PHN-2 Installation Instructions > At the outside telephone box, install the suppressor inside the box or let it hang by the wires outside the box. > Connect the large green wire to the telephone ground terminal or any good ground. Sometimes the electrical ground is nearby and you can connect to it. > Each telephone line has two wires, they will be either Red and Green and/or Black and yellow. > There are 4 small wires on the suppressor. One pair for one phone line and the other to the second line (if you only have one phone line, then just leave the 2 unused wires unconnected). > There is no polarity to the suppressor wires. You can connect any of the 4 black suppressor wires to the phone lines in any order. > Keep the wire as short as possible and avoid sharp bends and kinks in the suppressor wires. |

Misleading JOULE ratings defies standards Several surge manufacturers have published literature claiming superior surge protector performance. But if you look closely, you’ll discover that they’re using Joules as a measure, not Let-through rating. Joule rating is simply the sum total of the unit’s internal components’ ability to absorb and dissipate surge energy. To use this as a measure of performance is more than irrelevant, it’s inaccurate. It’s so inaccurate, it contradicts two national electrical organizations. The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) exempts energy ratings as a valid measure of performance. The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is even more adamant. IEEE has published a warning in IEEE C62.33-1982, section 6.1, stating, “Users should be aware that energy rating (joules) does not necessarily mean a lower capability of survival.” In reality, joule rating has no definitive link to actual performance, and because vendors can essentially make up different joule ratings for virtually identical components, potential buyers should beware of its use in promotions. One particular unit has magically moved from a 420 joule rating to a 700 joule rating with no component changes whatsoever. Let-through voltage is the measure that matters. Let-through voltage is the amount of voltage that a surge protector will actually pass to equipment after being subject to IEEE 587A test standards (a 6000-volt spike that could potentially destroy a PC.) We conducted tests of the let-through voltage performance of three same-class surge suppressors. These products included the XXX, Professional series model xxx and two competitive products, “type X” and “type Y”, claiming Joule ratings above 800 J. The unloaded units under test were subjected to five applications of a line-neutral test waveform conforming to the ANSI C62.41 Category A standard. The average resultant let-through voltage of the Type X suppressor was calculated to be 405 Vpeak. The average resultant let-through voltage of the Type Y suppressor was calculated to be 410 V peak. The average resultant let-through voltage of the XXX model xxx was calculated to be 85 Vpeak, proving that the Joule rating of the products tested had no relationship to the actual surge suppression provided and all that “Joule promotions” was misleading hype. Cut through the hype. The next time you hear someone trying to pass off Joule ratings on you, demand to see actual let-through performance on the measure that matters, IEEE 587A Let-through rating. In plain talk, JOULES are not an accurate measure of Surge Protector effectiveness, as a matter of fact, if you go to the IEEE and NEMA web sites, they don’t even list the term “JOULES” on their web sites since it is not a relevant measure of accurate surge protector effectiveness.—Yes, it is an astounding statement, but you can check this out for yourself. |

Why install WHOLE HOUSE SURGE PROTECTION instead of Plug in outlet protectors: · More effective since they are installed nearest the utility ground = shortest path to ground. · Protects equipment that a “plug in” protector can’t protect, Central Air, Furnace, pumps, etc. · Protects house wiring that could catch fire between walls - Your outlet strip can’t do that. · Longer appliance life due to continuous Whole House electrical surge suppression. · LIFETIME manufacturers replacement warranty.—MADE in the USA · Pays for itself with the added benefit of extending appliance’s and electrical equipment life by up to 30% |

THE DIFERENCE BETWEEN LIGHTNING RODS and SURGE PROTECTORS LIGHTNING RODS are placed at high points on the roof and are designed to intercept a Lightning Strike and send the Current into the ground. Lightning Rods will only protect from a direct strike to your structure SURGE PROTECTORS are designed to stop harmful surges from entering through the Electric power lines, Telephone and TV cable wires. The damage caused to electrical equipment can come in as a result of an "indirect" lightning strike to the utility lines even as far away as a couple of miles. The surge can follow the utility wires into your home causing much damage to electrical equipment and may even cause a fire by heating equipment and wires between walls, etc. It makes little difference whether you have underground wires or not, the surge will follow the wires into your electric panel and into house wiring and appliances, etc. |

How the Spike-Ender works: The Spike-Ender uses Gas Tube technology. The center (feed) wire of the Coaxial cable passes through a Metal Tube filled with a non-conductive gas. The gas becomes conductive when an over voltage appears on the coaxial cable. The high voltage makes the gas fire (or glow similar to a fluorescent bulb), the electrons in the gas are very conductive when fired, thus the overvoltage is short circuited to the metal shield of the protector and coax cable. If the overvoltage exceeds the protectors capacity, there is a fuseable link that will “open (or disconnect) the circuit” - If that happens, it is time to send it back for a FREE Lifetime replacement. |
