CAUTION—IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Never install communication wiring during a lightning storm.
This product is for INDOOR USE ONLY.
The below suppressors are intended for use as protectors for low voltage signal, data and communica-
tion lines.
Read and understand all instructions prior to installation and operation.

INSTALLATION

TK-CT2-DB9, TK-CT2-CAT6, TK-CT2-CAT6-POE & TK-CT2-AmpPro
1. Connect the Load (protected) Side of the TK-CT2 Series product to your communications equipment.
2. Connect your incoming (unprotected) communication cable to the Line (exposed) Side of the TK-CT2
Series product.
3. Connect an AWG # 14 ground wire from the unit's ground stud and secure it to the nearest available
chassis ground.

GROUNDING

The unit's ground lug 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.

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

A ground lug is provided with each unit and can accommodate up to #10 AWG ground wire.

For installation in high moisture environments, add suffix "-C" to model number when
ordering. This will add a conformal coating to the SPD circuit board to help protect against
corrosion over time.
NOTE:
The protected device/equipment should also have AC protection because it is still vulnerable
to transients on the power lines. Omitting AC protection poses a continued threat of failures at the com-
munication interface.
