LP 4200 Surge Protector
Why install an LP 4200
Lightning strikes within 1-2 miles of your installation can create power surges or spikes,
which may damage your unprotected Invisible Fence
®
Brand pet containment system.
The Surge Protector is designed to protect your Invisible Fence
®
Brand pet containment
system from surges or spikes that can reach it via your AC power connection and/or your
buried Boundary Wire.
Install the Surge Protector
Plan the installation as directed by the Operating Guide:
- Use only in dry, protected areas.
- ICT 801 & 802 Systems, install the LP-4200.
STOP
: CHECK THE OUTLET YOU PLAN TO
USE BEFORE INSTALLING ANY INVISIBLE
FENCE
®
BRAND EQUIPMENT TO ENSURE
THE OUTLET IS WORKING!!
The LP-4200 Surge Protector must be plugged into a grounded (3-prong) outlet that is
within 5 feet of the Fence Transmitter. ALWAYS use a grounded (3-prong) outlet to ensure
maximum protection. Cutting or removing the 3rd prong from the Surge Protector or using
a 2-prong to 3-prong outlet converter will render the protector ineffective against surges
or spikes.
If possible, DO NOT use an AC circuit protected with a GFCI (ground fault circuit
interrupter). Both the Surge Protector and the Fence Transmitter will function properly,
but in are cases, nearby lightning strikes may cause the GFCI to trip. Without power, your
dog may be able to escape. You will have to reset the GFCI to restore power to the system.
CAUTION:
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect power to the receptacle (outlet) before
installing or removing the Surge Protector. When removing receptacle cover screw, cover
may fall across plug pins or receptacle may become dislodged.
• Use only with a duplex receptacle having a center screw.
• Secure unit in place with screw included with Surge Protector.
Step 1: Turn the power OFF to the outlet that the Surge Protector and Fence Transmitter
will be plugged into.
