Want to replace IsobarUltra because they do not shut off power once MOV's have failed. Will this do that or tell me surge protection has failed?

I have has this unit for about 3 years...protecting my computers, etc. I has shut down during a surge. No equipment has been damaged as a result of having this APC unit in place.

Hi Jennifer,I don't know yet as mine hasn't failed since installed. If I get a chance I'll look and let you know.

Mine is on as well. I expect Steakman is correct and this just means surge protection is active.

I have the LN46B750 and experience an occaisonal blackout for a second when my HVAC kicks on. I also am not sure if this could possibly be my 4 year old D*TV dvr. Would like to hear what you have running at the time when this happens, if it coincides with a power surge, etc. It's driving me crazy.

Section 11 states that the product is protected against operational failure resulting from a power surge while properly connected to a surge protector. You may be required to provide your surge protector for examination. However...section 9, "WHAT IS NOT COVERED", states that improper electrical/power supply (as in, not using a surge protector), will not be covered. I'm sending you a short version of what I already sent to Amazon feedback, just in case. As I said, good luck!!

Surge protector are designed to stop the flow of current to your electrical device. This product is no different. It would either have to be reset or replaced depending on how heavy of a surge it received.

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

APC technical support says "Our devices are made with a "fail open" surge protection method, meaning that a surge too large comes through with too big of a rush to compromise the unit, a switch inside will remain open, which will prevent further current to come through to the machine. Essentially, the unit will sacrifice itself to protect your equipment." and "Because of this "fail safe" we do have a Equipment protection policy on these units, meaning that if for whatever reason your equipment was damaged by result of a surge when using our product, you can send the unit in. After testing the unit, if it is discovered our unit is at fault, we will pay for the market value of the damaged equipment, up to the value listed under "Equipment protection policy" on the product page." Look for the "SurgeArrest" brand, and the equipment protection policy. APC also has this fail safe on all their (recent) UPS units. The model P11VNT3, aka "APC Performance SurgeArrest 11 Outlet with Phone (Splitter), Coax and Ethernet Protection, 120V" has the SurgeArrest fail safe, all power is blocked by a thermal fuse after the unit is hit by a too-large surge.

No it should not you may have bigger problems check to see if you have power or your surge protector is tripped

This is also a fail safe if you have too many volts going to the unit. Are you using a stock adapter or a different one you purchased?

It may be time to replace your back-up, look into CyberPower. They offer many different sizes to fit your needs. I put these at each computer and TV's/DVR also, as they protect from brown-out or complete outage.

Yes, I would assume that "protection" is given to all devices plugged into the strip reguardless of whether the strip is on or off (given that the MP AV800 itself is plugged in). Also an audible signal/tone is emitted when the unit has detected an interuption of power and/or surge in current. For further info, I'd contact Monster Cable @ monstercable.com or 1-877-800-8989 (customer service/warranty hotline). Hope this helps.....j711bird

I haven't had a problem with the Power Outage Detector. I have had experience however with the customer service department for a different Beams product and they were excellent. I would encourage you to call them at 877-298-9082 and explain the problem. It would seem that it's too early for the rechargeable batteries to have failed (which I don't believe would be covered) therefore your product may have a workmanship defect and still be under warranty since you only purchased it 5 months ago. I'm assuming from your post that the MB220 doesn't trigger any of the lights to turn on. When it's unplugged from the electrical outlet - your lights should all automatically turn on unless you programmed it for different zones. At the very least, I believe the customer service department will walk you through troubleshooting to narrow down what the problem is - Good luck!

There is nothing you can do. It's a warning that lets you know it's been fried from a power surge. Mine did the same thing after 8 years. So I bought another one. How old is you surge protector? Monster does have an excellent warranty.

Dear Rock, i believe someone in New Zealand had a similiar problem . i live in the States and have no such problem . we bought ours after Hurricane Sandy and it has worked perfectly through 2 brown outs lasting several hours . why not call RCA customer service and ask the question ? mine has worked flawlessly and are no longer worring about surges or black outs with our frig! hope this helps Knight Chevalier Knights templars

Actually, that's a good question! In other words, once a surge is encountered does, #1: the device re-function as an electrical line connection?, and, #2: does it re-function as a surge protector? I honestly can't for sure answer either one of those questions. I usually use these devices, in-line with other surge protection, and once in a while use them in the field, for my laptop computers as the primary surge protection. So, insofar as the field work is concerned, I really don't know if I've ever encountered a surge to test the efficiency of the protection, ie re-function of the device?!

Carlos - no idea, but I have two bricked RVS4000 units. If you haven't bought em yet, I'd look at another option.
