Understanding the status light indicators on your Belkin
Surge Protector
The status light of your Belkin Surge Protector indicates its current operating status. This feature will help you determine if your surge protector is operating normally and that
there are no wiring issues with your outlet.
NOTE: The status light indicator may vary depending on the model of your Belkin Surge Protector.
The table below explains the status light indicator based on its label.
Not Grounded / Not Earthed Light
Over-Voltage ( + ) and Under-Voltage ( - )
Inrush Current / Over-Current
It is important to periodically inspect your surge protectors to ensure it's working properly. Failing to do so may lead to your equipment being damaged. Below are things to look
out for when installing or inspecting your surge protector:
1. If the protected indicator light is OFF, it may still function as a power tap but will no longer provide surge protection. This can lead to damage of your equipment once
your surge protector encounters another power surge.
2. Your surge protector should always be used with a properly grounded outlet.
3. Using an extension cord or plug adapter with your surge protector will void all warranties.

Description
The Protected light indicates that your surge protector is functioning correctly
and is providing protection to the devices you have connected to it.
This light should remain ON as long as the surge protector is plugged into an
outlet and is turned ON. If this light goes out at any time, it means that your
surge protector has served its purpose on protecting your equipment against
damaging voltage fluctuations, surges, or spikes. If this happens, your surge
protector should be replaced.
The Grounded or Earthed light indicates that your surge protector is connected
to a properly grounded outlet. If this light is not ON, you may have a ground-
wiring problem and should contact an electrician to inspect and properly ground
the outlet.
The Not Grounded or Not Earthed light indicates that your surge protector is
not connected to a properly grounded outlet. If this light is ON, you may have a
ground-wiring problem and should contact an electrician to inspect and properly
ground the outlet.
The Over-Voltage and Under-Voltage lights indicate that your surge protector
has detected an issue with the incoming voltage levels from your wall outlet.
Depending upon your region, your surge protector expects a voltage of 120V or
240V. Fluctuations in power are normal but if your surge protector detects a
voltage outside a safe level it will inform you via these lights.
Over-Voltage – This light will illuminate if the surge protector detects a voltage
spike over the expected incoming voltage level (120V or 240V depending on the
region).
Under-Voltage – This light will illuminate if the surge protector detects a voltage
dip (brownout) under the incoming voltage level (120V or 240V depending on
the region).
The Inrush Current / Over-Current light indicates that your surge protector has
detected a large electrical current being drawn by a device plugged into it. For
example, if you have an electrical appliance such as a space heater plugged
into your surge protector and it has an internal electrical short, it may draw more
current than what is safe when you turn it ON. The surge protector will detect
and warn you of this.
The light may appear as a simple warning or as a Wait To Reset message
depending upon your surge protector model.
