INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
IG 1300 Series
CAUTION !
Electricity is dangerous if safety rules
are not followed. Never work on equipment with the electricity turned 'ON'. Be
absolutely certain the power is turned
‘OFF' on the circuit or device you are
installing or repairing. If you are not
able to determine that power is removed
have it checked by a licensed electrician. Be sure you read carefully and
understand all of these installation steps
and have the necessary tools and supplies before you begin to install the protector. Check and follow your local elec-
trical codes, they are for your protection.
When installing outdoors, care must be taken to comply with all local and national electric codes regarding outdoor or wet locations. Do not touch electric devices when you
are wet or you are standing on a wet surface. Use a circuit tester or AC voltmeter to be
sure the electricity is "OFF' before you touch wires or devices.
Install Telephone protection per Article 800 of the National Electrical Code on the equipment side of the primary telephone Listed equipment.
NOTE:
ELECTRICAL GROUND IS REQUIRED FOR THIS UNIT TO
FUNCTION PROPERLY AND SAFELY!

Page 2
STEP 3
Select a location for the Surge Protection Device (SPD) which will allow con-
venient connection to the panel while keeping the lead wires as short as possible. Use an AC voltmeter or circuit tester across two breaker outputs to confirm that there is 240 volts between them. If the voltage is 0, select a different
breaker or pair of breakers and retest for the presence of 240 volts. A two-pole
or two single-pole breakers of no larger than 20 amp capacity should be used.
STEP 4
Select a mounting position for the protector at the electric panel. If you have
a panel that is not similar to the diagram in Figure 2, call Intermatic for assistance at the numbers listed at the end of these instructions between the hours
of 8:00 am and 4:00 pm central time Monday through Friday.
Note
: Operation of the IG1300 Series will be optimized by keeping the wire
lead lengths as short and balanced as possible. It is better to use two breakers near the bottom of the electrical panel with short wire leads than to use
two breakers at the top of the panel with long wire leads.
STEP 5
Prepare the protector for installation. Open the cover of the NEMA 3R cabi-
net and remove the screws from holes A and B using a Torx T-20 screwdriver
or bit.
STEP 6
Lift the telephone and coaxial protection module assembly out of the cab-
inet and place it to one side for future use. Straighten the four 14 AWG wires
and let them hang.

STEP 7
Position the protector on the
wall next to the electrical panel
and mark the position of the the
cabinet mounting holes on the
wall. Care should be exercised
to position the knockout in the
protector cabinet in line with a
knockout in the electrical panel.
At least 2” should be allowed
between the protector and the
electrical panel to allow the
cover to open. Predrill the holes
and set one screw in the hole
for the top mounting screw.
STEP 8
Remove the appropriate
knockout from the protector
cabinet. Install a 2-1/2” nipple,
length of seal-tite or conduit
between the protector and electrical cabinets. Hang the protector cabinet on
the screw using the exterior top keyhole of the cabinet. Insert the remaining
two mounting screws through the holes in the protector cabinet and tighten all
of the cabinet mounting screws. Tighten the connectors on the nipple, seal-tite
or conduit between the cabinets.
STEP 9
Make sure that the electric power is OFF in the electrical panel. Remove
the front cover or trim panel from the panel. Select and remove the desired
knockout through which the protector
wiring will enter the panel.
STEP 10
Twist the four 14 AWG wires around
each other at a rate of 1-1/2 turns per
foot of length. Wrap a piece of tape on
the ends of the wires and feed them
through the connector and into the
electrical panel.
STEP 1
1
The IG1300 Series is shipped ready
for installation on the right-hand side
or top positions of the electrical panel.
If the protection panel is mounted on
the left side of the electrical panel,
refer to the Special Instructions at
the end of this section to reverse the
wire channel cover and telephone and
coaxial modules.

Figure 2
Page 4
Replace the telephone and coaxial protection module assembly that was
removed in Step 6. Replace the Torx screws in holes A and B that were
removed in Step 5. Tighten the screws firmly to ensure a good ground bond.
STEP 12
Select and remove the appropriate knockout to use with telephone and
coaxial cables. Use a knockout that is accessible after the wire channel cover
has been reinstalled. DO NOT route telephone or coaxial cables through the
same knockout or conduit with AC power wires. If conduit is used, it is important to keep telephone and cable conductors in a different conduit than AC
power conductors.
STEP 13
Identify and confirm wire pairs for each telephone line. Make sure that
enough wire is available to reach each terminal block on the telephone protection modules. Cut each wire pair and strip the end to a length of 5/16”. Route
the wires through the knockout and insert the stripped end of each wire into
the terminal blocks as shown in Figure 3. Be sure to route the wires from the
outside phone connection to the “IN” terminal and the wires to the house
phones to the “OUT” terminal. Secure each wire by tightening the terminal
block screws. NOTE: Exercise caution to ensure that each wire of a telephone
pair is in line to prevent polarity reversal.
STEP 14
Route the coaxial cable through the knockout. If insufficient space is avail-
able in the knockout, the second knockout may be used. Connect the cable to
the protection module making sure that the connectors are tightened snugly.
Do not overtighten the connectors.
STEP 15
Connect the AC Power protection to the electrical panel. Measure each wire
lead and cut it to proper length. Each wire should be as short as possible to
provide optimum operation. Do Not coil excess lead.
NOTE: The protector functions best if all bends in the wire leads are rounded,
ideally to a 4” radius. Hard 90obends reduce efficiency.
Connect the Green Ground wire to the panel ground bus first. Connect the
White Neutral wire to the Neutral bus if the electrical panel has one. Many
panels have a common Neutral and Ground bus which will result in both the
Green and White wires connecting to the same bus.
STEP 16
Connect the two black wires to two separate 15 or 20 amp single-pole cir-
cuit breakers.
STEP 17
Check to be sure that all wires are securely fastened and all screws are
tight. Confirm that the protector is wired to the correct breakers by measuring
the voltage between the two black leads. A voltage of 220 to 240 VAC means
that the IG1300 is connected across both sides of the electrical service.
STEP 18
Replace the cover or trim panel on the electrical cabinet. Return all breakers
to their original positions and check the IG1300 for two green indicators.

STEP 19
Close the cover on the IG1300.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Use the following steps when installation requires placing the IG1300 on the
left side of the electrical panel.
STEP A
Loosen the screw in hole C that secures the coaxial cable protection
module(s) to the wire channel cover. Remove the coaxial modules and set
them to one side for future use. Remove screw C completely.
STEP B
Invert the wire channel cover with the telephone line protection modules still
attached to it and place it into
the IG1300 cabinet as shown
in Figure 4. Install a Torx
screw through the hole in the
foot of the wire channel cover
and into hole E and tighten it
snugly to the back of the cabinet.
STEP C
Insert a Torx screw through
the elongated hole on the
coaxial protection module(s)
and into hole D as shown in
Figure 4. Do not tighten the
screw.
STEP D
Place the remaining Torx
screw through the opening on
the tab of the coaxial protection module(s) and into hole F.
Tighten the Torx screws firmly
to ensure a good ground
bond.
NOTE:
If the telephone protection Modules are left in an inverted position as shown in
figure 4, be sure to observe the “IN” and “OUT” markings.
STEP E
Return to Step 12.
