1. Controller power must be OFF when installing surge
protection on the two-wire path.
2. Select the location for the DUAL-S surge arrestor.
3. Locate the two-wire path from the controller (typically red
and blue wires). The wire path must be cut to insert the
surge arrestor, unless you are replacing an existing arrestor.
4. Identify a pair of red/blue wires from the DUAL-S and
connect one red wire to one red from one side of the
two-wire path. Twist the red wires together and seal the
connection with the waterproof connectors supplied. Repeat
for the blue wire.
5. Connect the second pair of red/blue wires from the DUAL-S
to the other side of the two-wire path. Seal the connections
with the waterproof connectors supplied.
6. Attach grounding device to the copper wire from DUAL-S
using manufacturer's installation recommendations. Wire to
ground hardware must be run at right angles to the two-wire
path, a minimum of 8 feet/2.5 m away from the wire path.
The ground hardware should not be in the same valve box
as the surge suppressor.
