will disconnect the surge-protective component at the
end of its useful life but will maintain power to the load—
now unprotected.
(Optional Installation): Connect a coaxial cable from the wall jack directly to
the surge suppressor’s “F” style coaxial jack labeled “IN.” Connect a coaxial
cable from the surge suppressor’s “F” style coaxial jack labeled “OUT” directly to
the device to be connected. Select models include a second set of coaxial jacks
for simultaneous connection and protection of devices on two separate lines (cable,
antenna or satellite). The surge suppressor must always be the first item con-
nected in line from the coaxial wall jack. The surge suppressor must be plugged into
a 3-wire grounded AC outlet for coaxial line surge protection to work. Make
sure coax cables connected to satellite dishes, antennas, etc. are also grounded.
Installation
Mount Your Surge Suppressor (Optional Installation): If desired, mount
your surge suppressor on a wall or other sturdy, vertical surface. However, 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 cen-
ters 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 surge suppressor over the
screw heads and slide into place.

WARNING: The individual user should take care to determine prior to use whether this device is suitable, adequate or safe for the
use intended. Since individual applications are subject to great variation, the manufacturer makes no representation or warranty
as to the suitability or fitness of these devices for any specific application.
Connect Your Equipment to the Surge Suppressor’s AC Outlets: Plug
your equipment’s power cords (including 2-wire devices) into the surge sup-
pressor’s AC outlets. Select models feature integrated safety covers which cover the
outlets when not in use. Other models feature special widely-spaced outlets to
accommodate transformers without covering other outlets. DO NOT plug in
extension cords. 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 out 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 circuit breaker or switch to
“RESET” to reset the breakers and restore power.
Policy of Tripp Lite is one of continuous improvement. Specifications are subject to change without notice.

Ultimate Lifetime Insurance Policy
(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).
* Circuit breakers are integrated into the power switch on select models and offered as a separate
feature on other models.
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 prop-
erly connected electronic equipment resulting from a cause other than an “AC power transient”. If user meets all of the above require-
ments, 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.
Connect Your Equipment to the Surge Suppressor’s Phone Jacks
(Optional Installation. Available on Select Models Only): Connect a phone
cable from the wall jack directly to the surge suppressor’s RJ-style phone jack
labeled “IN.” Connect a phone cable from the surge suppressor’s RJ-style phone
jack labeled “OUT” directly to the device to be protected. Select models feature
two “OUT” jacks; either one or both of the jacks may be used, but protection
is for a device or devices sharing a single line only. The surge suppressor must
always be the first item connected in line from the wall jack. The surge suppres-
sor must be plugged into a 3-wire, grounded AC outlet for phone line surge pro-
tection to work.
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.
Connect Your Equipment to the Surge Suppressor’s Network Jacks*
(Optional Installation. Available on Select Models Only): Connect a data
cord from the wall jack or cable/DSL modem directly to the surge suppressor’s
network jack labeled “IN.” Connect a data cord from the surge suppressor’s
network jack labeled “OUT” directly to the device to be protected. The surge
suppressor must always be the first item connected in line from the Ethernet
source (typically a wall jack). The surge suppressor must be plugged into a
3-wire grounded AC outlet for network line surge protection to work.

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 man-
ufacturer’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
