Notes
This example was photographed while still in active service prior to retirement. The unit remained operational at the time of documentation and represents one of the earliest entries in the OldSurge Archive.
The attached 14 AWG power cord terminates in a right-angle plug intended to reduce clearance requirements when connected to a wall receptacle. In the documented installation, the wall receptacle was mounted with the grounding slot positioned above the energized conductors, causing the right-angle plug to route upward from the outlet before descending toward the surge protector. The attached power cord is marked SJT 14 AWG x 3C with a VW-1 flame rating and a 60°C temperature rating. The cord terminates in a molded right-angle NEMA 5-15P plug.
The green Ground indicator was illuminated at the time of documentation. The red Surge indicator was not illuminated.
The underside of the enclosure includes integrated keyhole mounting slots, allowing the unit to be mounted to a wall or other flat surface and molded electrical ratings, manufacturing information, and injection-mold date indicators. Molded markings identify the unit as manufactured in China and confirm a suppressed voltage rating of 330 volts. Communications protection features include RJ11 telephone line protection and two independent coaxial surge protection paths using F-type connectors.
