This Surge Protection Device (SPD) is a high performance device, designed to provide protection
for sensitive electronic loads connected to service panels, fire panels, or where the SPD is
directly connected to the electronic device. Maximum protection will only be achieved if the SPD
is properly installed.
Please read and follow the installation instructions carefully.

NOTICE: This SPD should be installed by a licensed contractor in accordance with the National
and Local Electrical Codes and the following instructions.

APPLICATION

Surge suppression for CATV applications using F Type connections.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Caution: Measure all voltages to insure applied voltage does not exceed the voltage rating of

the unit. Improper installation voids the warranty.
This unit must be connected in series with the equipment to be protected.

1. Check the cable signal before and after the installation of the DTK-iVSPA to insure proper hook-up
and no signal distortion.

2. Disconnect the cable from the TV and connect it to the INPUT of the DTK-iVSPA.

3. Connect an appropriately tipped 3’ patch cable from the OUPUT of the DTK-iVSPA to the equipment
to be protected to allow for reaction time of the SPD.

4. The coaxial cable shielding must be grounded at the point it enters the building using a coax
grounding block and grounding best practice.

Ground Resistance Rule: Max ground resistance is 25 ohms, 5 ohms or less is optimum.
This cannot be an assumed value and must be measured to assure proper grounding.

5. For mounting, use double sided tape (supplied), or two (2) #8 screws (not supplied).
