KEY ITEMS

1. Keep all connections as short as possible. The shorter connections provide better protection to electrical equipment from damage by surges.

2. Insure the arrester is connected to a good ground path.

Lightning Arrester Wires Black White

A- Neutral Bus B- 2 Pole Breaker (Not necessarily in the position illustrated)

Connect White wire to neutral bus or ground. (A)

Connect the 2 black wires to any*two side by side breakers as shown. (B)

Be sure to switch off the breaker(s) before connecting.

The arrestor clamps the surge faster than the breaker can trip - therefore, even if the breaker trips, the arrester will already have done it's job. Be sure to re-set breaker(s) if necessary.

*Breakers are connected to the MAIN POWER BUS, therefore provide protection to ALL other breakers.

The WHOLE HOUSE ARRESTOR will re-set automatically and keep on working for many years.

Whenever you believe it may have taken a heavy surge be sure that the green light is 
'STILL LIT' - if not the Arrestor should be replaced.

Note: If there are no "knockouts" on your electrical box you may install the Arrestor on the inside of the electrical box,  in any position.
