TPD TPD-24SLP8-RJ, TPD-24SLP8, TPD-24SLP6, TPD-24SLP4, TPD-24SLP2 Users Installation Operation & Maintenance Manual

CAUTION—IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

● Never install surge suppression during a lightning storm.

● This product is for INDOOR USE ONLY. INSTALL IN
WEATHERPROOF ENCLUSURE FOR OUTDOOR USE.

● The below suppressors are intended for use as protectors for low voltage signal,
data and communication lines.

● Read and understand all instructions prior to installation and operation.

Model # TPD-SLP Series

Protect 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 wires; 10, 15, 24, 48, 120 & 190 volt
max; 400mA Max Amperage

INSTALLATION

1. Unit is In /Out Sensitive. Check unit for label for proper installation.

2. Connect the Load Side of the TPD-SLP to the equipment that is being

protected.

3. Connect the Line Side of the TPD-SLP which is the exposed side

where the surge is expected to come from.

GROUNDING

4. Connect an AWG # 14 ground wire from the unit's ground stud and

secure it to the nearest available system ground. The unit’s ground lug
must be
connected to the ground AC reference used by the system being
protected. In some environments, this ground point may be the ground
bar in the AC power panel or low voltage equipment electrical ground.

GROUNDING PERFORMANCE NOTE

5. Ground leads should be as short and as straight as possible. The

shorter the ground wire the lower the impedance. Minimize ground wire
lead length to the cm/inch. It is always best to test grounds to verify their
existence before relying on them to protect equipment.

NO INDEPENDENT GROUNDS *****

6. Surge devices must not be connected to ground points that are

independent of AC ground. For outdoor remote locations the TPD-SLP
series does not have to be grounded in order to provide protection, but
should be grounded for
optimum performance when possible.

WARRANTY STATEMENT

During the applicable warranty period, any Transient Protection
Design™ device which fails due to defect in materials, workmanship, or
any transient event, including lightning, shall be repaired or replaced at
TPD’s discretion without charge. In the event of a return the device must
be shipped FOB TPD place of business within the applicable warranty
period. The applicable warranty period for the TPD surge protective
device is outlined below in the Warranty Period section. The warranty
period for any repaired devices or replacement devices will be only the
remaining portions of the original limited warranty.

A Return Material Authorization (RMA) number must be obtained from
the Company’s Customer Service department before returning any
Products.

The Company shall have no liability under this warranty for problems or
defects directly or indirectly caused by misuse of the Product,
alteration of the Product (including removal of any warning labels),
accidents, improper installation, application, operation or improper repair
of the Product.

THIS WARRANTY REPRESENTS THE ENTIRE WARRANTY OF THE
COMPANY. ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANT ABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE HEREBY
DISCLAIMED.

The liability of the Company, at its sole option, under this warranty is

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Note: If devices are received damaged, notify the shipping
company immediately. Retain containers and packing materials
for inspection.

NOTE 1: AC breaker panel protection is recommended when using data protection. Data protection diverts or dumps excess energy from
data lines into the power grounding system. The protected device/equipment should also have AC protection because it is still vulnerable
to transients on or from the power lines. Omitting AC protection poses a continued threat of failure and lockup at the communication
interface. By strategically protecting branch breaker panels with the TTLP, surge events will once again be equalized and safely contained
at the breaker panel.
