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.

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 .

, power will be connected to the outlets of the

RMS
