Introduction

Voltage fluctuations swells, and spikes can harm sensitive household electronics. This AmazonBasics two-pack of surge-protector power strips adds an extra layer of protection against fires and damage. The surge-protector power strips, which have a 14-gauge system and a 200-Joule, three-line surge- suppression rating, properly transfer power and help keep plugged-in devices safe, especially during storms and power outages. With the surge-protector power strip, you can turn one outlet into six. Simply plug the power strip into a three-pronged, properly grounded AC outlet, and turn the rocker switch to “on.” A transformer outlet, one of the six surge-protected outlets, is designed to allow larger power adapters.

The unit’s convenient built-in power switch makes it simple to turn off many electronics at once—or to eliminate power momentarily for a complete, comprehensive shutdown. Because most gadgets require electricity even when they are turned off, the surge-protector power strip can be used to totally turn off electronics when they are not in use, saving energy. The six-outlet surge-protector power strip is ideal for home or office use, providing ease and protection for everyday electronics.

When the surge-protector power strip is turned on, a red “protected” LED indicator lights, indicating that it is protecting plugged-in devices. If the light goes out, the surge-protector power strip has reached the end of its useful life and should be replaced. The surge-protector power is indicated by a second light in the on/off switch. The six-outlet, surge-protector power strip has a short 2-foot power chord to eliminate tripping hazards and minimize clutter, in addition to its small, elegant form that easily glides into tight areas.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

POWER CONNECTIONS

Plug your surge protector into a grounded outlet only. Find a dry, indoor location that allows all power cords to reach the surge protector. All connected equipment should be plugged directly into your surge protector. Using an extension cord to connect the surge protector to the wall outlet will void all warranties.

1. Turn OFF power to the surge protector and to all equipment. Push the “OFF” side of the switch to turn it off. Plug the surge protector into a properly grounded AC outlet.
2. Plug in one of the pieces of equipment, and turn the surge protector ON. Turn the equipment ON. Check to see if the equipment is working correctly. If the equipment is working correctly, continue to plug in and turn on the rest of the equipment.

CAUTION

• Do not exceed ratings of 125 Volt AC, 15 Amps, 1875 Watts
• Do not install this device if there is not at least 10 meters (30 feet) or more of wire between the electrical outlet and the electrical service panel.
• This device features internal protection that will disconnect the surge protective component 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.

If there are any problems in getting the surge protector to work properly, stop and read the troubleshooting section of these instructions.

INDICATOR LIGHTS

• The “protected” light (RED) should be on when the power switch is turned on. If this light goes out at any time, it means that your surge protector has served its purpose and protected your equipment, so it should be replaced.
• The light in the ON/OFF power switch also powers up when the unit is turned on.

WALL MOUNTING

1. Create a mounting template by placing a sheet of paper over the back of the unit and punching holes in the paper where the mounting holes are on the back of the unit.
2. Temporarily secure the paper template (with painter’s tape or another method that will not harm paint or wall coverings) to the area where the unit is to be mounted.
3. To mount the surge protector, drill two 3/32in (2.4mm). pilot holes and insert two or four #6 sheet metal screws (depending on surge protector model), leaving screw heads protruding 1/8in (3mm). From the surface, place the surge protector over the screw heads and slide it into place.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The Power Protection Indicator Light is not lit, there is no AC power to any equipment, or the equipment does not turn on.

1. Make sure that the protector is plugged into a working AC outlet.
2. Check all AC power connections.
3. Make sure the surge protector and connected equipment are turned on.
4. Check to see if the circuit breaker on the surge protector needs to be reset (press ON). (On this model it is the ON/OFF switch).

Frequently Asked Questions

• What does a surge protector’s blinking red light mean?
  Switch lights are no exception. If your surge protector’s blinking/flickering light is red or orange, it’s most likely a power light that signals whether the surge protector has been turned on or off. The neon bulbs in that red or orange light will fade over time. They will blink and flicker as a result of this.

• Is the Amazon Basics surge protector a wise investment?
  The Amazonbasics surge protector is well worth the money. It is strongly suggested for those who do not require high-capacity surge protection.

• Is it better to have a red or green surge protector light?
  The yellow light should always be on since it signifies that power surge protection is in place. The green light on the surge protector shows that it is grounded. Although it is not essential, you should ground the surge protector and turn on the green light for optimal protection.

• What is the procedure for resetting my surge protector?
  Unplug and turn off all linked devices.
  Check every surface for a reset button (these can be small and hard to spot on many surge protectors).
  If the reset button is missing, simply switch off and on the surge protector.

• Is a surge protector of 200 joules sufficient?
  Energy absorption/dissipation: This joule rating indicates how much energy the surge protector can withstand before failing. A higher number suggests that you are better protected. Look for protection with a joule rating of at least 200 to 400. Look for a rating of 600 joules or more for enhanced protection.

• What are the signs that my surge protector isn’t working?
  Examine the “Protection Present” or “Protected” LED on the front of the surge protector’s casing to see if the internal surge protection components are working properly. Your surge protector is ready to go and ready to protect you when the next power surge happens if it is lighted green.

• How many joules do I require to safeguard my television?
  Belkin recommends its 1,411 joule model for most TVs and its 2,444 joule model for projection televisions. Similarly, ReviewSurgeProtector.com recommends a minimum of 1,500 joules for televisions.

• What is a good surge protector joule rating?
  You’ll need a surge protector with a rating of 1,000 to 2,000 joules to safeguard equipment like cell phones, basic computers, printers, routers, and copiers. This grade is also suitable for power tools and other construction equipment.

• How many joules does a surge protector for a computer need to have?
  With joule values under 1000, small gadgets (such as lamps, radios, and battery chargers) are fine. Surge protectors with joule values of 2500 or higher should be considered for computer or home theatre equipment.

• How long does a surge protector last?
  Surge protectors typically last three to five years, according to most estimates. If you have numerous brownouts or blackouts in your house, you may want to replace your surge protectors every two years.
