The Super Series line of quality surge suppressors protects your sensitive equipment from spikes, surges and line noise
on the AC power line. Super Series “PLUS TEL” and “DELUXE” models include RJ-style phone jacks for protection against
spikes, surges and line noise on a single telephone line. Super Series “PLUS COAX” models include F coaxial jacks for
protection against spikes, surges and line noise on a standard cable TV coaxial line.

CONNECTING THE SUPER SERIES SURGE SUPPRESSOR

Connection to AC Power Line (All Models)

The Super Series Surge Suppressor power cord should only be connected to a standard 3-wire grounded 120 Volt AC 60
Hz outlet. The Super Series Surge Suppressor is equipped with a 4-way mounting bracket and can be mounted on a flat
surface or wall. Use #8 round-head screws.

Standards

DO NOT connect to an ungrounded AC outlet. DO NOT use with 2-wire extension cords or adapters. Lack of
a proper ground connection will eliminate common-mode protection and cause small leakage potential on the
case. However, you can plug 2-wire devices into any of the surge suppressor’s outlets. COAX models are NOT
lightning arrestors. DO NOT install COAX models in line with TV, AM, FM, amateur radio or any other kind
of outside antenna used either for reception or transmission of radio or television signals.

Connection To Telephone Line (Select Models Only)

Super Series PLUS TEL and DELUXE models have two female RJ-style phone jacks that accept connection of a wide range
of equipment with male RJ-style plugs. These models provide 2-wire/single telephone line protection. PLUS TEL and
DELUXE models MUST always be the FIRST item connected in line from the telephone jack. They MUST always be
plugged into a 3-wire grounded outlet for the telephone protection to work. Connect the phone cord from the wall jack
directly to the jack labelled “IN” (or “LINE”). Connect the phone cord from the device to be protected directly to the jack
labelled “OUT” (or “EQUIP”). The connected equipment is now protected against spikes, surges and line noise on the
telephone line.

Connection To Coaxial Line (Select Models Only)

Super Series PLUS COAX models have two “F” connector jacks that accept connection of equipment with coaxial cables.
PLUS COAX models MUST always be the FIRST item connected in line from the coaxial jack. PLUS COAX models MUST
always be plugged into a 3-wire grounded outlet for the coaxial protection to work. Connect the coaxial cable from the
wall jack directly to the PLUS COAX jack labelled “LINE” (or “IN”). Connect the coaxial cable from the device to be
protected directly to the PLUS COAX jack labelled “EQUIP” (or “OUT”). The connected equipment is now protected
against spikes, surges and line noise on the coaxial cable.

CONNECTING EQUIPMENT

After you have properly connected your Super Series Surge Suppressor to the AC line (and telephone and coaxial line, if
applicable), you can connect the AC power cords of equipment to the surge suppressor. DO NOT OVERLOAD the surge
suppressor. Connect loads having a total current draw of up to 15 amps. Each outlet can handle up to 15 amps, but do not
exceed a total load of 15 amps for all outlets. If the circuit breaker trips, remove overload and depress circuit breaker
button to reset.

FEATURES

Circuit Breaker (All Models)

If the current draw of the equipment connected to the Super Series Surge Suppressor exceeds 15 amps for longer than a few
seconds, the circuit breaker will open (trip) to prevent any possible damage. When the circuit breaker trips, the plunger
will be extended. Allow the breaker to cool for one minute before depressing the plunger to reset.

Illuminated “ON/OFF” Switch (Select Models)

With the Super Series Surge Suppressor plugged into a 120V AC outlet, this switch will illuminate RED whenever moved
to the “ON” position. This indicates 120V AC power is present at the unit’s AC receptacles.

Diagnostic Indicator Lights

There are up to three LEDs on the front panel that indicate various operating parameters when the unit is plugged into a
live 120V AC outlet.

• Protection Present (Green LED) (All Models)

Indicates the surge suppression components are intact and providing full protection against spikes and surges. This
LED should be illuminated anytime the “ON/OFF” switch is turned ON and power is present as indicated by the
lighted power switch. If the Protection Present LED does not illuminate, then some of the surge suppression compo­nents are not functioning and the unit should be returned for repair as soon as possible. You may still use the unit;
however, connected equipment will be protected from spikes and surges at a lesser level than normal.

• Line “OK” (Green LED) (Select Models)

Indicates 120V AC power is present with no wiring faults detected. When this LED is illuminated, AC power is safe
for connected equipment.

• Fault (Red LED) (Select Models)

Indicates a wiring fault has been detected. If this LED illuminates at anytime the unit is plugged in, the fault should
be repaired by a qualified electrician as soon as possible. This LED indicates that phases are reversed, ground is
missing or some other sort of wiring error exists in the circuit the Super Series Surge Suppressor is plugged into. The
Fault detector circuitry will identify most common wiring faults, but will not necessarily detect every possible type
of fault.

If the Fault indicator light illuminates, carefully check the AC receptacle the Super Series Surge Suppressor is
plugged into. The receptacle must be tight and securely grounded. A loose AC receptacle may cause the Fault
indicator light to illuminate. It must be understood that this Red LED indicates the presence of a wiring fault,
but does not indicate the exact nature of the fault. Therefore, a qualified electrician should be contacted to make
necessary repairs.

The Fault indicator light will illuminate to indicate that the Super Series Surge Suppressor’s surge suppression
components have been compromised as a result of surge damage. If, after inspection by a qualified electrician,
a wiring fault is not detected, the Fault indicator light may be indicating that the surge suppression components
have been compromised as a result of surge damage. Even if the surge suppressor is providing AC power at all
of the receptacles, it may not provide its total rated surge suppression as outlined in the “Specifications” section.
