Surge Suppressors

TOUCHMASTER COMPACT • MT 6PLUS • CCI6PLUS

CAUTION! DO NOT connect to an ungrounded outlet. DO NOT use with 2-wire extension cords or adapters. This Surge
Suppressor is designed for indoor use only. Install the Surge Suppressor away from heat-emitting appliances such as radiators
or heat registers. Do not install where excessive moisture is present. Do not plug extension cords into it. Never install electrical
or telephone wiring during a lightning storm. Do not drill into any part of the housing or open the housing for any reason.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

These devices feature an internal protection that will disconnect
the surge—protective component at the end of its useful life but

will maintain power to the load—now unprotected.

Installation

Positioning Your Surge Suppressor: For desktop computers, place your monitor on the surge suppressor
(which is designed to support all standard monitors). For notebook computers, place computer on
the surge suppressor.

Connect Your Surge Suppressor to Your AC Power Line: The Surge Suppressor’s power cord
should only be connected to a standard 3-wire grounded 120V AC 60 Hz outlet.

Activate Your Surge Suppressor’s Switches: The “MASTER” switch simultaneously controls
power to all outlets (except the outlet labeled “UNSWITCHED” or “ALWAYS ON”). The other
switches control power to their individual corresponding outlets on the rear panel. The “MASTER”
switch must be ON for the individual switches to work. The outlet labeled “COMPUTER” does not
have an individual front panel switch; it is controlled by the “MASTER” switch. The switch indicator
lights will illuminate when their corresponding switches are ON.

The outlet labeled “UNSWITCHED” or “ALWAYS ON” is not controlled by any of the front panel
switches, even the “MASTER” switch. It provides power (as long as it is available at the wall outlet)
for equipment you always need ON, including fax machines or clocks. Outlets are labeled only for
your convenience. It is not necessary, for example, to connect a printer to an outlet labeled PRINTER.
Any type of equipment (as long as it does not exceed 15 amps) can be plugged into any of the outlets.

MT 6PLUS and CCI6PLUS models include a static eliminator feature. Before working on your
computer, either touch the shiny metal plate on the front of MT 6PLUS models or touch any part of
the metal case on CCI6PLUS models.

Check Your Surge Suppressor’s Diagnostic Indicator Lights: The diagnostic LEDs will indicate
various operating conditions when the surge suppressor is plugged into a live 120V AC outlet and
the “MASTER” switch is ON.

“PROTECTION PRESENT” or “SURGE PROTECTED” LED: Indicates the surge suppression
components are intact and providing complete protection against spikes and surges. If this LED
does not illuminate, some of the surge suppression components are not functioning and the unit
should be replaced. Call Tripp Lite Customer Service at [phone].

“WIRING STATUS” LED or “LINE OK” LED (select models): Indicates 120V AC power is pres­ent with no wiring faults detected.

“LOW VOLTAGE” LED (select models): Indicates that incoming line voltage has fallen below
acceptable levels. Connected equipment may still function, however performance may be impaired.
The surge suppressor can indicate low voltage conditions (brownouts) but cannot correct them.
If you experience chronic low voltage conditions, consider purchasing a line conditioner or UPS
system (available in a variety of configurations from Tripp Lite).

“LINE FAULT” or “FAULT” (select models): Indicates there is a wiring fault in your wall outlet
(reversed phases, missing ground, etc.). A loose wall outlet may cause this LED to illuminate.
Have a qualified electrician fix the fault immediately. This LED will identify most common
wiring faults (but not necessarily every possible type of fault).

Connect AC Equipment to Your Surge Suppressor: Connect the AC power cords of your equipment,
including any 2-wire devices. Do not plug extension cords into it. DO NOT OVERLOAD the Surge
Suppressor. Each outlet can handle up to 15 amps, but do not exceed a total load of more than 15
amps for all outlets. If the circuit breaker trips, the outlets will cease to provide power. Remove
overload and depress circuit breaker to reset.

