Surge Protector Error Codes

What is E1? Where is the list of error codes?

According to the surge protector manual on the Oliver University section of this forum says E1 is reversed Hot and Neutral on the AC main.

I would consider that to be bad Ju-Ju.  Where are you? If you are at a campground, I would report this to the owner/host. And unplug the trailer. This is exactly what that unit is supposed to do.

I printed the chart below and placed it near my surge protector readout.  Hope it helps you!

I’ve dealt with people over the years who thought that because AC stands for alternating current, that it didn’t matter which way they hooked up the black (hot) and white (neutral) wires to the AC outlet.  Actually had one guy say “it’s alternating, what difference does it make?”.  Scary part is that he was a maintenance guy at the building I worked in.  Wouldn’t surprise me at all that some campgrounds didn’t have an actual electrician do their hookup wiring.

We have also had licensed electricians wire up a 30 amp RV outlet to 220 volts. Because, they said, it looked like a range or dryer outlet to them. Best to test...
