Physical Description

The underside of the housing incorporates four keyhole-style mounting slots for wall or under-desk installation. The mounting provisions correspond to the wall-mounting instructions provided in the product manual.

The attached six-foot power cord terminates in a molded NEMA 5-15P grounding plug. Cord markings identify the cable as Type SJT construction utilizing three 2.08 mm² conductors.

Installation

Disassembly

The enclosure is secured using six Phillips-head screws, permitting non-destructive disassembly without drilling or cutting the housing.

Operational Testing

The documented example operated normally during testing.

The red Protected/Protégé status indicator illuminated when power was applied, indicating that surge protection remained available.

The integrated RESET/OFF power switch also illuminated during operation. The protection-status indicator was noticeably brighter than the lamp within the power switch and remained highly visible under normal room lighting conditions.

Testing with a receptacle tester confirmed correct outlet wiring and proper grounding.


Documentation

The documented example was supplied with a multilingual instruction manual covering installation, operation, mounting, maintenance, troubleshooting, and specifications.

Notes

Amazon identified the documented example as the "Old Version" at the time of acquisition in 2026, indicating that the design had been superseded by a newer revision while remaining available for purchase.

Acquisition

The documented example was acquired through the Amazon Renewed program in 2026. Although sold as a renewed product, the unit appeared unused and was supplied with original documentation.

The product was shipped in recyclable Amazon paper packaging rather than a traditional corrugated box.
