TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:

Use only in dry locations and only indoors.
DO NOT plug into another relocatable power tap.
DO NOT “daisy chain” surge protectors.
DO NOT use any aquarium equipment.
DO NOT use if properly grounded outlets are not available.
DO NOT install this device if there is less than 10 meters (30 feet) of wire between the electrical outlet and the electrical service panel.
DO NOT use for medical or life support equipment. This device features internal protection that will disconnect the surge protective component at the end of its useful life, but it will maintain unprotected power to the load.
WARNING 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 RackBar where excessive moisture or heat is present.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Read the following before installing or operating the RackBar Surge:

ONLY use the supplied hardware to attach the mounting brackets.
The RackBar 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 RackBar.
NEVER install a RackBar, or associated wiring or equipment, during a lightning storm.
Ensure that the power cord, plug, and socket are in good condition.
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.
CAUTION! 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.
CAUTION! To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock, this RackBar should be installed in a temperature and humidity-controlled indoor area free of conductive contaminants. Do not install this RackBar where excessive moisture or heat.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Receptacle evaluation
- Ensure that the plug type of your RackBar unit (e.g. NEMA 5-15P) matches the wall receptacle type that you are using.
- RackBar 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.
Plug the RackBar into the wall receptacle.
Attach equipment
- Before attaching equipment, it is important to calculate the total load that you will be placing on the RackBar. It is extremely important not to exceed the RackBar’s maximum current load (as outlined in the Specifications section).
- To determine your total load, simply add up the amperage of your devices and ensure that it does not exceed the unit’s capacity.
Verify protection
- Verify that both the Grounded and Protected LEDs are illuminated. This means that the RackBar is properly grounded and is protecting the equipment from surges.
