II. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Installation:
a. Turn off the equipment you are connecting to the
MULTIPAK, and unplug the equipment’s power cord
from the wall outlet.
b. Connect Equipment
Connect the AC power cord of the equipment to be protected into one of the MULTIPAK
convenience receptacles. Make sure that the total amperage of all equipment plugged into
the MULTIPAK does not exceed the maximum branch circuit rating.
Please Note: Exceeding the branch circuit rating will
cause the branch circuit breaker to trip.
c. Connect the MULTIPAK to the Outlet: Plug the MULTIPAK input power cord into a properly
grounded and compatible branch circuit outlet.
Please Note: Do not plug the MULTIPAK into a relocatable power tap.
i. If the branch circuit outlet is correctly wired and the magnitude of the line voltage is
acceptable, between 105 and 130 V
RMS
, power will be connected to the outlets of the
MULTIPAK and the Green “System On” LED will illuminate. Your equipment is now
protected and installed correctly. You may now turn all connected equipment back on.
ii. If the branch circuit outlet is incorrectly wired, the “Red Wiring Fault” LED will illuminate. If
this occurs, contact a licensed electrician to correct the outlet wiring. Refer to Section III.1:
Hardware/MULTIPAK
iii. If neither “System On”, nor the “Wiring Fault” LED illuminates, there is either no voltage at
the receptacle or the magnitude of the line voltage is not acceptable (less than 105 VRMS
or above 130 VRMS). If this occurs, verify that the MULTIPAK is operating properly. To
test, plug the MULTIPAK into a known properly functioning outlet. If the “System On” LED
still does not illuminate in the functioning outlet call SurgeX at 1-800-645-9721. If the
“System On” LED illuminates, contact a licensed electrician to troubleshoot the abnormal
voltage condition.

III. HARDWARE
1. MULTIPAK:
a. Normal Operation
Plug the MULTIPAK input power cord into a properly grounded and compatible branch circuit outlet;
the green “System On” LED will illuminate.
b. Wiring Fault
When connected to an incorrectly wired branch circuit outlet, the Red LED will be illuminated.
c. Abnormal Voltage
When the magnitude of the branch circuit outlet voltage is not acceptable*, the MULTIPAK will
disconnect power to its outlets; refer to Section IV: Diagnostic Software for more information).
d. Clearing Memory
The MULTIPAK is able to timestamp the 60 most recent power quality events (information stored in
microcontroller non-volatile memory). The microcontroller memory contents can be cleared at any
time by following this method:
i. Diagnostic Software:
The device microcontroller memory may be cleared from within the Diagnostic Software in
the following location: “Tools/Clear Device Memory”. See Section V for details.
