POSSIBLE CAUSES AND TEST PROCEDURE
• Check that the unit is plugged in and that there is power to the
outlet.
• Check the AC-6+'s circuit breaker located by the power cord
and reset if necessary.
• First, re-check the trigger lines to ensure a positive connection.
then check that the trigger is going to the TRIGGER IN jack on
the AC-6+.
• If all connections are properly made and the AC-6+ fails to
respond, it is most likely that the trigger signal has too low a
voltage (below 12V). Check the trigger source to be sure that
the signal is 12V DC 200mA.
• Check that the Power Button is initiated. The Triggered outlets
will not function if the Power button is not in the "ON" position.
•This indicates that the wall outlet is not properly grounded or
possibly another type of line problem. Without a proper
ground, your AC-6+ will not provide power protection.
1. STOP YOUR INSTALLATION. Check the AC connection
and make sure that the AC-6+ is plugged in properly. If the
GROUND OK light still fails to illuminate, have the AC
outlet in the house checked by an electrician to diagnose
the problem.
2. DO NOT operate your AC-6+ without a proper ground.
• This indicates that the wall outlet has a line problem such as
polarity inversion. This is common, especially in older homes.
DO NOT operate the AC-6+ with a line problem. Call your
electrician to have the line repaired.
