Installation - Tripp Lite MT-6PLUS Owner's Manual

Installation

Positioning Your Surge Suppressor: Place your monitor or notebook computer directly on the
surge suppressor.
Note: A mat is included with your MT-6PLUS to protect the surface finish of the surge suppressor. Please put it
on top of the surge suppressor prior to positioning your monitor or notebook computer.
Connect Your Surge Suppressor to Your AC Power Line: The Surge Suppressor's power cord
should only be connected to a standard 3-wire grounded 120V AC 60 Hz outlet.
Activate Your Surge Suppressor's Switches: The "MASTER" switch simultaneously controls
power to all outlets (except the outlet labeled "UNSWITCHED" or "ALWAYS ON"). The other switches
control power to their individual corresponding outlets on the rear panel. The "MASTER" switch
must be ON for the individual switches to work. The outlet labeled "COMPUTER" does not have an
individual front panel switch; it is controlled by the "MASTER" switch. The switch indicator lights will
illuminate when their corresponding switches are ON.
The outlet labeled "UNSWITCHED" or "ALWAYS ON" is not controlled by any of the front panel
switches, even the "MASTER" switch. It provides power (as long as it is available at the wall outlet)
for equipment you always need ON, including routers or modems. Outlets are labeled only for your
convenience. It is not necessary, for example, to connect a printer to an outlet labeled PRINTER.
Any type of equipment (as long as it does not exceed 15 amps) can be plugged into any of the
outlets.
Check Your Surge Suppressor's Diagnostic Indicator Lights: The diagnostic LEDs will indicate
various operating conditions when the surge suppressor is plugged into a live 120 VAC outlet and
the "MASTER" switch is ON.
"PROTECTED" or "SURGE PROTECTED" LED: Indicates the surge suppression components are
intact and providing complete protection against spikes and surges. If this LED does not
illuminate, some of the surge suppression components are not functioning and the unit should
be replaced. Visit www.tripplite.com/support for assistance.
"GROUNDED" LED (select models): Indicates wall outlet is grounded and surge protection can
function. If this light DOES NOT illuminate and power is present, consult a qualified electrician
to examine your outlet's wiring.
"LINE OK" LED: Indicates 120V AC power is present with no wiring faults detected.
Connect AC Equipment to Your Surge Suppressor: Connect the AC power cords of your
equipment, including any 2-wire devices. Do not plug extension cords into it. DO NOT OVERLOAD
the Surge Suppressor. Each outlet can handle up to 15 amps, but do not exceed a total load of
more than 15 amps for all outlets. If the circuit breaker trips, the outlets will cease to provide
power. Remove overload and depress circuit breaker to reset.
Connect Your Surge Suppressor to Your Telephone Line: Connect the phone cord from the wall
jack directly to the Surge Suppressor phone jack labeled "IN." Connect the phone cord (provided)
from the device to be protected directly to the phone jack labeled "OUT." The Surge Suppressor
must always be the first item connected in line from the telephone wall jack. The Surge Suppressor
must be plugged into a 3-wire grounded outlet to work.
USB Charging Ports (MT-6PLUS only): Two USB charger ports are capable of delivering up to 2.1
A total. This will provide enough power to charge the most demanding devices, including
smartphones, tablets and MP3 players.
Note: The charger ports are controlled by the master power switch of the unit.
