Condition
The PROTECTED WHEN LIT and ON
indicators turn off, and
RESET
pops out.
Solution
Your surge protector received a current that
exceeded its capacity due to overload.
When this happens, the 15-amp circuit
breaker (located on the side of the case)
trips to prevent possible damage, and
RESET
pops out. To reset the surge
protector, disconnect one or more of the
connected devices and allow the surge
protector to cool down . Then push
RESET
in.
Condition
The PROTECTED WHEN LIT and ON
indicators turn off, and the surge protector
sounds an alarm.
Solution
Your surge protector's AC line is no longer
protected from surges and power is not
allowed to pass beyond th e alarm. When the
surge protector recei ves an unusua lly strong
surge, the built-in protection absorbs the
surge to protect your equipment. If the surg e
is strong enough, it d iminishes the prote ction
circuitry’s ability and the surge protector
sounds an alarm. If the PROTECTED
WHEN LIT and ON indicato rs will not light,
replace the surge protector.
