User Manual

Use of this equipment in life support applications where

affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not
use this equipment in the presence of a flammable anesthetic
mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
Installation
Mount Your Surge Suppressor or Power Strip (Optional Installation): If
desired, mount your surge suppressor or power strip on a wall or other sturdy,
vertical surface. However, you must mount the surge suppressor or power strip
prior to connecting your equipment. Place a sheet of paper over the product’s
mounting holes and mark their centers with a push pin. Next, place this
template over the desired area and mark with the push pins. Install screws
(user supplied) into the marks until ¼ in. (0.5 cm.) of the screw heads are
exposed. Mount the product over the screw heads and slide into place.
Connect Your Surge Suppressor or Power Strip to the AC Power Line:
Plug the product’s power cord into a standard, 3-wire grounded 120V AC,
60 Hz. outlet.
Turn Your Surge Suppressor or Power Strip ON: Press the product’s power
switch to “ON”. All models feature an illuminated switch.
Check Your Surge Suppressor’s Diagnostic Indicator Light (Available on
Surge Suppressor Models Only): If your surge suppressor features a
diagnostic LED, check it prior to connecting your equipment. It will indicate
operating conditions when the surge suppressor is plugged into a live 120V
AC outlet and the surge suppressor’s power switch is on.
“PROTECTED” LED: Indicates the surge suppression components are
intact and providing complete protection against surges. If this LED does
not illuminate, some of the surge suppression components are not
functioning, and the unit should be replaced. Call Tripp Lite Customer
Support at [phone].
Connect Your Equipment to the Surge Suppressor’s or Power Strip’s AC
Outlets: Plug your equipment’s power cords (including 2-wire devices) into
the product’s AC outlets. All models feature integrated safety covers which
cover the outlets when not in use. Models also feature special widely-spaced
outlets to accommodate transformers without covering other outlets. DO NOT
plug in extension cords. DO NOT OVERLOAD the product’s outlets. The
product can accommodate a total equipment load of up to 15 amps (whether
plugged into a single outlet or spread out over multiple outlets). If the load on
the product exceeds 15 amps, the integrated circuit breaker within the
ON/OFF switch or the GFCI plug (depending on the model) will trip and the
outlets will stop providing power. If the circuit breaker or GFCI plug trips,
reduce the load by unplugging some devices. For models that include an
ON/OFF switch with an integrated circuit breaker, rock the switch from the
“OFF” back to the “ON” position to reset. For models that include the GFCI
plug, simply press the “RESET” button to reset. You can also test that the
GFCI is functioning properly by pressing the “TEST” button. The unit should
trip to indicate proper function. If so, press the “RESET” button to reset. If the
unit does not trip after pressing the reset button, call Tripp Lite Customer
Support at [phone].

Ultimate Lifetime Insurance Policy
(Select models: This is a limited warranty valid in the U.S. and Canada only.)
Tripp Lite warrants, for the lifetime of the product, (at Tripp Lite's option) to repair or replace (on a pro rata basis) directly connected
equipment that is damaged due to power transients while properly connected to Tripp Lite products offering the Ultimate Lifetime
Insurance Policy. Power transients include spikes and surges on the AC power, data or telephone lines that the Tripp Lite products
have been designed to protect against (as recognized by industry standards). The following four paragraphs are conditions that must
be complied with before the warranty becomes valid; failure to comply with these requirements will void the warranty.
AC Power Line Transients: To claim damages, the Tripp Lite product must be plugged into a properly wired and grounded outlet. No
extension cords or other electrical connections may be used. The installation must comply with all applicable electrical and safety
codes set forth by the National Electrical Code (NEC). Except as provided above, this warranty does not cover any damage to
properly connected electronic equipment resulting from a cause other than an "AC power transient". If user meets all of the above
requirements, Tripp Lite will repair or replace (at Tripp Lite's option) equipment up to the specified value (See Ultimate Lifetime
Insurance Policy Limits). No coverage is allowed for damage entering from telephone or data lines, unless they are separately
protected, as described below.
Telephone and Data Line Transients: Tripp Lite will repair or replace directly connected equipment that is damaged by transients on
telephone and/or data lines only when all such paths are protected by a Tripp Lite protection product(s) and the AC power (utility) line
is simultaneously protected by a Tripp Lite power protection device (UPS, surge suppressor or line conditioner) with Ultimate Lifetime
Insurance coverage. Additional telephone and/or data line connected devices downstream must have their own telephone and/or
dataline protectors.
Reimbursement dollar limits will be equal to that of the Tripp Lite power protection protector. Coverage is excluded where a suitable
environment for the protection device is not provided, including, but not limited to, lack of a proper safety ground. Telephone service
equipment must also include a properly installed and operating "primary protection" device at the telephone service entrance (such
devices are normally added during telephone line installation).
All above warranties are null and void if the Tripp Lite product has been improperly installed, tampered with or altered in any way, or
if the connected equipment was not used under normal operating conditions or in accordance with any labels or instructions. All claims
under this warranty must be submitted in writing to Tripp Lite within 30 days of the occurrence or the claim will not be considered.
This warranty does not include damage resulting from accident or misuse, and applies to the domestic (USA & Canada) use of these
products only. Tripp Lite reserves the right to determine whether the damage to the connected equipment is due to malfunction of the
Tripp Lite product by requesting the equipment in question be sent to Tripp Lite for examination. This policy is above and beyond,
only to the extent needed, of that provided by any coverage of connected equipment provided by other sources, including, but not
limited to, any manufacturer's warranty and/or any extended warranties.
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED ABOVE, TRIPP LITE MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Some states do not permit limitation or exclusion of
implied warranties; therefore, the aforesaid limitation(s) or exclusion(s) may not apply to purchaser. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED ABOVE,
IN NO EVENT WILL TRIPP LITE BE LIABLE FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. Specifically, Tripp
Lite is not liable for any costs, such as lost profits or revenue, loss of equipment, loss of use of equipment, loss of software, loss of
data, costs of substitutes, claims by third parties or otherwise. Coverage also does not apply to connected medical and industrial
equipment.
To receive service under this warranty, you must be the original purchaser/user of the product in question. You must obtain a Returned
Material Authorization (RMA) number from Tripp Lite. Products must be returned to Tripp Lite with transportation charges prepaid and
must be accompanied by a brief description of the problem encountered and proof of date and place of purchase.
CAUTION! DO NOT connect to an ungrounded outlet. DO NOT use with 2-wire extension cords or adapters.This product is designed
for indoor use only. Install the product away from heat-emitting appliances such as radiators or heat registers. Do not install where
excessive moisture is present. Do not plug extension cords into it. Never install electrical, telephone, network or coaxial wiring
during a lightning storm. Do not drill into any part of the housing or open the housing for any reason. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside. The Surge Suppressors feature an internal protection that will disconnect the surge-protective
component at the end of its useful life but will maintain power to the load—now unprotected.
