When properly installed, the base unit’s Connected Equipment Protection Policy
remains valid. All modules include a small rectangular bracket and mounting screws. This
bracket replaces the small triangular wall-mount bracket that comes with the models listed in
the CURRENT PRODUCTS above.

Installation Instructions

1. Mount the rectangular bracket to the back

of the AC base unit with the #8-32 x 5/16”
machine screws.
Note: The brass ground connector must be
used with the bracket in order to bond the
module ground to the base unit’s ground.

2. Mount the signal line module to the
bracket (screws provided with the module).

3. Optional – The assembled base unit and
module(s) may be wall mounted if desired.

4. Connect the wiring to the signal line
module as shown in the appropriate follow­ing section.

Model: MOD-AT4 (Secondary Protector)

The MOD-AT4 module is designed to pro-
tect standard phone lines and DSL (ADSL,
G.Lite) lines. Multiple input & output jacks
provide complete installation flexibility. The
following diagram shows how the
jacks/wires are interconnected. Different
cables/connections can be split or com­bined to accommodate a variety of installa­tions. For example:

• Incoming lines can be punched-down on
the 110 jack on the LINE side and four RJ11
(single-line) cords will connect from the
EQUIP side to the equipment.

• Two RJ14 (dual-line) cords connected to

the LINE side (upper 2 jacks) can be split to

four RJ11 (single-line) cords on the EQUIP

side.

• Four RJ11 (single-line) cords connected

to the LINE side can be combined into a

single RJ45 (8 wire) cord (upper jack) on the

EQUIP side.

Caution: Never install telephones

during a lightning storm.

Model: MOD-AT8110 (Secondary Protector)

All telephone input/output connections will
be labeled with LINE and EQUIP.

It is very important to connect

telephone signal lines properly.

There are no designated
input/output connections
on coaxial protection
modules. These are
bi-directional modules
in both transmission fre­quency and voltage.

input LINE and output EQUIP.

1. Cut the cable from the primary protector
to the correct length and punch down the

2. Use a coax patch cord to connect the
other SAT/CATV labeled modular “F” con­nector to the equipment to be protected.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for up to 2 addi­tional satellite or cable TV lines.

4.Connect the telephone line to the LINE
jack on the module.

5. Use a modular cord to connect the
EQUIP modular jack to the equipment to be
protected.

Model: MOD-SPKP (Isolated Loop Circuit Protector)

The MOD-UTP module is designed to pro­tect networked computer equipment. It will
protect one Ethernet 10/100 Base-T, Token
Ring, Arcnet, or AppleTalk network line.

1. Connect the network line from wall/floor
jack to the LINE jack on the module.

Model: MOD-CAT5 (Isolated Loop Circuit Protector)

The MOD-CAT5 module is designed for
high-speed data applications-networks
including CAT 5, fast Ethernet, ATM, and
other high-speed active transport devices.

2. Use a modular cord to connect the

EQUIP modular jack to the equipment to be

protected.

Please note: The protection circuitry

will not work if the signal lines are

reversed.

1. Connect the CAT 5 cable connected on
either side on the module to the wall/floor
jack and then to the equipment to be protect­ed. There is no “IN” or “OUT”. MOD-CAT5 is
bi-directional.

The MOD-SPKP module is designed to
protect outdoor speaker, keypad, control and
security wires (8 wires or 4 pairs).
Equipment lines that lead outside the build­ing are pathways for surges (sometimes
called backdoor surges) to enter the equip­ment. This is why the lines FROM the out­door equipment is connected to the LINE
side of the module and the EQUIP side of
the module is connected to the equipment.

1. Strip the ends of the individual wires
about 1/4 inch. The screw clamp terminals
will work with a range of wire sizes (up to
12AWG). Spade lugs are not required, but
may be used.

2. Connect the wires from the outdoor

equipment to terminals on the LINE side of
the module.

3. Connect the wires from the EQUIP side
of the module to the equipment.

4. If the cable has a shield or drain wire,
connect it to the modules bonding-strap
connection located on the upper right por­tion of the module. If more than one mod­ule is connected to the AC base unit, placing
this module at the top may allow for easier
connection of shield or drain wires.
