Need help?Do you have a question about the Tripp Lite Protect It! TLP310USBC and is the answer not in the manual?
The Tripp Lite Protect It!® 3-Outlet Surge Protector with USB Charging is a versatile power solution designed to safeguard electronic devices from power transients while offering convenient USB charging capabilities. This manual covers two models: the TLP310USBC, which features a desk clamp for easy mounting, and the TLP310USBS, which comes with mounting brackets for more permanent installations.
The primary function of this device is to provide surge protection for up to three AC-powered electronic devices. It shields connected equipment from damaging power spikes and surges that can occur on AC power lines. In addition to AC outlets, both models integrate USB charging ports, allowing users to conveniently power and charge USB-powered devices such as smartphones, tablets, and other portable electronics without requiring separate adapters. The surge protector is designed for indoor use only and should not be connected to ungrounded outlets, used with 2-wire extension cords or adapters, or installed in areas with excessive moisture or near heat-emitting appliances.
While specific electrical ratings like joule rating, clamping voltage, and USB output current are not explicitly detailed in the provided excerpts, the manual emphasizes the device's role as a surge protector and USB charger. It features three AC outlets and USB charging ports. The TLP310USBC model is designed for desk clamp mounting, while the TLP310USBS model utilizes mounting brackets. For the TLP310USBC, installation involves attaching the surge protector to the clamp using two pan head self-tapping screws (m3-24%, 12 mm). The TLP310USBS model offers two mounting options: In-Desk Mounting and Under/On Desk Mounting. For In-Desk Mounting (using Bag A hardware), the unit requires two mounting brackets and four flat head machine screws (6#32T, 1/4"). The diagram illustrates a cutout of 7 1/4" (184 mm) by 2 1/4" (56 mm) for this installation. For Under/On Desk Mounting (using Bag B hardware), the unit also requires two mounting brackets, four flat head machine screws (6#32T, 1/4"), and four truss head self-tapping screws (M4-16T, 14 mm). The manual specifies that the warranties for all Tripp Lite surge suppressors are null and void if they have been connected to the output of any UPS system, and vice versa for Tripp Lite UPS Systems if a surge suppressor has been connected to their output receptacles.
The Tripp Lite surge protector offers flexible usage scenarios due to its two distinct mounting options. The TLP310USBC model, with its desk clamp, provides a portable and easily adjustable power solution. This is ideal for users who need to frequently relocate their power access or prefer a non-permanent installation that can be moved between different workstations or desks. The clamp-mount stand allows for secure attachment to various desk thicknesses, keeping outlets and USB ports within easy reach. The TLP310USBS model, with its mounting brackets, caters to more permanent installations, either integrated into a desk (In-Desk Mounting) or mounted underneath/on the desk surface (Under/On Desk Mounting). This ensures a clean, organized workspace by keeping cables and the surge protector neatly tucked away or flush with the desk surface. The In-Desk Mounting option creates a seamless look, integrating the power strip directly into the desk, while the Under/On Desk Mounting provides discreet power access without occupying valuable desk space. Both models provide simultaneous protection for connected AC devices and charging capabilities for USB devices, streamlining power management for multiple electronics. The design aims to prevent clutter and improve accessibility to power outlets and USB charging ports.
The manual explicitly states that there are no user-serviceable parts inside the surge protector. Users are cautioned not to drill into any part of the housing or open it for any reason.
