Ditek DTK-VSPA Installation guide

  • Hello! I'm here to assist you with information regarding the DITEK DTK-VSPA Surge Protection Device. I've carefully reviewed the installation instructions, and I understand its design for sensitive electronic loads, especially in CATV applications. The document highlights crucial steps such as series connection, proper grounding, and the use of a 3' patch cable. Feel free to ask me any questions you have!
  • What kind of applications is this device designed for?
    What is the required ground resistance?
    How should the device be connected?

INSTALLATION
This Surge Protection Device (SPD) is a high performance device, designed to provide protection
for sensitive electronic loads connected to service panels, fire panels, or where the SPD is
directly connected to the electronic device. Maximum protection will only be achieved if the SPD
is properly installed.
Please read and follow the installation instructions carefully.
NOTICE: This SPD should be installed by a licensed contractor in accordance with the National
and Local Electrical Codes and the following instructions.
APPLICATION
Surge suppression for:
CATV applications using F Type connections.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Caution: Measure all voltages to insure applied voltage does not exceed the voltage rating of
the unit. Improper installation voids the warranty.
This unit must be connected in series with the equipment to be protected.
1. Connect the incoming feed from the “Field” to the INPUT side of the DTK-VSPA.
2. Connect an appropriately tipped 3’ patch cable from the DTK-VSPA to the equipment to be
protected to allow for reaction time of the SPD.
3. Always have one common ground per system to eliminate the possibility of a differential in
ground potentials.
Make sure the ground wire is as short as possible.
Ground Resistance Rule: Max ground resistance is 25 ohms, 5 ohms or less is optimum.
This cannot be an assumed value and must be measured to assure proper grounding.
4. For mounting, this device can be supported by the cables..
