Safety Precautions
Read the following before installing or operating the Rack Bar Surge (RKBS):
- CAUTION: Use ONLY the supplied hardware (including screws, pegs and cord retainer clips) to attach the mounting brackets. Using different hardware or improper installations may cause damage that is NOT covered by this warranty.
- The RKBS must only be plugged into a three-wire, grounded outlet on a circuit protected by a fuse or circuit breaker. Connection to any other type of power outlet may result in a shock hazard.
- Do not use extension cords or adapters with this RKBS.
- Never install a RKBS, or associated wiring or equipment, during a lightning storm.
- Check that the power cord, plug, and socket are in good condition.
- This device 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. If this situation is undesirable for the application, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for replacing the device.
- CAUTION: To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock, this RKBS should be installed in a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area free of conductive contaminants. Do not install this RKBS where excessive moisture or heat is present..
Installation
Horizontal Installation
- Step 1 : Mounting bracket installation
Install the screws (M4 X 6) in holes diagonal from each other.
- Step 2: RKBS Mounting
Install the RKBS using fasteners compatible with the rack.
Vertical Installation with Brackets
- Step 1: Mounting bracket installation
Install the screws (M4 X 6) in holes diagonal from each other.
- Step 2: RKBS Mounting
Install the RKBS using fasteners compatible with the rack.
Cord Retention Tray installation
(Optional for both horizontal and vertical installations)
Attach the Cord Retention Tray to the RKBS with the 4 supplied Cord Retention
Tray Mounting Screws (M3 X 6).
Attach the Cord Retainer Clips to the Cord
Retention Tray.
Electrical Installation
- Step 1: Receptacle evaluation
Ensure that the plug type of your RKBS unit (e.g. NEMA 5-15P, NEMA L5-30P) matches the wall receptacle type that you are using.
CAUTION:
RKBS must be plugged into a three-wire, grounded wall receptacle only. The
wall receptacle must also be connected to an appropriate branch circuit/main
with fuse or circuit breaker protection. Connection to any other type of wall
receptacle may result in a shock hazard.
-
Step 2 : Plug the RKBS into the wall receptacle
-
Step 3: Attach equipment
Before attaching equipment, it is important to calculate the total load that
you will be placing on the RKBS. It is extremely important not to exceed the
RKBS’s maximum current load (as outlined in the Specifications section). In
order to determine your total load, simply add up the amperage of your devices
and ensure that it does not exceed the unit’s capacity.
- Step 4: Verify Protection
Verify that both the Grounded and Protected LEDs are illuminated. This means that the RKBS is properly grounded and is protecting the equipment from surges.
Troubleshooting

Limited Warranty and Connected Equipment Guarantee
Read the following terms and conditions carefully before using the Cyber Power
RKBS(the “Product”). By using the Product you consent to be bound by and
become a party to the terms and conditions of this Limited Warranty and
Connected Equipment Guarantee (CEG) (together referred to as this “Warranty”).
If you do not agree to the terms and conditions of this Warranty, you should
return the Product for a full refund prior to using it.
Who is Providing this Warranty?
Cyber Power Systems (USA), Inc. (“Cyber Power”) provides this Limited
Warranty.
What Does This Warranty Cover?
This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship in the Product under
normal use and conditions. If the Technical Specifications indicate a dollar
amount for Connected Equipment Guarantee (CEG), this Warranty also covers
equipment that was connected to the Product and damaged because of the failure
of the Product. If the Technical Specifications do not indicate that there is
a dollar amount for Connected Equipment Guarantee (CEG), then that product
does not have surge protection, and the Connected Equipment Guarantee (CEG)
does not apply. In that case, damage to equipment that was connected to the
Product and damaged because of a failure of the Product is not covered by the
Limited Warranty, and any damage to that connected equipment is your
responsibility, not ours.
What is the Period of Coverage?
This Warranty is for as long as the original owner owns the Product.
Who Is Covered?
This warranty only covers the original purchaser. Coverage ends if you sell or
otherwise transfer the Product.

How Long Do I Have To Make A Claim?
All claims must be made within ten days of the occurrence.
What Will We Do To Correct Problems?
CyberPower will inspect and examine the Product.
If the Product is defective in material or workmanship, CyberPower will repair
or replace it at CyberPower’s expense, or, if CyberPower is unable to or
decides not to repair or replace the Product (if defective) within a
reasonable time, CyberPower will refund to you the full purchase price you
paid for the Product (purchase receipt showing price paid is required). If it
appears that our Product failed to protect any equipment plugged into it, and
if this Product has Connected Equipment Guarantee (CEG) coverage (Look above
at “What does this Warranty Cover?”), we will also send you forms for making
your claim for the connected equipment. We will repair or replace the

valuation guide, or eBay, craigslist, or other source to establish that
amount. Our liability is limited to the amount, if any, stated in the
Technical Specifications. If there is no dollar amount for your model of the
Product, then there is no Connected Equipment Guarantee (CEG) coverage for
that Product.
Who Pays For Shipping?
We pay when we send items to you; you pay when you send items to us.
What Are Some Things This Warranty Does Not Cover?
- This Warranty does not cover any software that was damaged or needs to be replaced due to the failure of the Product or any data that is lost as a result of the failure or the restoration of data or records, or the reinstallation of software.
- This Warranty does not cover or apply to: misuse, modification, operation or storage outside environmental limits of the Product or the equipment connected to it, nor for damage while in transit or in storage, nor if there has been improper operation or maintenance, or use with items not designed or intended for use with the Product, such as laser printers, appliances, aquariums, medical or life support devices, etc.

damaging effects of momentary (less than 1ms) voltage spikes or impulses from
lightning or other power transients. If it can be shown that a voltage spike
lasting longer than 1ms has occurred, the occurrence will be deemed outside
the rated capabilities of the Product and the Limited Warranty is void.
