Troubleshooting

PROBLEM Your circuit breaker trips.

Your surge suppressor is overloaded.

The green "Protection Present" and/ or "Line OK" LED(s) do not light.

Your equipment is not fully protected against surges or there is a wiring fault in your wall outlet.

The red "Fault" LED lights when you first plug in your surge suppressor.

There is a wiring fault in your wall outlet. (Phases are reversed, ground is missing, etc.)

SOLUTION

Unplug some equipment. Wait one minute while your surge suppressor cools, then push the circuit breaker button back in. (See Fig. 1)

Make sure that power is available at the wall outlet, the power switch is on and lit, and the Isobar is completely plugged in.

Have a qualified electrician fix the fault immediately. NOTE: A loose wall outlet may cause the "FAULT" LED to light. Your surge suppressor will identify most wiring faults, but may not identify every possible type of fault.

Have a qualified electrician examine your outlet to determine if a fault has developed. If no fault exists, contact Tripp Lite for service.

Warranty and Insurance

LIFETIME LIMITED WARRANTY

TRIPP LITE warrants its products to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for life. TRIPP LITE’s obligation under this warranty is limited to repairing or replacing (at its sole option) any such defective products. To obtain service under this warranty, you must obtain a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number from TRIPP LITE or an authorized TRIPP LITE service center. Products must be returned to TRIPP LITE or an authorized TRIPP LITE service center with transportation charges prepaid and must be accompanied by a brief description of the problem encountered and proof of date and place of purchase. This warranty does not apply to equipment which has been damaged by accident, negligence or misapplication or has been altered or modified in any way.

The warranties of all TRIPP LITE surge suppressors are null and void if they have been connected to the output of any UPS system. The warranties of all TRIPP LITE UPS Systems are null and void if a surge suppressor has been connected to its output receptacles.

EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, 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 the 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.

The policy of TRIPP LITE is one of continuous improvement. Specifications are subject to change without notice.

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 Lifetime 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 Lifetime Insurance coverage. Reimbursement dollar limits will be equal to that of the Tripp Lite power protection protector. 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 and 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
