Do not use any extension cords with the HP Surge Protector.
•
Do not use the HP Surge Protector in a hot, heat-emitting or
excessively moist location.
•

•
If an outside antenna is connected to the HP Surge Protector, be
sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code provides information
with respect to the proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode. CATV coaxial cable should be properly
grounded by the cable TV provider per the National
Electrical Code Article 820-40. If there is any doubt about
the antenna or CATV cable system being correctly installed,
contact a licensed electrician.
