Proper installation is required for maximum system performance. Read the following information to assure a quality installation. These instructions do not replace national or local electrical codes.
Environment – For use indoors, in an ambient temperature of -40ºC to +50ºC, with a relative humidity 0% to 95% (non-condensing).
Maximum Current Capability – The total current draw for all loads that a model may continuously handle is given in the table located in the middle section of this manual. Overloading the unit can permanently damage the device.

Supplemental Enclosures - All units provided with exposed terminal blocks must be installed inside an enclosure and located so as to prevent accidental contact with terminals during maintenance or servicing.
Summary Alarm Contacts (IE models only) – Summary alarm Form C (1 N.O. and 1 .C.) relay contacts rated 125VAC, 5A max. are provided for remote indication of protection status. Connections may be made to these terminals on the unit using 18 AWG conductors.
Grounding - Input and output ground terminals (if provided) must be connected for proper operation. This grounding is not only required for safety, but also for equipment performance. Incorrect grounding can reduce or impede the operation of the unit.
Line Cord Units – Plug unit into wall outlet and turn on power switch (if provided). For best results, plug equipment to be protected directly into the unit (do not use extension cords or power strips). Keep data cables as far away from power cords as possible.
O PERATI O N
These products are designed for years of trouble-free operation and require little or no operator intervention after installation. Should the unit not appear to be functioning properly and/or the indicator LED (if provided) is extinguished, check all connections, and assure the voltage is correct and that the total current draw on the unit from all loads does not exceed the rated current. If the unit still is not functioning properly, call Emerson Network Power Surge Protection at (800) 288-6169.
