(Optional Installation. Available on Select Models Only): Connect a coaxial
cable from the wall jack directly to the surge suppressor’s gold-plated “F” style
coaxial jack labeled “IN.” Connect a coaxial cable from the surge suppressor’s
gold-plated “F” style coaxial jack labeled “OUT” directly to the device to be
protected. Select models include a second set of coaxial jacks for simultaneous
connection and protection of devices on two separate lines (cable, antenna or
satellite). The surge suppressor must always be the first item connected in line
from the coaxial wall jack. The surge suppressor must be plugged into a 3-wire
grounded AC outlet for coaxial line surge protection to work.
Installation
Mount Your Surge Suppressor (Optional Installation. Available on Select
Models Only): If desired, mount your surge suppressor on a wall or other sturdy,
vertical surface. However, you must mount the surge suppressor prior to con-
necting your equipment. Place a sheet of paper over the surge suppressor’s
mounting holes and mark their centers with a push pin. Next, place this template
over the desired area and mark with the push pins. Install screws (user sup-
plied) into the marks until ¼ in. (0.5 cm.) of the screw heads are exposed.
Mount the surge suppressor over the screw heads and slide into place.

Data Recovery Warranty
(Available on Select Models Only. Valid in the U.S. and Canada Only)
Connect Your Equipment to the Surge Suppressor’s AC Outlets: Plug
your equipment’s power cords (including 2-wire devices) into the surge sup-
pressor’s AC outlets. Select models feature integrated safety covers which cover the
outlets when not in use. Other models feature special widely-spaced outlets to
accommodate transformers without covering other outlets. DO NOT plug in
extension cords. DO NOT OVERLOAD the surge suppressor’s outlets. The
surge suppressor can accommodate a total equipment load of up to 15 amps
(whether plugged into a single outlet or spread out over multiple outlets). If
the load on the surge suppressor exceeds 15 amps, the circuit breaker* will trip
and the outlets will stop providing power. If the circuit breaker trips, reduce the
load by unplugging some devices. Depress the circuit breaker to reset.
Tripp Lite warrants, subject to all terms and conditions found elsewhere in its Lifetime Limited Warranty and Ultimate Lifetime
Insurance Policy, to provide professional data recovery services to retrieve or restore lost data in the event of a computer hard
drive malfunction. This warranty does not guarantee the retrieval or restoration of lost data (neither in whole nor in part) but provides
for a reasonable “best effort” attempt at retrieval or restoration, as determined by Tripp Lite at its sole discretion.
Ultimate Lifetime Insurance Policy
(Available on Select Models Only. Valid in the U.S. and Canada Only)
Tripp Lite warrants, for the lifetime of the product, (at Tripp Lite's option) to repair or replace (on a pro rata basis) directly connected
equipment that is damaged due to power transients while properly connected to Tripp Lite products offering the Ultimate Lifetime
Insurance Policy. Reimbursement or restoration for data loss is not included (unless the Tripp Lite product is also covered by a
Data Recovery Warranty, available on select models only). Power transients include spikes and surges on the AC power, data or
telephone lines that the Tripp Lite products have been designed to protect against (as recognized by industry standards).
AC Power Line Transients: To claim damages, the Tripp Lite product must be plugged into a properly wired and grounded outlet.
No extension cords or other electrical connections may be used. The installation must comply with all applicable electrical and
safety codes set forth by the National Electrical Code (NEC). Except as provided above, this warranty does not cover any damage
to properly connected electronic equipment resulting from a cause other than an “AC power transient”. If user meets all of the
above requirements, Tripp Lite will repair or replace (at Tripp Lite’s option) equipment up to the specified value (See Ultimate
Lifetime Insurance Policy Limits). No coverage is allowed for damage entering from telephone or data lines, unless they are sep-
arately protected, as described below.
* Circuit breakers are integrated into the power switch on select models and offered as a separate
feature on other models.
Connect Your Equipment to the Surge Suppressor’s Phone Jacks
(Optional Installation. Available on Select Models Only): Connect a phone
cable from the wall jack directly to the surge suppressor’s RJ-style phone jack
labeled “IN.” Connect a phone cable from the surge suppressor’s RJ-style phone
jack labeled “OUT” directly to the device to be protected. Select models feature
two “OUT” jacks; either one or both of the jacks may be used, but protection
is for a device or devices sharing a single line only. All models with phone line
surge protection, except the TLP810NET, protect devices on a single line only.
TLP810NET models feature a single set of RJ-style phone jacks which protect
devices on two lines. The surge suppressor must always be the first item connect-
ed in line from the wall jack. The surge suppressor must be plugged into a 3-
wire, grounded AC outlet for phone line surge protection to work.
Telephone and Data Line Transients: Tripp Lite will repair or replace directly connected equipment that is damaged by transients
on telephone and/or data lines only when all such paths are protected by a Tripp Lite protection product(s) and the AC power (utility)
line is simultaneously protected by a Tripp Lite power protection device (UPS, surge suppressor or line conditioner) with Ultimate
Lifetime Insurance coverage. Additional telephone and/or data line connected devices downstream must have their own telephone
and/or dataline protectors.
Reimbursement dollar limits will be equal to that of the Tripp Lite power protection protector. Coverage is excluded where a suitable
environment for the protection device is not provided, including, but not limited to, lack of a proper safety ground. Telephone service
equipment must also include a properly installed and operating “primary protection” device at the telephone service entrance (such
devices are normally added during telephone line installation).
All above warranties are null and void if the Tripp Lite product has been improperly installed, tampered with or altered in any way,
or if the connected equipment was not used under normal operating conditions or in accordance with any labels or instructions.
All claims under this warranty must be submitted in writing to Tripp Lite within 30 days of the occurrence or the claim will not be
considered. This warranty does not include damage resulting from accident or misuse, and applies to the domestic (USA &
Canada) use of these products only.
Connect Your Equipment to the Surge Suppressor’s Network Jacks*
(Optional Installation. Available on Select Models Only): Connect a data
cord from the wall jack or cable/DSL modem directly to the surge suppressor’s
network jack labeled “IN.” Connect a data cord from the surge suppressor’s
network jack labeled “OUT” directly to the device to be protected (typically a
computer’s network interface card). The surge suppressor must always be the
first item connected in line from the Ethernet source (typically a wall jack).
The surge suppressor must be plugged into a 3-wire grounded AC outlet for
network line surge protection to work.
Tripp Lite reserves the right to determine whether the damage to the connected equipment is due to malfunction of the Tripp Lite
product by requesting the equipment in question be sent to Tripp Lite for examination. This policy is above and beyond, only to
the extent needed, of that provided by any coverage of connected equipment provided by other sources, including, but not limited
to, any manufacturer's warranty and/or any extended warranties.
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED ABOVE, TRIPP LITE MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Some states do not permit limitation or exclusion of
implied warranties; therefore, the aforesaid limitation(s) or exclusion(s) may not apply to purchaser.
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED ABOVE, IN NO EVENT WILL TRIPP LITE BE LIABLE FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY
OF SUCH DAMAGE. Specifically, Tripp Lite is not liable for any costs, such as lost profits or revenue, loss of equipment, loss of
use of equipment, loss of software, loss of data, costs of substitutes, claims by third parties or otherwise. Coverage also does not
apply to connected medical and industrial equipment.
