Power Line Surge Protection
The AC outlet should be equipped with a power surge protection device
or UPS. Systems using such devices are more resistant to damage from
power line surges than unprotected systems. Power line surges often
occur during normal operations and during violent thunderstorms.
Installation of a surge protector meeting the specifications described in
the following paragraph may prevent or minimize the damage resulting
from power line surges.
The isolation transformer/surge protector should be: 15 amp
self-contained unit that plugs into a standard grounded 117V AC wall
outlet. The wall outlet must be designed to accept a 3-prong plug (two
parallel blades and a ground pin). The protector should be fast and
capable of protecting transients greater than 200 volts.
Lightning Protection
The system provides secondary protection per UL 1459 specifications.
Primary protection circuitry is the installer's responsibility and should be
installed per the National Electric Code (NEC).
KSU AC Power Plug
Before plugging the KSU power cord into the AC source (grounded,
3-prong AC outlet required):
1. Verify the power switch of the BKSU is off.
2. Plug the KSU power cord into the AC outlet and turn the power
switch on.
