1. Coaxial protection is compatible with

Local antenna, Cable/Satellite and

Cable Internet lines.

2. Telephone protection is compatible

with Voice and Fax lines, Modem lines

and DSL (Digital Subscriber Lines.)

Before Installing

1. Check the parts in both packages against the Parts Lists shown above. Contact Intermatic if parts are missing.

2. It is suggested that you read these instructions completely before installing the Stand Alone Protection (SAP) unit.

Figure 2

Figure 1

1. Remove the Cover (B) from the Stand Alone Protector (SAP) unit by removing the two Tory Head screws

(D) and separating the Cover (B) from the Mounting Frame (A).

2. Remove the IG1C coax module from the Mounting Frame by removing the

outer hex nut from each of the F-thread connectors. Do not loosen the

inner hex nut. (see Figure 3)

3. Reverse the Mounting Frame and Cover so that it appears similar to the

illustration in Figure 2.

4. Insert the IG2C coax module through the holes in the Cover (B) and

secure it using the two hex nuts that were removed in step 2. (Figures 2)

5. If a second IG2C module is being used, insert it through the holes in the

opposite end of the Cover and secure it using the outer set of hex nuts.

Individual IG1C Protection Modules are shipped with a mounting plate installed over the F-thread con-

nector. The mounting plate is used in conjunction with model IG1C3R, raintight enclosure. Remove and

discard the mounting plate for this installation.

6. Attach the Cover (B) that was removed in step 1 to the Mounting Frame (A). The Cover should be

secured to the Mounting Frame in the same manner that it was before step 1 above. The Cover now

becomes the Back Plate of the Stand Alone Protection unit. (see Figure 2)

7. Select a location to install the SAP that is convenient to coaxial and /or telephone cables. Allow enough

room to route the cables in and out of the unit.

REMEMBER:

The Ground Conductor must be bonded (COMMON) with the Service Entrance Ground.

8. If the SAP is being installed in an existing wall or surface for coaxial protection, continue with step A1

below. If the SAP is being used in a New building or Prewire installation for coaxial protection, proceed

to SECTION B.

A1. Position the Cutting Template on the wall and mark the recommended cut-out and mounting hole

positions.

A2. Cut and remove the recommended area. Drill or punch the holes required to mount the SAP to the wall.

If the 3/4” anchors are to be used, insert them into the proper holes in the wall at this time.

A3. Route the coax cables to the SAP. If the cables have connectors installed, secure them to the IG1C

unit(s). Note that at this point, the SAP has not been secured to the wall.

A4. If the cables do not have connectors attached, leave enough cable for future installation of connectors.

NOTE:

The IG1C coax protector is bidirectional. Coax cable may enter and exit from either

connector. The F-thread connectors should be hand tight only. Do not overtighten.

A5 Connect the Ground Wire making certain that it is properly connected to the building ground. Use at least

12 gauge wire if additional length is required.

A6. TEST each coax line for proper operation.

A7. When all wiring and connections are complete, place the Flush Mount Cover Plate on the Mounting

Frame and secure it with two (2) 5/8” self threading screws (J).

A8. Align the holes in Flush Mount Cover Plate with the holes or anchors in the wall and secure it to the wall

using the 3/4” x 6 Pan Head Screws.

COAXIAL LINE PROTECTION

Note: These modules rely on a good ground connection to function properly. Ground

availability should be a consideration when selecting an installation location.

Do not install Protection Devices during Electrical Storms.

B1. Position the Mounting Bracket (G) on an exposed stud and secure it to the stud. Use the alignment

holes in the Bracket to compensate for the added thickness of drywall or wall board and plaster. Note:

mounting the edge of the bracket even with the edge of the stud will position the unit correctly for 3/8”

drywall. Use the alignment holes for other wall thicknesses.

B2. Secure the reassembled Mounting Frame

(A) and Back Cover (B) to the Mounting

Bracket using the self threading screws

(H). Refer to Figures 2 and 4.

B3. Route the coax cables to the SAP.

B4. Install the Ground Wire and make certain

that it is properly connected to the building

ground. Note that a 12 gauge wire should

be the minimum size used.

B5. For installations where the coax cable

does not yet have connectors, allow

approximately two inches (2”) of coax

cable for each connection set. Leave

enough slack in the cable to allow it to be

secured to the Mounting Frame without

placing stress on the connectors.

Secure the cables to the SAP using ty-

wraps through one of the unused holes.

B6. If the cable has connectors, attach an

incoming (unprotected) cable to one F-

thread of the IG1C module. Connect the

cable to the equipment or splitter to the

other F-thread of the IG1C module.

NOTE:

The IG1C module is bi-directional.

Unprotected and Protected cables may be attached to either connector.

B7. TEST each coax line for proper operation.

B8. When all wiring is complete, place the Flush Mount Cover Plate on the Mounting Frame and secure it with

two (2) 5/8” self threading screws (J) in Figure 2.

B9. Align the holes in Flush Mount Cover Plate with the holes or anchors in the wall and secure it to the wall

using the 3/4” x 6 Pan Head Screws.
