Installation

The SurgeProtector should be installed inside

the controller to protect it and its connection Figure 2: Splice kit (left) and cleaning tissue
joints from environmental impact. There is suf- (right)
ficient space available.

The Surge Protector has four wires. Two at

the top that connect to the controller and two
at the bottom that connect to the external
switch/sensor. The Surge protector is installed *Please note: The cabe splice items were add-
in between the controller and the switch/sen- ed for Surge Protector manufactured from
sor. August 2018.
