Typical Installation

Each line is individually surge protected to 50 Joules and
4000 Amps. Some surges contain sufficient energy that
although your system has been protected, the surge
circuit will be unable to provide additional protection.
When this happens, the red light for that line will turn on
and the module needs to be returned for service.
