IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
CONSERVER CES INSTRUCTIONS!
• Contains switched receptacle(s). To reduce risk of shock , disconnect the
device from the power source before servicing any connected
equipment
Contient de(s) receptacle(s) commuté(s). Pour réduire les risques
d'électrocution, débranchez l'appareil de la source d'alimentation
avant l'entretien de tout équipement connecté
• Do not overload the wall outlet where this device is being connected. Do not
overload this device. Ensure the total load to this device does not exceed that
which is listed in the specifications section of this manual
Ne surchargez pas le réceptacle de mur ou le circuit qui fournit l'énergie à ce
appareil. Ne pas surcharger cette appareil. S'assurer que la charge totale à cet
appareil ne dépasse pas celle qui est répertoriée dans la section des
spécifictions de ce manuel
• Ensure this device is connected to a properly grounded AC power source.
Ensure the device is plugged into a source providing the required 120V. Do not
use a plug adapter that defeats the ground pin of the AC plug
Assurez-vous cet appareil est connecté à une source d'alimentation C/A avec
mise à la terre. Assurez-vous cet appareil est branché sur une source
d’alimentation fournissant les nécessaires 120V. Ne pas utiliser un adaptateur
qui contrecarre la broche de terre de la prise du cordon d’alimentation
• There are no user-serviceable components within this device. Removal of the
cover from this device may present a shock hazard, and void the warranty
Il n'ya pas de composants réparables par l'utilisateur au sein de cet appareil.
Retrait de la couverture de cet appareil peut présenter un danger
d'électrocution et annuler la garantie
DANGER HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE/DANGER HAUTE
TENSION
The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
L'éclair avec le symbole de flèche dans un triangle
équilatéral est destiné à alerter l'utilisateur de la présence
d'une tension dangereuse non isolée dans l'enceinte du
produit qui peut être d'une ampleur suffisante pour constituer
un risque de choc électrique pour les personnes.
CAUTION/ATTENTION
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.
Le point d'exclamation dans un triangle équilatéral est
destiné à alerter l'utilisateur de la présence d'importants
instructions d’opération et de maintenance (entretien) dans la
documentation accompagnant l'appareil.
• To be used indoors in a dry location only
Pour être utilisé en intérieur dans un endroit sec seulement
• Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug
Ne pas faire fonctionner avec un cordon ou une prise endommagée
• Clean only with dry cloth
Nettoyer avec un chiffon sec seulement
WARNING! Failure to read, understand and follow the following information can result in serious personal injury, damage to the
!
equipment or voiding of the warranty.
WARNING! This equipment is not intended to be used in conjunction with life support systems or life saving devices.
!
WARNING! Do not install a 3-to-2 prong adapter or defeat the grounding capability of the three-wire grounded-type AC plug.
!
WARNING! Do not place power cord in high traffic areas (e.g. hallways, doorways, etc) or where placement would create a trip hazard.
!
!
CAUTION - Do not install this device near high heat sources such as stoves, radiators, wall heaters or inside any enclosed space
without adequate ventilation.
CAUTION - Ungrounded power systems are inherently unstable and can produce excessively high line-to-ground voltages during
!
certain fault conditions. During these fault conditions any electrical equipment, including an SPD, may be subjected to voltages
which exceed their designed ratings. This information is being provided to the user so that an informed decision can be made before
installing any electrical equipment on an ungrounded power system.
For all models except PD-HW15-SP:
CAUTION: Do not install this device if there is not at least 10 meters (30 feet) or more of wire between the electrical outlet and the
!
electrical service panel.

The product meets the requirements of the following standards:
• UL 1283 and UL 1449, 3rd Ed.
• CSA C22.2 No.8-M1986, R2000
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Compliance Statement
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Industry Canada (IC) Compliance Statement
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

INTRODUCTION
Available in 15A or 20A models, and in rackmount, half-rack or hard-wired form factors (15A only),
Series Protection™ products provide instantaneous protection of AV systems against damaging
surges without contaminating system ground, while also providing automatic recovery after both
over- and under-voltage events.
All models are 100% MOV-free and utilize all non-degrading and no sacrificial components.
