Protecting Telephone and Data Lines
To protect telephone or data lines, you can use a Best Power SpikeFree surge suppressor. SpikeFree
MAX modules connect to the TVSS (Transient Voltage Surge Suppression) ground terminal on the
back of the Fortress. This provides a common ground for the power lines and your data or
telephone lines. This connection is the key to the best surge protection from your SpikeFree MAX
modules. If you would like to order a SpikeFree, please call the nearest Best Power office for
information on the modules that are available for your equipment.
Note: If your SpikeFree modules are already connected to a SpikeFree Base, you do not need to
connect them to the Fortress TVSS ground. The Base unit provides the grounding the
modules need.
To connect the SpikeFree module to your Fortress, follow these steps:
1. Packed with your SpikeFree module, you will find a kit with the following parts:
• a metal clip • a wire with a ring connector on each end
• two Phillips screws • a star washer
• a nut • a brass bushing
You will not be using the larger Phillips screw and the brass
bushing.
2. Figure 1 shows how you will connect the smaller screw and the wire,
washer, and nut to the metal clip. Start by sliding the smaller Phillips
screw into the clip, and let the bottom of the screw fall through the hole
in the clip. The screw head should rest inside the clip as shown in
Figure 1.
