CAUTION—IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
● Never install communication wiring during a lightning storm.
● The below suppressors are intended for use as Primary Protectors.
● Read and understand all instructions prior to installation and operation.
INSTALLATION: Below units are not "in" "out" sensitive
TK-CT2-190TLP4-RJ-T1/E1 - TELEPHONE MODULE
1. The TK-CT2-190TLP4-RJ-T1/E1 comes with a Velcro backing. Simply remove the adhesive tape
from the back of the unit and press firmly to attach the unit to the low voltage cabinet's back plate.
2. Connect your incoming (unprotected) telephone cable to the Line (exposed) side of the TLP Series
unit. Install an RJ45 or RJ14 to the existing incoming telephone line if necessary connector is not
already attached.
3. Connect the Load (protected) side of the TLP Series unit using the patch cable provided in the box the
TLP unit came in.
4. Connect a 14 AWG wire (minimum size conductor recommended) from the TLP unit's ground lug
and secure it to an electrical ground reference. When mounting in a low voltage cabinet, verify that
the available ground lug or bus is connected to the electrical system ground. When installing at the
exterior telephone service demarcation, mount the unit in a weather proof enclosure and ground the
unit to the main electrical ground.
TK-CT2-CABLE - CABLE TV INTERFACE MODULE
1. The TK-CT2-CABLE coaxial unit has an integrated mounting bracket. This unit is not "in" "out"
sensitive, so either side of the unit can be connected to the incoming/exposed cable company feed.
2.
Indoor Mounting: For indoor mounting installations secure the unit to the back-plate of the low
voltage cabinet using the holes in the mounting feet. Position the unit so that the threaded cable
connectors will enable ease of installation for both "cable in" and "cable out" feeds. Connect a 14
AWG copper wire from the unit's ground lug to an electrical ground reference. Verify that the
available ground lug or bus is connected to the electrical ground system.
3.
Outdoor Mounting: For outdoor mounting we suggest installing the unit inside a water-tight
enclosure which is attached to the fascia of the home within four feet of the main electrical service
entrance as per the NEC. Ground the unit using the integrated ground compression lug. Attach a
14AWG minimum copper conductor from the unit's ground lug to the main electrical service
grounding electrode.
4. Connect the coaxial line side (unprotected Cable Company feed) to the threaded "Cable In" side of
the TK-CT2-CABLE unit. Connect the coaxial equipment side (protected) to the other threaded
side of the TK-CT2-CABLE unit.
TK-CT2-SAT2 - SATELLITE TV INTERFACE MODULE
1. Refer to # 2 and #3 in the above CABLE TV section for indoor and outdoor mounting instructions.
2. The TK-CT2-SAT2 coaxial unit has an integrated mounting bracket.
3. This unit is equipped with two integrated compression ground lugs. With the threaded coaxial cable
connectors facing down, locate the upper-left integrated compression ground lug. This lug is for
grounding the satellite arm to the TK-CT2-SAT2 unit. With the threaded coaxial cable connectors
facing down, locate the lower-right integrated compression ground lug. This lug is for grounding
the TK-CT2-SAT2 unit to the main electrical service grounding electrode. Both ground conductors
should be 14AWG copper wire. Care should be taken to insure that both grounding conductors are
tight and secure and run as straight as possible from point-to-point with no kinks or sharp bends.
4. Connect the coaxial line #1 & line #2 side (unprotected satellite feed) to the threaded "Cable In"
sides of the TK-CT2-SAT2 unit. Connect your equipment lines #1 & #2 side (protected) to the
threaded "Cable Out" sides of the TK-CT2-SAT2 unit.

INSTALLATION CONTINUED
GROUNDING
The unit's ground lugs must be connected to the ground reference used by the system being protected.
In some environments, this ground point may be the ground bar in the AC power panel or low voltage
equipment electrical ground. Ground leads should not exceed 12 inches. Avoid sharp 90° bends in the
ground leads.
To properly protect any Residential system it is strongly recommended that ALL electrical panels, tele-
phone, data, and cable lines be protected and share the same single point ground reference.
PERFORMANCE NOTE
The grounding conductor must be as short as possible. Minimize length to the cm/inch using a mini-
mum wire size of 14 AWG.
NO INDEPENDENT GROUNDS
Surge devices must not be connected to ground points that are independent of AC ground.
MOUNTING INFORMATION
The coaxial units are manufactured with a mounting bracket. The TLP unit is manufactured with a
Velcro adhesive backing. Both mounting bracket and Velcro backing enable each unit to be mounted
securely to a flat surface.
A ground lug is provided with each unit and can accommodate up to #10 AWG ground wire. For the
TK-CT2-190TLP4-RJ-T1/E1 unit, simply connect your ground wire to the ground lug already mounted
on the top side of the unit. For the TK-CT2-CABLE and TK-CT2-SAT2 units using the integrated
ground compression lug.
NOTE:
To provide adequate protection to all electrical and electronic equipment in the home, it is
strongly recommended that all electrical panels, telephone, cable TV and data lines be protected with
Total Protection Solutions surge protection devices.
