Ethernet Surge Protection
This section describes the steps required to install the Ethernet line protector. The
primary unit should be mounted as close as possible to where the Ethernet cable enters
the building/shelter, on a plate or bulkhead panel that is bonded to an earth-ground
system. It is recommended to pre-wire the LP device and test all connections before final
outdoor installation.
Do not install during adverse weather conditions when the threat of a
lightning strike is possible.

Connect the LP unit according to the direction it is labeled:
SURGE:

Do not switch Ethernet wires coming in and going out. For
–IG (isolated ground) units,
the connections are marked 2 X FEED and 2 X RTN (RETURN). The LP unit may be
mounted/grounded on a nearby plate or bulkhead panel that is bonded to an earth-
ground system.
