2. Introduction
2.1 General Overview
Appendix B
CAUTION!
These surge protectors will not provide complete protection should your
equipment or building be subject to a direct lightning hit, nor will they
provide complete protection against severe differences in ground
potential (“severe ground loops”).

CHAPTER 3: Installation
CAUTION!
Surge energy may run both directions on the ground strap. To provide
the best protection, it is essential that the ground strap on the Surge
Protector be connected to the chassis ground of the protected device. Do
not lengthen the Surge Protector’s ground strap or connect it to a ground
other than chassis ground unless instructed to do so by your supplier’s
technical support.
3.2.2 CONNECTING THE PSP AT A BARRIER (WALL, BUILDING ENTRANCE, ETC.)
CAUTION!
Surge energy may run both directions on the ground strap. To provide
the best protection, it is essential that the ground strap on the Surge
Protector be connected to electrical safety ground. Do not lengthen the
Surge Protector’s ground strap or connect it to a ground not tied to safety
ground unless instructed to do so by your supplier’s technical support.
