Thank you for selecting the SurgeArrest Rackmoun t from American
Power Conversion! It is designed to provide the highest d e gree of
protection from utility line spikes, surges and EMI/RFI noise. Please
complete and return the enclosed w arranty registration card.

Surges are caused by nearby lightning activit y and motor load switch­ing created by air conditioners, elevators, refrigerators, and so on. The
SurgeArrest Rackmount filters out EMI/RFI (electromagnetic and
radio frequency interference) noise with components whose electrical
resistance is very high at radio frequencies. EMI/RFI noise is com­monly created by the same activ ity, which produces surges, and can
also be caused by nearby radio transmitters.

Important Safety, Grounding and
Installation Instructions

Before installing the unit, ensure you have read and understand the
following safety instructions:

• The SurgeArrest Rac kmoun t supressor is int ended for in door use
only. Do not install this product where it is exposed to excessive
moisture or heat.

• Never install any wiring or products during a lightning storm.

• Plug the SurgeArrest Rackmount supressor into a 3-wire,
grounded outlet only. If the
illuminated, contact a qualified electrician to correct the service
wiring.

• The SurgeArrest Rackmount is designed to be mounted in a vari­ety of orientations in an equipment rack. Brackets with multiple
hole patterns can be easily installed in either a horizontal or verti­cal orientation, as shown in the diagrams below, and to the right.

• Do not use extension cords or adapters with this product.

CAUTION: Do not install this device if there is not at least 10 meters (30
feet) or more of wire between the electrical outlet and the electrical ser­vice panel.

•Two Wire Guides are provided to neatly bundle the line cord s of
the equipment being protected. Four Plug P ull-out Guards are
provided. Use these to prevent cord s from accidental disconnec­tion from suppressor receptacles, shown in the diagram below.

•The Switch Guard prevents power from acc ide ntally being
turned off.

• Rack mount ears are included, and are pre-i nstalled for conve­nience. If required, they can be att ached.

•A 15-foot power cord provides additional convenience in posi-
tioning the rack system into place.

Operation

The Site Wiring Fault Indicator (red) will illuminate if the building
wiring is faulty, regardless of the position of the On/Off Switch. This
indicator signals ei ther: missing ground wiring, the hot and neutral
wires are reversed, or the ne utral circuit is overloaded. If this indic ator
is illuminated, a qualified electrician should be called to correct the
service wiring. When Sur ge Arrest Rack mount is fully loaded , the S ite
Wiring Fault indicator may flicker - this is normal and may not be
indicative of a fault. Even if equipment appears to operate normally,
faulty wiring could result in a shock hazard that can prevent the
SurgeArrest Rackmoun t from providing rated surge and noise sup­pression.

The Protection Working LED (green) indicator is normally illumi-

Note:

nated when the switch is activated. The li g ht is off when SurgeAr rest Rack­mount has disconnected itsel f from th e utility due to a sustained ultra high
energy surge, such as a direct lightning str ike . If you observe that this LED
indicator is off, first check the Circuit breaker and On/Off Switch to make sure
that the suppressor is on and receiving power. If the Protection Working LED
still does not light, return the unit to APC to be repaired or replaced.

The Circuit Breaker is tripped when the button pops out. This indi­cates the suppressor is overloaded, and at least one supported device
needs to be unplugged. The circuit breaker is rated to trip at the same
overload point as most home and office utility service branch protec­tors (15 Amps).

On/Off Control regulates power to the eight switched outlets, and

The
can be used as a system master switch to all nine switched outlets.
