WARNING: If wires are to be buried or covered, use conduit to protect the wires. (Continued on back)
The following procedures are general steps for a typical installation. For additional information, please contact Technical
Support at 1-800-229-3404 or [email protected].
1Ensure power has been terminated on rectier and all devices.
2Install Storm Trapper HE Surge Arrester on AC input:
aInstall black leads across Line 1 and Line 2 of rectier’s AC input.
These lines should be routed to the breaker.
bConnect white lead to rectier chassis.
NOTE: If an arrestor is already installed on the AC input, then install the Storm
Trapper HE Surge Arrester in parallel. Replace spade terminals with at
terminals for easier connection to where existing arrester is connected.
4Secure Storm Trapper HE Surge Arrester by zip-tie to suitable location or
place on oor of rectier.
Installing the Surge Arrester Kit
WARNING:To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage when handling electronic equipment, always wear an anti-static
wrist strap attached to an unpainted, grounded metal object. Ensure the wrist strap has maximum contact with bare skin.
Install DC Lightning Arrestor & Surge Detector
1Attach DC Lightning Arrestor’s black leads to rectier DC outputs.
2Thread DC Lightning Arrestor’s white wire through the hole (marked Pulse) on
the Surge Detector’s current transformer.
3Connect a spade connector (included in kit) to the end of the DC Lightning
Arrestor’s white wire and connect to common ground location.
4Wire and connect the Surge Detector to the Bullhorn RMU’s digital Channel 5. Be
sure to observe proper polarity.
5Connect DC Lightning Arrestor’s two yellow wires to Bullhorn RMU’s Channel 6.
Polarity is not important as long as one wire is on the positive input and the other is
on the negative input.
6DC Lightning Arrestor can be placed on rectier oor or anywhere to keep the
installation tidy.

1Attach FUT to Unit’s Firmware Upload port. The update begins automatically.
Ground RMU and Ground Connections to Earth Ground
1Do not ground the RMU if unit is inside rectier or attached to the external
rectier case.
If RMU is attached on another pole (not inside or attached to external
rectier case), ensure the RMU’s ground is connected to a common ground
point on the rectier chassis.
2Ground connection to earth ground.
aIf there is a ground rod, check connection and ensure it is connected to rectier
chassis.
bIf there is no ground rod, install one if possible. If one cannot be installed, make a
note in records that no ground rod is installed.
2LED lights on the FUT:
Status LED light indicates when FUT is updating or complete.
Activity LED light ashes during the verication and update process.
IMPORTANT: Unit must complete packet transmission to complete the update. If
packet transmission is not successful, repeat the rmware update process.
IMPORTANT: Do not turn off the unit during the update process.
3When the Completed status light turns on and the Activity light turns off,
disconnect the FUT.
4LED lights on the Unit:
The Acquiring Signal light ashes to indicate Unit is searching for satellite
signal.
The Packet Queue light ashes to indicate Unit is transmitting. The light
turns off when Bullhorn Web receives the packet.
Unit automatically sends a packet when update is complete.
Install DC Surge Suppressor
1Replace existing surge suppressor on DC side of stack with DC Surge Suppressor
from kit.
NOTE: For JA rectiers —black/red leads = DC side of stack; yellow/white leads = AC
side of stack. You will need to replace the Surge Suppressor for DC side of stack.

Common Ground Location
on Rectifier Chassis
DC Surge Suppressor
5Connect to unit using the USB cable. Open Bullhorn Tools and complete the following:
aVerify that rmware was updated to version 4.7.
bEnsure the Alarm Measurement Interval eld is set to 240 minutes.
cEnsure Channel 5 is enabled and the accumulator is turned on.
dEnsure Channel 6 is enabled.
cEnsure all ground connections are installed to single point on rectier chassis, including DC Lightning Arrestor,
ground rod, and potentially the RMU. A 1/4" bolt can be installed on rectier chassis that connects ground rod to
the bolt via a copper wire (externally) and all internal ground connections (internally).
IMPORTANT: If unit’s rmware version is 4.7 or later, skip this step. You can check rmware version through your
Bullhorn Web account or by connecting the unit to Bullhorn Tools. Be sure to disconnect from Bullhorn Tools
before beginning the upgrade process.
