PROTECTION IN THE INDUSTRY!
Adhering to these instructions guarantees maximum performance of this Protection
device.
Introduction
This document explains how to install the ZoneDefender PRO Series of AC Panel
Surge Protective Devices.
Installation Instructions
Mounting
The suppressor should be mounted as close to the panel and wire connections as possible. The shortest and most direct wire connections will ensure best performance. Use
the four mounting holes located on the tabs to secure unit to a solid fl at surface. The
type of hardware used to mount the Zone Defender PRO will depend on the mounting
structure and are not included with the unit.
AC Power Connections
Connection Diagrams
Proper wiring techniques associated with the National Electrical Codes should be
followed. The use of a 30 AMP minimum circuit breaker is required in the event the
connection wires short or the Zone Defender PRO needs servicing.
The ¾” nipple on the Zone Defender PRO can be inserted directly into an existing
panel knockout to ease the wire connections between the panel and the Zone Defender
PRO. If the mounting location prevents this type of installation proper conduit fi ttings
should be used in order to protect the connecting wires.
When making the connections, cut each conductor as short as possible. A void large
loops and sharp bends in the wire. Bind all connecting wires tightly together throughout
the wire run from the Zone Defender PRO to the panel. Connect the BLACK wires
to the phase conductors, connect the WHITE wire to the neutral bus and connect the
GREEN wire to the ground bus.
INCORRECT INSTALLATION WILL IMPAIR THE EFFECTIVENESS
OF AC PANEL SURGE PROTECTORS. Particularly important is the length and
routing of the connecting leads.
Note: Circuit breaker (30A - 60A) is MANDATORY.

Status Indicator
NOTE: ALL WIRES MUST BE CONNECTED AND POWER
APPLIED BEFORE THE LED WILL ILLUMINATE.
The ZoneDefender PRO Series of suppressors has comprehensive, solid state, continu-
ous visual status monitoring present in each unit. The GREEN indicator light will go
out in the event the suppressor capability is exceeded or if there is an internal safety
component failure. If the light goes out, call the factory for replacement instructions.
