Surge Protected COAX/RF Connectors

The C3 provides surge protection for your CATV system, cable modem, DSS, or antenna system. The surge protection feature pre- vents surges traveling over coaxial data lines from damaging the system.

Connect the coaxial cable from the CATV or Cable Modem pro- vider to the connector marked IN.

Connect the other coaxial cable from the connector marked OUT to the device being protected (CATV box or cable modem).

Circuit Breaker

The C3 also provides a PRESS-TO-RESETcircuit breaker. When this breaker is “tripped” due to an electrical surge or overload, the device pops out and shuts down output power to the outlets. To reset the circuit breaker, push the circuit breaker straight in.

CAUTION: When resetting the circuit breaker, push the button in quickly, and release the button. Do not hold the button in. Failure to comply with these instructions may result in equipment damage.