Connect Your Surge Suppressor to Your Telephone Line: Connect the phone cord from the wall
jack directly to the Surge Suppressor phone jack labeled “IN.” Connect the phone cord (provided)
from the device to be protected directly to the phone jack labeled “OUT.” The Surge Suppressor
must always be the first item connected in line from the telephone wall jack. The Surge Suppressor
must be plugged into a 3-wire grounded outlet to work.

Ultimate Lifetime Insurance Policy

(Valid in U.S. and Canada ONLY)

TRIPP LITE warrants, for the lifetime of the product (at TRIPP LITE’s option), to repair or replace (on a pro rata basis)
directly connected equipment that is damaged due to power transients while properly connected to TRIPP LITE products
offering the ULTIMATE

®

Lifetime Insurance Policy. Reimbursement or restoration for data loss is not included. Power
transients include spikes and surges on the AC power, data or telephone lines that the TRIPP LITE products have been
designed to protect against (as recognized by industry standards).

AC Power Line Transients: To claim damages, the TRIPP LITE product must be plugged into a properly wired and
grounded outlet. No extension cords, or other electrical connections may be used. The installation must comply with all
applicable electrical and safety codes set forth by the National Electrical Code (NEC). Except as provided above, this
warranty does not cover any damage to properly connected electronic equipment resulting from a cause other than an
“AC power transient”. If user meets all of the above requirements, TRIPP LITE will repair or replace (at TRIPP LITE’S
option) equipment up to the specified value. (See ULTIMATE

®

Insurance Policy Limits). No coverage is allowed for damage

entering from telephone or data lines, unless they are separately protected as described below.
Telephone and Data Line Transients: Tripp Lite will repair or replace directly connected equipment that is damaged by

transients on telephone and/or data lines only when all such paths are protected by a Tripp Lite protection product(s)
and the AC power (utility) line is simultaneously protected by a Tripp Lite power protection device (UPS, surge suppressor
or line conditioner) with ULTIMATE

®

Insurance coverage. This product protects one line; therefore one directly connected

piece of equipment.
Reimbursement dollar limits will be equal to that of the Tripp Lite power protection suppressor. Coverage is excluded

where a suitable environment for the protection device is not provided, including, but not limited to, lack of a proper
safety ground. Telephone service equipment must also include a properly installed and operating “primary protection”
device at the telephone service entrance (such devices are normally added during telephone line installation).

All above warranties are null and void if the TRIPP LITE product has been improperly installed, tampered with or altered
in any way, or if the connected equipment was not used under normal operating conditions or in accordance with any
labels or instructions. All claims under this warranty must be submitted in writing to Tripp Lite within 30 days of the
occurrence or the claim will not be considered. This warranty does not include damage resulting from accident or misuse,
and applies to the domestic (USA & Canada) use of these products only.

Tripp Lite reserves the right to determine whether the damage to the connected equipment is due to malfunction of the
Tripp Lite product by requesting the equipment in question be sent to Tripp Lite for examination. This policy is above
and beyond, only to the extent needed, of that provided by any coverage of connected equipment provided by other
sources, including, but not limited to, any manufacturer’s warranty and/or any extended warranties.

EXCEPT AS PROVIDED ABOVE, TRIPP LITE MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WAR­RANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Some states do not permit limita­tion or exclusion of implied warranties; therefore, the aforesaid limitation(s) or exclusion(s) may not apply to purchaser.

EXCEPT AS PROVIDED ABOVE, IN NO EVENT WILL TRIPP LITE BE LIABLE FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT, EVEN IF
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. Specifically, TRIPP LITE is not liable for any costs, such as lost
profits or revenue, loss of equipment, loss of use of equipment, loss of software, loss of data, costs of substitutes,
claims by third parties, or otherwise.

To receive service under this warranty, you must be the original purchaser/user of the product in question. You must
obtain a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number from TRIPP LITE. Products must be returned to TRIPP LITE
with transportation charges prepaid and must be accompanied by a brief description of the problem and proof of date
and place of purchase.
