PREPARATION

DANGER: Electrical shock or burn hazard. Installation

of TVSS should be made by qualified personnel. Failure to
lockout electrical power during installation or maintenance

can result in fatal electrocution or severe burns.

These installation instructions apply specifically for the Flush Mount
installation of the TDX range of Surge Protectors. These instructions
are to be used in conjunction with the installation instructions for the
TDX product.

To simplify installation it is recommended to use a short (<6”) flexible
conduit to connect the TVSS nipple to the electrical panel. The TVSS
is then mechanically fixed by connecting the TVSS to the Flush Cover
Plate, which in turn is fixed to the drywall.

and/or nipple. However, care is required to ensure the TVSS is
positioned so the front is flush with the outer drywall.
