Is this "one and done" after a surge or can it be reset?

All the other answers I believe are the best answers you can get. I think All surge protectors are one and done after a major surge. I would check manufacturers specs.

To my knowledge there is no reset. The lights indicate whether it is still functioning or not. But I believe it takes a pretty massive surge to knock this one out. Once the lights go out though, I believe it is done. Other source I found said it can handle a variable number of varying strength surges, but once its done, its done.

The instruction say if both lights are out-replace the unit. I have noted twice so far one or two lights were out-so I checked the switch- yes it was off. Apparently on high loads of surge it will throw the switch off. Re set. This unit does instill a sense of security and is about the best in the market, I have found. Good luck. Old Timer

It is like most plug in surge protectors in the fact that it will only survive one major surge. When you "reset" a plug in surge protector after it has undergone a large surge it no longer offers protection. This device will survive several smaller surges.

It means the surge is working. There is a non-replaceable internal fuse that will blow if it gets hit with too big of a surge.

When a surge hit my house this unit cut power to all the connected DVDs, tv, a/v units, etc. You can reset the unit with the front button.

only if you have it on a power switch controlled by another device. AKA I Control mine for resets from a Micasa Vera 3 zave controller with its own modem. Since outlets cannot be controlled via internet after the modem is turned off you would have an issue. Please note in 2 years I have NOT had to execute a reset.

I only did it once when a power outage reset the machine. It took more than 8 hours.

No there is no reset. I guess you could just unplug it and that would reset it. I have 3, my first one about 3 years ago and I never have ever had to reset it. These things work well!

You should be able to reset it right away, if it doesn't reset grounding out(something shorting out) or breaker itself is bad

I had to purchase a new one when that happened to me. Power surge fried it.

Yes, this power strip does have a reset switch. This surge protecter was recommended by my IT guy.

I have "whole-house" surge protection so I wasn't concerned with the capability of this unit. However, since you asked, I went back to the instructions that came with the unit. Under "Protections" it states: "USB circuits are equipped with over-load and short-circuit protections." That's it.

not sure. I think at HAS A BUILT IN SURGE SUPPRESOR. HAD IT FOR 6 MOS. LOVE IT AND EASY TO USE.

Both outlets are simultaneously controlled by one time clock. You cannot set the outlets to function at separate times.

I had that problem once; but it was due to a brief loss of power to the device. I have never had it reset a specific time while continuously powered.

Mine reset themselves after the power came back on. One of them took five minutes but it reset.

I agree. I see no evidence of this feature in the instructions. But there may be a capacitor in it that holds the settings even though it may be necessary to reset the current time when the power comes back on. Perhaps that is what they mean?

If there is a power-outage, Yes. If you trip a circuit breaker/blow a fuse, no. If the plug's circuit breaker has been tripped then you'll need to reset the plug manually, like any other circuit breaker.

Yes. Soon as you hit start/stop it will reset. (I have not let it run to stop).. Still have to hit Start again. Hitting clear allows setting a new time.
