Model IG1300
Type 2 Surge Protection Device
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Risk of Electric Shock
WARNING
• Thoroughly read instructions before installing unit.
• Installation and Service to be performed by a
qualified licensed electrician.
• Intended for indoor or outdoor use.
1. Determining location of the IG1300:
• Wires for SPD are located under wire channel cover. All AC power wiring must be routed through a knockout located
behind the wire channel cover.
• For convenience of wiring the telephone and coax modules may be reversed. See Figures 2 and 3 for configurations.
• Ensure conductor lengths are as short and straight as possible for best performance. Do not coil excess wire. The SPD
functions best if all bends in wires are rounded, ideally to a 4” radius. Hard 90 degree bend will reduce efficiency. Cut
all leads to the correct length. Do not coil excess leads.
• Install appropriate weatherproof fittings if the unit is to be mounted outside.
2. Connect the green wire from the SPD to the ground bus bar within the panel as shown in figure 1.
3. Connect the white wire from the SPD to the Neutral bus bar within the panel as shown in figure 1.
4. Connect the two black wires to a circuit breaker as shown in figure 1. For best performance from SPD the maximum
recommended circuit breaker size of 240V 20A 1 or 2 pole should be used.
5. Ensure all mounting and electrical connections are correct and securely fastened.
6. Once energized the green indicator LED will be ON and visible through the cover of the SPD. Do not energize until entire unit
is properly installed.
Telephone surge protection wiring:
1. Select the appropriate knockout to route and connect the telephone wires.
• DO NOT route the telephone or coax cables through the same knockout or conduit as the AC power lines.
2. Route and connect the telephone LINE connections to the “IN” terminal block of the telephone surge protector. (LINE
connections are the wires coming from the phone company).
3. Route and connect the home telephone lines to the OUT terminal block of the telephone surge protector. It is very
important to ensure that the wire pairs are in line with the IN terminal connections. See Figures 2 or 3.
4. Once all wiring is complete make sure all outgoing and incoming calls are working properly. If not, follow all steps above
to ensure all wiring is correct.
Coaxial cable surge protection wiring:
1. Select the appropriate knockout to route and connect the coax cables.
• DO NOT route the telephone or coax cables through the same knockout or conduit as the AC power lines.
2. Route the incoming coaxial cable line(s) through a knockout of the IG1300 unit. See figure 2 or 3.
3. Securely fasten the end of the coaxial cable to the coaxial cable protection module. (Polarity is not needed for the coax
protection).
4. Repeat these steps for the outgoing coaxial cable(s) to the television.
Maintenance:
•
AC Voltage SPD:
¡
Periodically check SPD to ensure green indicator LED is ON. If green LED is OFF protection has diminished and the
SPD should be replaced.
•
Telephone surge protector:
¡
If the protected telephones are working then the surge protection device is in tact and functioning properly.
¡
If the protected telephone lines are not working replace the telephone protection module immediately.
¡
Replacement telephone module: IG2T.
•
Coaxial cable protector:
¡
If the protected cable line is working then the surge protection device is in tact and functioning properly.
¡
If the protected cable line is not working replace the coaxial protection module immediately.
¡
Replacement coax module part number: IG1C.
• All wiring must comply with all state and local
electric codes including the National Electric
Code and/or Canadian Electric Code.
• Suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering
not more than 50,000 rms symmetrical amperes.
• This unit contains no serviceable parts.
• This product does not protect against direct
lightning strikes.
