Warranty Period
NOTE 1: AC breaker panel protection is recommended when using data
protection. Data protection diverts or dumps excess energy from data lines into
the power grounding system. By strategically protecting branch breaker panels
with the TPX, surge events will once again be equalized and safely contained at
the breaker panel.
CAUTION—IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Never install surge suppression during a lightning storm.
This product is for INDOOR USE. INSTALL IN WEATHERPROOF ENCLOSURE
FOR OUTDOOR USE.
The below suppressors are intended for use as protectors for low voltage signal,
data and communication lines.
Read and understand all instructions prior to installation and operation.
Model # TPD-PHONE Series
INSTALLATION
1. The TPD-PHONE unit comes with a mounting bracket.
2. Connect your incoming telephone line to the Line side of the TLP Series unit.
3. For phone extensions that leave the building or structure or need to be
protected, connect exposed pathways to the line side of the unit. The load
side will then be the protected side.
GROUNDING
4. Connect an AWG # 14 ground wire from the unit's ground stud and secure it
to the nearest available AC system ground. The unit's ground lug must be
connected to the ground AC 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.
GROUNDING PERFORMANCE NOTE
5. Ground leads should be as short and as straight as possible. The shorter the
ground wire the lower the impedance. Minimize ground wire lead length to
the cm/inch. It is always best to test grounds to verify their existence before
relying on them to protect equipment.
NO INDEPENDENT GROUNDS*****
6. Surge devices must not be connected to ground points that are independent
of AC ground. The TPD-PHONE do not have to be grounded in order to
provide protection. For multiple building locations when phone lines are
distributed from one location to another consider using the TPD-GLSF series
to minimize ground loop/current loop issues. Please refer to appropriate
design drawings for additional grounding information or contact technical
support at 888-281-7856.
