5. Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of the Legrand On-Q Surge-Protected Duplex Power Kit:
5.1. Preparation
- Disconnect Power: Turn off power at the main circuit breaker or fuse box before starting any electrical work. Verify power is off using a voltage tester.
- Select Location: Choose a suitable location within your structured wiring enclosure or wall for the power kit.
- Remove Knockouts: If installing in an enclosure, use a utility knife and hammer to carefully remove the desired electrical knockouts for the power kit.
5.2. Wiring and Mounting
- Install Electrical Box: Insert the provided old-work electrical box into the prepared opening. Use the provided screws to affix the box securely to the enclosure or wall stud.
- Route Wiring: Route the AC cabling (hot, neutral, ground) into the electrical box.
- Terminate AC Cabling: Connect the AC wires to the surge-protected duplex receptacle. Ensure proper polarity (hot to brass screw, neutral to silver screw, ground to green screw). Tighten all terminal screws firmly.
- Mount Receptacle: Carefully push the wired receptacle into the electrical box. Screw the receptacle into the box using the provided mounting screws.
- Install Wall Plate: Attach the wall plate over the receptacle and secure it with the provided screws.

6. Operation
Once installed and power is restored, the Legrand On-Q Surge-Protected Duplex Power Kit operates automatically to provide power and surge protection.
6.1. Surge Protection Indicator
Observe the LED indicator on the outlet for its status:
- Steady GREEN: Indicates that the surge protection is active and functioning correctly.
- Flashing RED: Indicates that the surge protection has been compromised or is no longer providing protection. The outlet will still provide power, but connected devices are no longer protected from surges. Replacement of the unit is recommended.
- OFF: Indicates no power is supplied to the unit. Check the circuit breaker or wiring connections.
6.2. Audible Alarm
The audible alarm will sound if the surge protection is compromised (flashing RED LED). Use the ON/OFF switch located on the outlet to silence or activate the alarm as needed.
7. Maintenance
The Legrand On-Q Surge-Protected Duplex Power Kit requires minimal maintenance. Regular checks are recommended to ensure continued protection.
- Visual Inspection: Periodically inspect the outlet and wiring for any signs of damage, wear, or loose connections.
- LED Indicator Check: Regularly check the LED indicator to ensure it is steady green, indicating active surge protection. If it is flashing red, the surge protection has been expended, and the unit should be replaced.
- Cleaning: Clean the surface of the outlet and wall plate with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Legrand On-Q Surge-Protected Duplex Power Kit, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power to outlet (LED OFF) | Circuit breaker tripped; Loose wiring connection; No power to circuit. | Check and reset circuit breaker. Verify all wiring connections are secure. Ensure power is supplied to the circuit. |
| LED is flashing RED (Audible alarm may sound) | Surge protection has been expended due to a power surge. | The surge protection components are no longer functional. The outlet will still provide power, but it no longer protects against surges. Replace the entire unit to restore surge protection. |
| Audible alarm sounds continuously | Surge protection is compromised. | Check the LED indicator. If flashing RED, the unit needs replacement. You can temporarily silence the alarm using the ON/OFF switch. |
| Outlet does not fit flush in box | Obstruction in box; Improperly seated wires. | Ensure wires are neatly folded into the box. Check for any debris or obstructions. Ensure mounting ears are properly aligned. |
