IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING!

Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended. Do not use this equipment within oxygen-enriched atmospheres, or within 0.3 m of a point at which an oxygen-enriched atmosphere is intentionally vented.

CAUTION!

• Use only with outlets that are grounded. DO NOT connect to an ungrounded outlet. DO NOT use with extension cords or adapters that eliminate the connection to ground.
• The power strip is designed for indoor use only, in a controlled environment. Install the power strip away from heat-emitting appliances such as radiators or heat registers. DO NOT install where excessive moisture or other conductive contaminants are present.
• Never install electrical wiring during a lightning storm.
• The power strip provides the convenience of multiple outlets, but DOES NOT provide surge or line noise protection for connected equipment.
• Do not attempt to modify the power strip, input plugs or power cables.
• Do not drill into or attempt to open any part of the power strip housing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Installation

1 Connect Your Power Strip to Your AC Power Line

Plug the power cord into a standard BS 1363 utility outlet. For best performance of the connected equipment, it is recommended the power strip be connected to a standard 13A socket that has an isolated earth to eliminate unwanted ground noise.

2 Connect AC Equipment to Your Power Strip

Plug the AC power cords of your equipment into your power strip. Do not use extension cords or adapters that eliminate the connection to ground. DO NOT OVERLOAD your power strip. If the current draw of the equipment connected to your power strip exceeds your model's Maximum Load Rating (13A), the fuse located inside the input plug will blow to prevent any possible damage. When the fuse blows, it will need to be replaced. Before replacing the fuse, remove excess equipment to prevent another overload. For fuse replacement instruction, see Power Strip Care and Maintenance.

3 Equipotential Grounding Wire

The power strip is provided with an equipotential ground stud and wire for connecting equipment. The use of equipotential grounding is recommended to reduce unwanted leakage currents between equipment.

Power Strip Care and Maintenance

Warning: Do not spray with liquid cleaning products.

• To clean, unplug unit and wipe with a clean cloth. Cloth may be dampened with all-purpose cleaner.
• Check status and operation of the Mains ON indicator light, if applicable.
• Ensure mechanical integrity of case.
• Ensure mechanical integrity of power cord. It should be free of cuts, frays, and exposed wires/conductors.
• Ensure mechanical integrity of built-in outlet safety covers, if applicable.
• Tripp Lite recommends annual inspection of its products when they are used in a hospital/medical/healthcare/assisted living environment.
• Check the input plug fuse. Normal operation requires the fuse to be undamaged. If the fuse is damaged, replace fuse with a British Plug Top Fuse BS 1362 (13A).
