1.1 Read this TPS-series user’s guide carefully before installation and

operation.

1.2 The TPS-series TVSS, which is mentioned in this user’s guide, is designed

for single phase electricity system only.

1.3 To achieve the maximum performance, the TVSS must be connected to

a grounded electrical outlet to work properly. Connecting to non- grounded

electrical outlet, the TVSS will not be able to properly protect your

electrical equipments.

1.4 The TPS-series TVSS is for indoor use only. Install the T VSS in dry place with

good ventilation, low humidity, no chemical particles and no inflammable

substances. Avoid installing the TVSS near radio transmission station, heat

dissipation equipments or directly to sunlight.

INTRODUCTION

Natural phenomena such as thunderstorm, lightning and the START-STOP

of the high power motorized equipment such as air conditioner, washing

machine, printer, all are the common causes of transient voltage or surge. It can

be considered a transient with voltage levels greater than 2,000 V and current

levels greater than 100 A within 1 - 10 microseconds. The effects of surge cause

electronic equipment and telecommunication equipment damage, operate

incorrectly, shorten their equipment lives f or lose data.

LEONICS TPS-series Power Line and Signal Surge Protector is a transient

voltage surge suppressor (T VSS) or surge protector which reduces voltage of

medium transient surge, filters noise in building cables and protects transient

surge which induced into data cables and signal cables such as telephone cable,

ADSL cable, LAN cable, RS-232 cable, RS-485 cable and etc. It is applicable for

location in Category A and B for indoor point outlets or specific electrical

equipment.

Feature-6 surge protection outlets and 2 surge protection channels for

communication or network system

- LED indicators show operating status

-Accordance with ANSI/IEEE C62.41-1991 and ANSI/IEEE

C62.42-2000

-Compact, light weight and easy to install

The TVSS provides maximum surge protection.

The TVSS can not provide maximum surge protection

because of your electrical outlet is not properly

grounded or the line-neutral is reversed.

-The TVSS has sacrificed to protect your electrical

equipment.

- Line-neutral reversal or poor ground connection.

The TVSS has sacrificed to protect your electrical

equipment.

INSTALLATION

4.1 Installation

4.1.1 Turn off all electrical equipment.

4.1.2 Connect signal cables (such as telephone lines, LAN cable, antenna

cable or coaxial cable) into Signal Surge Protector sockets at the side

of TPS-series TVSS as below

IN : The socket to connect input signal cable.

OUT : The socket to connect signal cable which are protected

to telephone, facsimile machine, modem, ADSL/ISDN/

HDSL/DSL devices or CATV devices.

4.1.3 Plug the power cord from your electrical equipments into the

TVSS output outlets.

4.1.4 Plug the TVSS into the grounded electrical outlet only.

Note: To achieve the maximum performance, the TVSS must be connected

to a grounded electrical outlet to work properly. Connecting to

non-grounded electrical outlet, the TVSS will not be able to properly

protect your electrical equipments.

4.2 Turn on and turn off TPS-Series

4.2.1 Turn on ON/OFF switch. PROTECTED indicator will be lit.

4.2.2 Turn on all connected eletrical equipment.
