Frequently Asked Questions - Protek PR-71S ELAC

How do I reset the surge protector after an overload?

Press the Overload Breaker located near the front outlets to reset. After resetting, ensure the Protected/Clean Power LED is on; if not, the surge protector needs replacement.

What does the Protected LED indicate?

When the Protected/Clean Power LED is on, your outlets are protected. If it is off, surge protection is not working and your devices are at risk.

What should I do if the Grounded LED is off?

The wall outlet is not properly grounded. Disconnect the surge protector and call a licensed electrician to resolve the issue.

Can I charge USB devices with this surge protector?

Yes, the front panel has dual USB ports (5V total 2.4A) for charging compatible devices.

What is the difference between Group 1 and Group 2 outlets?

Group 1 (2 outlets) is for high-current devices like audio amplifiers. Group 2 (5 outlets) provides 58dB EMI/RFI filtration for source and lower current devices.

How do I adjust the brightness of the display?

Repeatedly press the Dimmer button (labeled with a brightness icon) to cycle through 10%, 35%, 70%, and 100% brightness levels.

How do I perform a factory reset?

Press and hold the Power button for 10 seconds. This will reset the unit to factory defaults.

What causes the Unsafe Voltage LED to turn on?

The LED turns on when the input voltage is above 135V or below 95V. The surge protector will disconnect power to protect connected devices. Consult a licensed electrician.

Can I use this surge protector with a 220V outlet?

No, this unit is designed for 120V @ 60Hz only. Plugging into a 220V outlet may damage the device and void the warranty.

USING YOUR SURGE PROTECTOR

1. Ensure the power is off on the devices you will be connecting to the AC outlets on the surge protector.
2. Plug the surge protector into a properly grounded AC wall outlet and turn on the surge protector.
3. Check that the PROTECTED and GROUNDED blue LEDs are illuminated. If the PROTECTED LED is not illuminated, the surge protector is not operating properly and will not protect your connected devices. If the GROUNDED LED is not illuminated the outlet the surge protector is connected to is not properly grounded and should not be used. Please have a licensed electrician diagnose and troubleshoot the affected wall outlet prior to use.
4. Plug your equipment into the outlets on the surge protector and power on your devices as usual.
5. USB devices can be charged/powered by simply connecting the USB power cord to the USB ports on the surge protector. The USB ports deliver 5V and up to 2.4amps of power.

SAFETY INFORMATION

• RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK – Use only in dry locations and only indoors.
