To determine if your GenerLink unit is equipped with surge protection, check the
product label on the collar of the device for the model number MA23S or MA24-S.
What are S u r g e s ?
A surge is a sudden, unpredictable, powerful increase in voltage that can damage or
destroy household appliances and electronic equipment. Surge damage can happen
all at once in cases of high voltage surges or over a period of time when lower
voltage surges are experienced consistently.
How to Protect Your Home and Appliances from Voltage Surges.
Surges can occur on power, cable TV, telephone and data lines. They are caused by
many sources: lightning, the switching of utility equipment on the electric grid,
electrical accidents, heavy motor or heavy loads from a nearby industry or locally, by
microwave ovens, laser printers and copiers, air conditioner compressor motors and
even lights being turned on and off.
GenerLink with Surge Protection:
- Protects household equipment including appliances and hard-wired systems
not protected by power strips. Plus, it provides enhanced protection for
household electronics.
- Provides protection beyond typical point-of-use power strips and plug-ins.
- Produces an audible alarm when the devices requires service.
- Protects against spikes up to 100,000 amps on the electric system.
- Provides a lifetime white goods warranty of $1,000/appliance and/or
$10,000/house.
- Is meter-based and will provide the first line of defense at your home’s
service entrance and for your wired appliances from voltage surges. (Refer
to the Terms and Conditions for service instructions)
To protect sensitive plugged-in appliances and equipment, you should combine
GenerLink (with surge protection) with outlet-strip/ plug-in surge protectors.
Purchase high quality plug-in strips to protect sensitive equipment and appliances
such as your computer and audio/visual equipment. Always consult your specific
appliance owner’s manual before installing plug-in surge strips.
