TRIPP LITE HTPOWERBAR10 (01) PDF MANUAL

CAUTION! DO NOT connect to an ungrounded outlet. DO NOT use with 2-wire extension cords or adapters. This surge suppressor is designed for indoor use only. Install the surge suppressor 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.

If desired, mount your surge suppressor to a wall or other solid, vertical surface. You must mount the surge suppressor prior to connecting your equipment. Place a sheet of paper over the surge suppressor’s mounting holes and mark their centers with a push pin. Next, place this template over the desired area and mark with a push pin. Install screws (user-supplied) into the marks until 1/2″ (0.5 cm) of the screw heads are exposed. Mount the surge suppressor over the screw heads and slide into place.

Plug the surge suppressor’s power cord into a standard 120V AC, 60 Hz, grounded outlet.

Press the surge suppressor’s power switch ON. The surge suppressor’s power switch will light, indicating power is being supplied to the surge suppressor’s outlets.

Check the LEDs before connecting your equipment. They will indicate various operating conditions when the surge suppressor is plugged into a live 120V AC outlet and the power switch is ON.

“Current Usage” LED Meter: This multi-colored LED set allows you to get maximum use out of your surge suppressor by showing you the total amperage load of all of your connected components. A yellow LED serves as a warning; a red LED indicates current usage is too high and a real load should be taken to reduce the connected load.

“Input Voltage” LED Meter: This multi-colored LED set clearly shows voltage variations in incoming utility power. A yellow LED serves as a warning; red LEDs indicate voltages are outside of the nominal range (either too low or too high). The surge suppressor can alert you to abnormal voltage but cannot regulate it. If equipment performance is continuously affected by persistent high or low voltage conditions, consider purchasing a Tripp Lite UPS System or Line Conditioner.

“Protected” LED: This LED indicates the surge suppression components are intact and providing complete protection against surges. If this LED does not light, some of the surge suppression components are not functioning and the unit should be replaced.

“Grounded” LED: This LED indicates the wall outlet is properly grounded and the surge protection will work correctly. If there is AC power but this light does NOT light, have a qualified electrician check your outlet’s wiring.

“Switched” LED: This LED indicates that AC power is available to the surge suppressor’s outlets.

Plug your equipment’s power cords (including 2-wire devices) into the surge suppressor’s AC outlets. Every outlet is an Isolated Filter Bank. Isolated Filter Banks provide an extra level of filtering between components. For example, if you plug a receiver into an Isolated Filter Bank outlet, it will not be affected by any interference generated by a DVD player plugged elsewhere on the surge suppressor. Special widely-spaced outlets accommodate transformers without covering other outlets. DO NOT plug extension cords into it.

DO NOT OVERLOAD the surge suppressor’s outlets. The surge suppressor can accommodate a total equipment load of up to 15 amps (whether plugged into a single outlet or spread over multiple outlets). If the load on the surge suppressor exceeds 15 amps, the circuit breaker will trip and the outlets will stop providing power. If the circuit breaker trips, reduce the load by unplugging some devices. Depress the Resettable Master Switch with Integrated Circuit Breaker to reset the breaker and restore power.

Connect a phone cable from the wall jack directly to the RJ-style phone jack labeled “IN” on the suppressor. Connect a phone cable from the RJ-style phone jack labeled “OUT” on the suppressor directly to the device to be protected. HTPOWERBAR10 models feature two “OUT” jacks; either one or both of the jacks may be used, but protection is for a device or devices that share a single line. The surge suppressor must always be the first item connected in line from the wall jack. The surge suppressor must be plugged into a 3-wire grounded AC outlet for phone line surge protection to work.

Connect a coaxial cable from the wall jack directly to the “F” type coaxial jack labeled “IN” on the surge suppressor. Connect a coaxial cable from the “F” type coaxial jack labeled “OUT” on the suppressor directly to the device to be protected. Additional sets of coaxial jacks allow for simultaneous connection and protection of additional devices on additional lines (cable, antenna or satellite). Make sure that each device and its corresponding wall jack are connected to corresponding “IN” and “OUT” jacks on the surge suppressor. The surge suppressor must always be the first item connected in line from the coaxial wall jack. The surge suppressor must be plugged into a 3-wire grounded AC outlet for coaxial surge protection to work. Make sure coax cables connected to satellite dishes, antennas, etc. are also grounded.

Coordinate suppressor outlets with component power cords for easy identification. Surge suppressor outlet labels are only a suggested connection scheme; you can connect any type of component to any of the surge suppressor’s outlets.
