Doc # INT-100010-001 Part No. 191129 Rev. 2 INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS DTK-SNAP-LITE Series DITEK Technical Support Available 24/7 1-888-472-6100 www.ditekcorp.com DITEK Corporation ONE DITEK CENTER 1720 Starkey Road Largo, FL 33771 INSTALLATION This Surge Protective Device (SPD) is a high performance device, designed to provide protection for sensitive electronic loads connected to service panels, fire panels, or where the SPD is directly connected to the electronic device. Maximum protection will only be achieved if the SPD is properly installed. Please read and follow the installation instructions carefully. NOTICE: This SPD should be installed and grounded, by a licensed contractor, per the applicable requirements of the NEC. When using the DTK-SLxxxA version, please take note that this device is an overvoltage and overcurrent protector and is intended for indoor use on a UL Listed 66 type block which is located on the equipment side of a UL Listed primary protector. When using the DTK-SLxxxB version, please take note that this device is an overvoltage protector and is intended for indoor use on low power Communication Loop Circuits which have been isolated from the Public Switch Telephone Network. The Communication Loop Circuit shall not be exposed to accidental contact with electrical or power conductors. (National Electric Code, article 800). Do not use on incoming Telco lines. APPLICATION Surge suppression for Voice/Data circuits terminating onto 66 type wire management blocks. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Caution: Measure all voltages to insure applied voltage does not exceed the voltage rating of the module. Improper installation voids the warranty. SNAP-IT: 1. Install the SNAP-LITE surge protector across the punch down clips of the 66 Block using a gentle rolling action from one side to the other. If you enclonter difficulty in installing the surge protector, DO-NOT force the SNAP-LITE. Instead, make sure the clips are not bent or deformed, then try a straight on approach to align the clips while rolling on the surge protector. NOTE: The 66 type block can hole up to 25 SNAP-LITE devices. 2. The SNAP-LITE device is equipped with two test points per circuit for continuity checks with an OHM meter while the SNAP-LITE is installed. 3. Allow for 3’ minimum length wiring from the OUTPUT of the SNAP-IT to the protected equipment. GROUND BAR: The DTK-SIGB ground bar fits in the ground slot of the SNAP-LITE and is designed for an interference fit and to be held captive by the ground contact. This ground bar has two breakaway tabs that allows a custom fit when a few SNAP-LITE’s are installed on the 66 type block. 1. Break away one or both tabs, depending on the number of SNAP-LITE’s are used. NOTE: If using 25 SNAP-LITE’s, do not break off any tabs. 2. Straddle each ground contact slot of each SNAP-LITE with the ground bar, then gently squeeze ground bar into ground slots. Use the Illustrations Page for more details. GROUND CONNECTION: 3. Connect a minimum #14 AWG wire from the ground connector to the common earth ground. Always have one common ground per system to eliminate the possibility of a differential in ground potentials. Make sure the ground wire is as short as possible. GROUND RESISTANCE RULE: Max ground resistance is 25 Ohms, 5 Ohms or less is optimum. This cannot be an assumed value and must be measured to assure proper grounding. Drawn By: K. Nguyen 5-16-16 Approved By: R. Mitchell 7-7-16
