Model: HTPOWERBAR10
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION! DO NOT connect to an ungrounded outlet. DO NOT use with 2-wire extension cords or adapters. This surge suppressor is designed
for indoor use only. Install the surge suppressor away from heat-emitting appliances such as radiators or heat registers. Do not install where
excessive moisture is present. Do not plug extension cords into it. Never install electrical, telephone, network or coaxial wiring during a lightning
storm. Do not drill into any part of the housing or open the housing for any reason. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
All models feature an internal protection that will disconnect
the surge-protective component at the end of its useful life but
will maintain power to the load—now unprotected.
AC outlet for coaxial line surge protection to work. Make sure coax cables
connected to satellite dishes, antennas, etc. are also grounded.
Attach Power Cord Labels (Optional Installation): Coordinate surge
suppressor outlets with component power cords for easy identification. Surge
suppressor outlet labels are simply a suggested connection scheme; you can
connect any type of component to any of the surge suppressor’s outlets.
Installation
Mount Your Surge Suppressor (Optional Installation): If desired, mount
your surge suppressor on a wall or other sturdy, vertical surface. However, you
must mount the surge suppressor prior to connecting your equipment. Place a
sheet of paper over the surge suppressor’s mounting holes and mark their cen-
ters with a push pin. Next, place this template over the desired area and mark
with the push pins. Install screws (user supplied) 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.

"Current Usage" LED Meter: This multi-colored LED set allows you to
get the maximum use from your surge suppressor by showing you the total
amperage load of all of your connected components. A yellow LED serves
as a warning; a red LED indicates current usage is too high and action
should be taken to reduce the connected load.
THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO NORMAL WEAR OR TO DAMAGE RESULTING FROM ACCIDENT, MISUSE, ABUSE
OR NEGLECT. SELLER MAKES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THE WARRANTY EXPRESSLY SET FORTH
HEREIN. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ALL WAR-
RANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD SET FORTH
ABOVE; AND THIS WARRANTY EXPRESSLY EXCLUDES ALL INCIDENTALAND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. (Some states
do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, and some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental
or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This Warranty gives you specific legal
rights, and you may have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.)
"Input Voltage" LED Meter: This multi-colored LED set clearly shows
voltage variations of incoming utility power. A yellow LED serves as a
warning; red LEDs indicate voltages are outside of the nominal range
(either too low or too high). The surge suppressor can alert you to abnormal
voltage, but cannot regulate it. If persistent low or high voltage conditions
continually affect equipment performance, consider purchasing a Tripp Lite
UPS system or line conditioner.

Ultimate Lifetime Insurance Policy
(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. 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).
"Power" LED: This LED indicates AC power is available at the wall outlet.
"Switched" LED: This LED indicates that AC power is available at the
surge suppressor's outlets.
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 prop-
erly connected electronic equipment resulting from a cause other than an “AC power transient”. If user meets all of the above require-
ments, 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 separately protected, as
described below.
Connect Your Equipment to the Surge Suppressor’s AC Outlets: Plug your
equipment’s power cords (including 2-wire devices) into the surge suppressor’s
AC outlets. Every outlet is an Isolated Filter Bank. Isolated Filter Banks pro-
vide an extra level of filtering between components. For example, if you plug
a receiver into an Isolated Filter Bank outlet, it will not be affected by inter-
ference generated by a DVD player connected elsewhere on the surge suppres-
sor. Special widely-spaced outlets accommodate transformers without cover-
ing 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
Illuminated Master Switch with Integrated Circuit Breaker to reset the break-
ers and restore power.
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.
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 man-
ufacturer’s warranty and/or any extended warranties.
Connect Your Equipment to the Surge Suppressor’s Phone Jacks
(Optional Installation): 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. HTPOWERBAR10 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. The surge suppressor must always be the first
item connected in line from the wall jack. The surge suppressor must be
plugged into a 3-wire, groundedAC outlet for phone line surge protection to work.
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.
To receive service under this warranty, you must be the original purchaser/user of the product in question. You must obtain a Returned
Material Authorization (RMA) number from Tripp Lite. Products must be returned to Tripp Lite with transportation charges prepaid and
must be accompanied by a brief description of the problem encountered and proof of date and place of purchase.
Connect Your Equipment to the Surge Suppressor’s Coaxial Jacks
(Optional Installation): Connect a coaxial cable from the wall jack directly to
the surge suppressor’s “F” style coaxial jack labeled “IN.” Connect a coaxial
cable from the surge suppressor’s “F” style coaxial jack labeled “OUT” directly to the
device to be connected. Additional sets of coaxial jacks allow for simultaneous
connection and protection of additional devices on additional lines (cable,
antenna or satellite). Make sure that each device and its corresponding wall jack
are connected to corresponding “IN” and “OUT” jacks on the surge suppressor.
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
