Zap-Tech HW Series User manual

HW SERIES SURGE PROTECTORS
Custom Surge protection is our specialty. Custom versions are available including mixed or
special voltages, different connectors or wiring options. Contact us for details.
OPERATION:
The Zap-Tech protector will repetitively protect and reset without
degradation up to it's maximum repetitive self-reset surge. If it is
subjected to more than it's maximum repetitive self-reset surge, the
device will remain in a clamped mode indicating that it should be
removedor replaced while keeping the equipment safe from
subsequent surges.
INSTALLATION:
Zap-Tech protectors should be installed in series with the incoming
communication line at the port of the equipment being protected. The
protector's grounding wire must be connected to the chassis ground
of the protected equipment.
IMPORTANT!
It is important that the protector and the chassis of the equipment to be
protected are both properly grounded to a properly earthed electrical
safety ground via the equipment's 3-prong power cord and/or a ground
wire of 14 AWG or larger. Protectors should be installed at both ends of
communication lines to ensure equipment protection at each end.
All specifications are subject to change without notice.
Detailed specifications for specific versions available on request.

INSTALLATION OF P/N: 40-422-120 ONTO TRIMBLE ACUTIME SYNCH INTERFACE:
CAUTION, BEFORE STARTING, MAKE SURE THAT EQUIPMENT TO BE PROTECTED IS NOT ENERGIZED.
1. Pre-determine the installation location of the protector to minimize wire length (<5 inches) between the protector and the port of the equipment being protected.
NOTE: Connectorized protectors that can be installed directly onto the equipment port are available and may be more suitable and easier to install.
Please consult the Zap-Tech GPS series Datasheet or contact us with your connector type and pin outs..
2. Pry open the cover of the protector.
3. Remove 2 screws with PC board assembly and end grommets from enclosure
4. Feed both cable ends through end grommets.
5. Terminate pairs to terminal block positions per the diagram below.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE NO LOOSE WIRE STRANDS THAT CAN SHORT TO ADJACENT CIRCUITRY OR BOARD TRACES.
6. Install and tighten zip ties for cable strain relief using two holes at each end of board assembly.
7. install PC board cables and grommet assembly into enclosure.
8. Install the two supplied board mounting screws.
CAUTION: THE TWO SUPPLIED SCREWS MUST BE INSTALLED TO PREVENT SHORTING AND TO SECURE THE BOARD ASSEMBLY INTO THE ENCLOSURE .
9. Replace cover onto protector, Note orientation of ground wire slot in cover
10. Connect green grounding wire to properly grounded equipment chassis ground and facility earth ground.
IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE THE INCOMING AND OUTGOING CABLE SHIELD DRAIN WIRESARE CONNECTED COMMON WITH THE PROTECTOR GROUND WIRE AND EQUIPMENT
CHASSIS AND FACILITY EARTH GROUND.
CAUTION: TO PROPERLY PROTECT THE GPS INTERFACE, ZAP-TECH PROTECTOR P/N: 40-422-001 MUST BE INSTALLED AT THE ANTENNAEND OF THE INSTALLATION.
This protector can be installed with either end
toward equipment.
