IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- Read and keep these instructions for future reference, and heed all warnings listed.
- The surge protector is intended for indoor use only. Internal components are not sealed from the environment.
- To ensure complete equipment protection, connect all power and telephone lines from your equipment to a surge protection device. Phone, modem, or other peripheral lines provide potential paths that must be protected from- damaging power surges.
- Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers).
- Do not install the unit near water or where moisture is present.
- Clean with a dry cloth.
- Do not plug extension cords into the unit.
- Plug the unit into a 3-wire, 120-volt, grounded outlet only. If at any time, the Building Wiring Fault indicator lights, have a qualified electrician correct the service wiring.
- Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly a plug, convenience receptacles, and the point where it exits from the apparatus.
- Never install electrical, telephone, DSS, or CATV wiring during a lightning storm.
- The unit is designed to provide maximum protection on standard “dial-up” telephone service. Other communication networks which use modular jacks may not benefit from this protection.
- Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when the power- -supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
- To completely disconnect this equipment from the AC mains, disconnect the power supply cord plug from the AC receptacle.
CAUTION : To reduce the risk of electrical shock, inspect the premises carefully. Do not use the unit if proper equipment grounding cannot be verified. This device features 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.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
- Swivel Outlets – All 6 outlets provide protection against power surges. The WB-200-6RWT has 1200 Joules of surge suppression and 40 dB of noise filtration/clean power.
- Grounded Indicator – Provides visual indication that the outlet is properly grounded. If the ground indicator light is not illuminated refer to a licensed electrician to ensure the outlet is properly grounded.
- Protected Indicator – Provides visual indication that the unit is working and protecting the connected equipment. If the indicator light does not illuminate, the unit has done its job and protected the equipment. The outlets will still work but are no longer protecting against surges. Contact the manufacturer to request an equivalent replacement as per the Surge Protector Equipment Warranty Policy.
- Coaxial In & Out – Used to connect standard cable TV, DSS & Antenna input coaxial cable to the surge protector and then to the equipment.

Snap AV’s Surge Protector Equipment Warranty Policy
Snap AV Surge Protector Lifetime Product Warranty Snap AV warrants to the
purchaser of any standard Snap AV surge protector that the surge protector
shall be free of defects in design, material, or workmanship, and Snap AV will
repair or replace any defective unit. For product replacement see
“NOTIFICATION” below.
Lifetime Replacement Policy
Valid only in the United States and Canada. If your Snap AV surge protector

an equivalent replacement to the latest technology of that product category.

Warning Notice
WARRANTY LIMITATION FOR INTERNET PURCHASERS:
Snap AV products purchased outside of the Snap AV internet website do not
carry a valid Connected Equipment Protection Policy unless purchased from an
Authorized Snap AV Dealer.
CAUTION : Audio/Video, computer, and/or telephone system installations can be very complex systems, which consist of many interconnected components. Due to the nature of electricity and surges, a single protector may not be able to completely protect complex installations. In those cases, a systemic approach using multiple protectors must be employed. Systemic protection requires professional design. AC power, satellite cables, CATV cables, or telephone/network lines entering the system that do not pass through this surge protector will render the Snap AV connected equipment protection policy null and void. For additional information on how to protect your system, please contact Snap AV before connecting your equipment to the surge protector.
Snap AV Surge Protector Connected Equipment Protection Policy
Valid only in the United States and Canada. It is the policy of Snap AV that
it will, in its sole discretion, replace, pay to replace at fair market value,
or pay to repair, up to the dollar amount specified below, equipment that is
damaged by an AC power, cable, telephone, or lightning surge while connected
to a properly installed Snap AV surge protector. Snap AV must determine that
the surge protector shows signs of surge damage or is operating outside of
design specifications, relative to its surge protection capability, and under
all of the circumstances failed to protect your connected equipment.
THIS POLICY IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS BELOW:
-
PROOF OF PURCHASE REQUIRED:
Snap AV’s connected equipment policy extends to the original purchaser of the Snap AV product only and is non-transferable. Original purchase receipts must accompany any product return or claim for connected equipment damage. -
PROPER INSTALLATION:
Snap AV AC protectors must be directly plugged into a properly grounded 3-wire AC outlet. Extension cords, non-grounded two-prong adapters, or other non-Snap AV surge products must not be used. Building wiring and other connections to protected equipment must conform to applicable codes (NEC or CEC). No other ground wires or ground connections may be used. All wires (including, e.g., AC power lines, telephone lines, signal/data lines, coaxial cable,) leading into the protected equipment must first pass through a single Snap AV protector designed for the particular application. The protector and the equipment to be protected must be indoors in a dry location and in the same building. Snap AV installation instructions and diagrams must be followed. -
NOTIFICATION:
You must notify Snap AV within fourteen days of any event precipitating a request for product replacement or payment for connected equipment damage. A product incident report (PIR) must first be obtained from the Snap AV Customer Relations Department at www.snapav.com/support before returning the protector to Snap AV. At this time, you must notify Snap AV if you believe you have a claim for damaged connected equipment. Once you obtain an RA number, please mark the number on the bottom of the unit and pack it in a shipping carton/box with enough packing material to protect it during transit. The RA number must also be clearly marked on the outside of the carton. Ship the unit to Snap AV. Please note that you are responsible for any and all charges related to shipping the unit to Snap AV.
If connected equipment damage was indicated on your RA request, Snap AV will request the make and model of all connected equipment, a connection diagram of your system, as well as other requests based on the extent of the request for product placement or payment for connected equipment damage. All requests by Snap AV are to be completed and returned within 30 days. Be sure to note its configuration before disconnecting your equipment. -
DETERMINATION OF FAILURE:
Snap AV will evaluate the protector for surge damage. The Snap AV protector must show signs of surge damage or must be performing outside of design specifications relative to its surge protection capability. Opening the enclosure, tampering with, or modifying the unit in any way shall be grounds for an automatic denial of your request for payment. Snap AV, after evaluating all information provided, shall, in its sole discretion, determine whether or not your request is eligible for payment.
If the surge protector shows no signs of AC power or signal line surge damage and is working within design specifications, Snap AV will return the unit to you explaining the test results and notifying you of the rejection of your claim. Snap AV reserves the right to inspect the damaged connected equipment, parts, or circuit boards. Please note that you are responsible for any and all charges related to shipping the damaged equipment to Snap AV. Snap AV also reserves the right to inspect the customer’s facility. Damaged equipment deemed uneconomical to repair must remain available for inspection by Snap AV until the claim is finalized. -
5. REQUEST PAYMENTS:
Once Snap AV has determined that you are entitled to compensation, Snap AV will, at its election, pay you the present fair market value of the damaged equipment, or pay for the cost of the repair, or send you replacement equipment, or pay the equivalence of replacement equipment. -
