How to install Tripp Lite by Eaton 12-Outlet Power Strip with Surge Protection

Installing your SS361220 is straightforward and quick, designed to minimize setup time so you can focus on work, study, or entertainment. Follow these practical steps to ensure optimal performance and protection for your devices:

• Choose a safe, dry location with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with water, heat sources, or excessive dust. Place the power strip on a stable surface or mount it according to your space constraints.
• Unroll or route the 15 ft cord so it can reach a suitable powered wall outlet without tension or pinching. Ensure the cord is not a tripping hazard and is kept away from moving equipment or foot traffic.
• Plug the 15 ft cord into a properly rated wall outlet that matches the strip’s electrical requirements. Do not daisy-chain this power strip with other power strips or extension cords to prevent overloads.
• Distribute your devices across the 12 outlets, prioritizing high-draw equipment (such as printers, servers, or gaming consoles) on the 2-20A receptacles when possible to manage electrical load effectively.
• Power on and verify surge protection activity. If the unit includes an indicator lamp or switch, ensure it shows the strip is active and that surge protection is engaged before leaving connected devices unattended.
