Important Safety Instructions
Installation
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.
Connect Your Surge Suppressor to the AC Power Line: Plug the surge
suppressor’s power cord into a standard, 3-wire, grounded, 120V AC outlet.
Once plugged in, the unit will be powered.There is no power control button or
function for this surge suppressor.
CheckYour Surge Suppressor’s Diagnostic Indicator Lights: Check the diagnostic
LEDs prior to connecting your equipment.They will indicate various operating
conditions when the surge suppressor is plugged into a live 120V AC outlet.
AC POWER LED (Red): Indicates the power status (ON/OFF) of the unit.
“PROTECTED” LED (Green): Indicates the surge suppression components are
intact and providing complete protection against 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 more
information.
“GROUNDED” LED (Red): Indicates wall outlet is grounded and surge protection
can properly function. If this light DOES NOT illuminate and power is present,
consult a qualified electrician to examine your outlet’s wiring.
“STATUS” LEDs (Green): Indicate that AC power is present in that “Always On”
outlet.
IR LED (Blue): Indicates that the unit is receiving a signal from your remote.
Connect Your Equipment to the Surge Suppressor’s Appropriate AC Outlets:
Plug your equipment’s power cords into the surge suppressor’s AC 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 the circuit breaker
reset button to reset.

IMPORTANT CONNECTION NOTES
It is important to note that your surge suppressor has “Power Save” and
“Always On” outlets. “Power Save” outlets will have AC power cut to them
approximately 3 minutes after the GREEN “Power Save” technology detects that
total power consumption in the “Power Save” outlets has dropped 70%. “Power
Save” outlets are recommended for intermittent-use devices such asTVs,
receivers, monitors, printers, scanners, lamps, DVD players, gaming consoles,
amplifiers and speaker systems.
“Always On” outlets provide continuous power even after the “Power Save”
outlets are turned OFF. These outlets are recommended for critical devices such
as modems, routers, external drives, cordless phones, fax machines, DVRs
(TiVo®), cable and satellite boxes.
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. All models with phone line surge protection protect devices on 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,
grounded AC outlet for phone line surge protection to work.
Connect Your Equipment to the Surge Suppressor’s Network Jacks* (Optional
Installation): Connect a data cord from the wall jack or cable/DSL modem
directly to the surge suppressor’s network jack labeled “IN.” Connect a data
cord from the surge suppressor’s network jack labeled “OUT” directly to the
device to be protected (typically a computer’s network interface card).The surge
suppressor must always be the first item connected in line from the Ethernet
source (typically a wall jack).The surge suppressor must be plugged into a
3-wire grounded AC outlet for network line surge protection to work.
* 10/100 BaseT/TX,Token Ring. Not compatible with PoE (Power Over Ethernet) applications.
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 protected. Select models include a second set of coaxial jacks
for simultaneous connection and protection of devices on two separate lines
(cable, antenna or satellite).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 AC outlet for coaxial line surge protection to
work.

Operation
1Plug the AV10IRG into an appropriate AC
power source. By plugging in the unit, you
have powered it ON (there is no ON/OFF
function button to press). Power will now
be supplied to the 3 “Always On” outlets
and any components plugged into them can
be turned ON. Each “Always On” outlet’s
corresponding LED will illuminate.
2 Use any IR remote to turn ON the GREEN
“Power Save” outlets. Like a gate being
opened, AC power is now present in the 7
“Power Save” outlets.
IMPORTANT IR REMOTE NOTE: Any standard
IR remote will work with the AV10IRG.
There is absolutely no need for additional
programming of this remote as long as it is a
standard IR remote.
3Once the GREEN “Power Save” outlets have
been powered ON, any components plugged
into these outlets can be switched ON, using
your master remote, their individual remote
controls or manually.
4 After plugging the unit in and plugging in
devices to the “Power Save” outlets, you will
notice that the blue LED panel will display an
amperage reading, based on the connected
load, from the 7 “Power Save” outlets. DO
NOT OVERLOAD the surge suppressor with
more than 15 amps! If the LED panel or
any of the LEDs do not operate, visit www.
tripplite.com/support.
Note: If the surge suppressor is overloaded with more
than 15 amps, the circuit breaker will trip. Reduce the load
connected to the surge suppressor and press in the circuit
breaker reset button located on the side panel to reset the
system.
DO NOT EXCEED 15 AMPS.

Operation continued
5To activate the GREEN “Power Save”
function, simply turn OFF components
plugged into the “Power Save” outlets.The
surge suppressor’s technology will close the
gate that provides AC power to these outlets
approximately 3 minutes after it detects
a 70% drop in power consumption. Once
this gate has closed, power is no longer
present in the “Power Save” outlets and
phantom loads (wasted electricity) have been
eliminated.
NOTE:You can turn peripherals plugged into “Power
Save” outlets OFF at any time, however AC power will
continue to flow to these outlets until three minutes after
the GREEN technology detects a 70% drop in total power
consumption. Power is continuously provided to “Always
On” outlets until the AV10IRG is unplugged.
