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.
Connect the MULTIPAK to the Outlet: Plug the MULTIPAK input power cord into a properly
c.
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
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 .
The MULTIPAK may be accessed by a PC while connected to AC power and equipment or while
disconnected from AC power and equipment.
If accessed by a PC while connected to AC power: For best protection, it is recommended that the
power cord of the computer is plugged into an available receptacle on the MULTIPAK.
Connecting the MULTIPAK to a PC allows for the availability of the
following features:
Equipment required for PC communication:
is not at least 10 meters (30 feet) or more of
wire between the electrical outlet and the
electrical service panel.

a. Connect the MULTIPAK Data Interface Cable to your PC
i. Plug the USB end of the optional Data Cable into an
available USB port on your PC.
b. Install the MULTIPAK Driver Files
i. Automatic (requires Internet connection)
When you plug the USB into your PC, Windows will automatically detect the cable.
1. When the “Found New Hardware” pop-up box appears, be sure to select
“Yes, this time only” option for the device driver installation
2. This installation could take a few minutes to search and download the driver
files. Once the files are found, follow the on-screen instructions to install.
3. Please Note: The drivers will first install the USB serial converter and will then
install the USB serial port drivers separately.
ii. Manual
In the event that the automatic driver installation does not function or there is no
Internet connection, select “Install Drivers” during the MULTIPAK Software Installation.
