INsTALLATION INsTRuCTIONs

There are five (5) terminals on the LINE SIDE and five (5) terminals on the EQUIPMENT SIDE of the 420LE, 4 data lines and one ground. Both grounds are connected

together internally. A single low impedance is ground sufficient. Incoming data lines are cut or disconnected from the equipment to insert the 420LE/B products. The

incoming lines are to be connected to the line side terminals as the equipment side lines are connected to the equipment side terminals. The location of the product

should be as close to the equipment as possible. The 420LE/B series is designed with a short circuit failure mode to give maximum protection. A fuse, fusible link, or

circuit breaker is recommended for each data/signal line on the input side for those that require an open circuit failure mode.

Caution: A low DC resistance ground may not be indicative of a good lightning ground. Lightning contains a broad spectrum of frequencies up to 1 MHz. A low im-

pedance path to ground at the transient frequencies is necessary. A ground strap is recommended or a #6 AWG stranded wire. For wire lengths over 1.5 meters, there

may be some excessive line to earth potential under severe thunderstorm conditions.
