Green Initiatives
Tripp Lite believes in environmental
responsibility. That’s why our new
Eco-Surge Surge Suppressors protect
more than just your vital electronics—
they’re the ideal GREEN protection
solution for your sensitive equipment,
your bottom line AND the environment.
RoHS Compliance
Tripp Lite was an early supporter of the
Restriction of Hazardous Substances
(RoHS) directive, which strictly limits
the use of six hazardous substances in
electrical and electronics equipment: lead,
mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium,
polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), and
polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE).

Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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, telephone, network
or coaxial 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.
The surge suppressor features 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.
Features
“Master” Outlet: Allows one “Master” device to control power for up to
eight peripheral devices (model dependent). “Master” device can be any 15
watt or higher device.
“Power Save” Outlets: In GREEN power-saving mode, these outlets have
power cut by the “Master” device when idle or turned off. These outlets
are recommended for intermittent-use devices such as monitors, printers,
scanners, lamps, DVD players, gaming consoles, amplifiers and speaker
systems.
“Always On” Outlets: Provide continuous power even in GREEN powersaving mode. These outlets are recommended for critical devices such as
modems, routers, external drives, cordless phones, fax machines, DVRs
(TiVo
®
), cable and satellite boxes.
User-Adjustable Wattage Control Switch: Found on the back panel of the
surge suppressor, this switch allows both higher-wattage (25W) and lowerwattage (15W) devices to be designated as the “Master” device. PCs, laptops,
Netbooks or any 15W device can control the GREEN power-saving mode.
Auto/Manual Switch: Allows the user to choose between GREEN powersaving mode (Auto) or standard protection (Manual). All outlets are protected
from surges in accordance with the model’s joule rating in either mode.
Diagnostic LEDs: “Grounded” (Red) LED assures wall outlet is grounded
and surge protection can function properly. “Protected” (Green) LED assures
that surge protection is present. If this green LED ever goes out, Tripp Lite will
replace your surge suppressor under warranty at no charge.
Status LEDs: “Master”, “Power Save” and “Always On” (all Red) LEDs light
when AC power is present.
RJ11 Telephone Jack (select models): Connect phone cables from the wall
jack through the surge suppressor (RJ11 jacks) to the device to be protected.

Installation
Mount Your Surge Suppressor (Optional Installation. Available on
Select Models Only): If desired, mount your surge suppressor on a wall or
other sturdy, vertical surface. However, you must mount the surge suppressor
prior to connecting your equipment. Place a sheet of paper over the surge
suppressor’s mounting holes and mark their centers with a push pin. Next,
place this template over the desired area and mark with the push pins. Install
screws (user supplied) into the marks until ¼ in. (0.6 cm) of the screw heads
are exposed. Mount the surge suppressor over the screw heads and slide into
place.
Connect Your Surge Suppressor to the AC Power Line: Plug the surge
suppressor’s power cord into a standard, 3-wire grounded 120V AC outlet.
Choose Your Performance Mode: Move the surge suppressor’s Auto/
Manual switch to the desired position. Switching to “Auto” activates the
GREEN power-saving mode, while switching to “Manual” activates standard
mode. Note: All outlets are protected from surges in accordance with the
model’s joule rating in either mode.
Choose the Power-Saving Mode Wattage Control Threshold: (Optional)
If using the GREEN power-saving mode, move the Wattage Control switch
(found on the back panel of the unit) to the desired position. Switching to the
“PC/NB” position allows higher-wattage (25W) devices to control the powersaving mode as the “Master” device. Switching to the “Netbook” position
allows lower-wattage (15W) devices to be designated as the “Master” device.
Features continued
RJ45 Network Jack (select models): Connect network cords from the wall
jack or cable/DSL modem through the surge suppressor (RJ45 jacks) to the
device to be protected.
Coaxial Jacks (select models): Connect coaxial cables from the wall jack
through the surge suppressor (“F” style coaxial jacks) to the device to be
protected.
Power Cord with Right-Angle Plug: 8- or 10-foot cord length (model
dependent) with space-saving right-angle plug allows the surge suppressor to
reach distant outlets and furniture to be set flush against a wall.
Circuit Breaker: Protects equipment against dangerous system overload. If
the load on the surge suppressor exceeds 15 amps, the circuit breaker* will
trip and the outlets will stop providing AC power. If the circuit breaker trips,
reduce the load and depress the breaker to reset.
* Circuit breakers are integrated into the power switch on select models and offered as a separate feature on
other models.
