“GROUND OK” LED:
indicates the presence of a properly-grounded wall outlet. Note: A properly-grounded wall
outlet is required for the Power Center to adequately protect connected equipment against surge damage. If this LED is
not illuminated, make sure the Power Center is plugged in, the Power Switch is turned on and power is present. If the
LED is still not illuminated, contact a qualified electrician to check for proper grounding.
“SURGE OK” LED:
indicates the surge-suppression components are intact and providing full protection. If this LED
is not illuminated, make sure the Power Center is plugged in, the Power Switch is turned on and power is present. If the
LED is still not illuminated, then some of the surge suppression components may not be functioning properly. Contact
Tripp Lite Customer Support for assistance. You may still use the Power Center; however, connected equipment will be
protected from surges at a lesser level than normal.
Mounting Flange:
allows for secure mounting (with user-supplied screws) on any suitable surface, including on a wall
behind a flat panel TV screen. The user must determine the fitness of the mounting surface and the user-supplied screws
prior to installation.
Not Shown
Audible Alarm:
immediately alerts you to damaged internal protection circuitry. If this occurs, contact Tripp Lite
Customer Support.

Installation
STEP 1) Place or Mount Your Power Center:
Place the Power Center on a shelf or use mounting flanges to securely mount
the Power Center (with user-supplied screws) on any suitable surface, including on a wall behind a flat panel TV screen. The
user must determine the fitness of the mounting surface and the user-supplied screws prior to installation. Note: If possible,
mount the Power Center so that its LEDs are visible.
STEP 2) Connect Your Power Center to the AC Power Line:
Attach the power cord to the Power Center, then plug it in
to a standard 3-wire grounded 120V AC 60Hz wall outlet.
STEP 3) Turn Your Power Center ON:
Press the Power Center's power switch until it illuminates, indicating power is
supplied at the Power Center's outlets.
STEP 4) Check Your Power Center's Diagnostic Indicator Lights:
Check the LEDs prior to connecting your equipment.
They will indicate various operating conditions when the Power Center is plugged into a live 120V AC outlet and the Power
Center's power switch is on.
STEP 5) Connect Your Equipment to the Power Center's AC Outlets:
Plug your flat panel TV and accessory (if used)
into the appropriately marked Power Center outlets. DO NOT plug in extension cords. DO NOT OVERLOAD the Power
Center's outlets. The Power Center can accommodate a total equipment load of up to 12 amps. If the load on the Power
Center exceeds 12 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 restore power.
OPTIONAL INSTALLATION
Connect a Component to the Power Center for Remote AC/DC Control:
The Power Center allows remote on/off control
when connected to an external component's “AC/DC Out” jack with user-supplied cable. The Power Center's Power Switch
must be set to “OFF” for the remote control function to work. The connected external component's remote control output
voltage should be between 3V and 30V AC or DC.
• Plug one end of a user-supplied 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) miniplug cable into the Remote AC/DC Control Jack on the
Power Center.
• Plug the other end of a user-supplied 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) miniplug cable into the remote “DC OUT” jack of the
component that will be used for remote control.
