IMPORTANT SAFETY POINTS
ITW Linx surge protectors and the connected equipment must be
indoors and in a dry location and in the same building. Although
your ITW Linx protector is very durable, its internal components are
not isolated from the environment. Do not install any ITW Linx
product near any heat emitting appliances such as a radiator or
heat register. Do not install this product where excessive moisture
is present; for example near a bathtub, sink, pool, basement floor,
fish tank, etc.
It is not unusual for a building to be improperly grounded. In order
to protect your equipment, ITW Linx products must be plugged into
a properly grounded 3-wire outlet. Additionally, building wiring and
grounding must conform to applicable NEC (USA) or CEC (Canada)
codes.
This Device features an internal protection that will disconnect the
surge protective component at the end of its useful life but will
maintain power to the load- now unprotected. If this situation is
undesirable for the appli- cation, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for replacing the device.
IMPORTANT SAFETY POINTS

2. If possible, mount the protector between the incoming wall phone jacks and
KSU/PBX when protecting a phone system—this will simplify wiring later.
3. The protector must be attached to a solid surface, such as 3/4" plywood. If the
protector will be mounted on sheet rock, you must provide appropriate fasteners.
STEP 1: MOUNTING THE SURGEGATE AC BASE UNIT (optional)
1. Install the SurgeGate protector near the connected equipment and within 7 feet of
a properly grounded 3-wire outlet. The protector should be mounted in a dry,
indoor location as close to the floor as possible. Leave room above the protector
to add additional modules for future expansion.
