INSTALLATION

This Surge Protective Device (SPD) is a high performance device, designed to provide protection

for sensitive electronic loads where the SPD is directly connected to the elctronic device.

Maximum protection will only be achieved if the SPD is properly installed and grounded.

Please read and follow all 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 analog, digital, and high speed data circuits all terminating at the same point of

use using RJ45 or BNC interfaces. This device is designed for *rack mount, *back plane mount or on a

*hinged wall mount bracket. This design allows you to mix and match up to 12 ports per face plate.

SURGE MODULE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Versa Module Series

1. Lay faceplate face down on a flat surface with the ground lug on your left hand side.

2. Select the desired module and its desired positon number (1-12)

3. Remove hardware kit and surge module from plastic bag.

4. Place the silver spacer onto the threaded standoff.

5. Place split (lock) washer on top of silver standoff.

6. Place surge module pc board over threaded standoff with the 4 solder points at the top right hand

corner of the surge module pc board. Make sure the connectors and threaded standoff line up with

their perspective holes and seat properly.

7. Place 2nd split (lock) washer over threaded standoff.

8. Place the hex-nut over the threaded standoff. using a hex socket, tork the nut

to 10 Inch Pounds Maximum.

9. Turn the DTK-VM12RM over.

10.Use the circuit identification label supplied with your hardware kit and apply to the front face of your

DTK-VM12RM under that surge module’s corresponding port number.

11. Repeat these steps for each additional surge module or to replace a module that has self-sacrificed.

DTK-VMBNC Module Installation:

Follow the same procedure as above, adding the black flat washers and retaining nuts to the BNC

connectors where they protrude through the DTK-VM12RM face plate. Fasten the nuts until snug.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS:

Caution

: Measure all voltages to insure applied voltage does not exceed the voltage rating of the

module. Improper installation voids the warranty.

This unit must be connected in series with the field wiring and the equipment to be protected.

1. Connect a #10 AWG minimum ground wire to the ground lug on back of face plate and connect

this to an appropriate ground point.

2. Mount this device using your preferred method of install*.

3. Connect the incoming wires to the “IN” connector.

4. Connect a 3’ minimum CAT5e patch cable for Ethernet connections, and a 3’ minimum BNC patch

cable for Coaxial connections, from the “OUT” connector to the equipment to be protected.

Note: Always have one common ground per system to eliminate the possibility of a differential in

ground potentials.

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.

DTK-RM12FPPLUG Installation/Removal:

1. Press square plug into unused port until it seats completely.

2. To remove plug, tap the plug out from the back side of faceplate until it is freed.
