For optimum protection please observe the following good wiring practices:
• Avoid routing signal wires parallel to power wiring or cables.
• Cross power and other cables at a right angle to minimize inductance or
capacitance coupling.
• Keep length of protected signal wires as short as possible.
• Use shielded wires whenever possible.
• Connect wire shields to equipotentional bonding/ground on both sides of the
SPD and protected equipment.

UL Requirements
Safety Instructions
1. This Surge Protective Device (SPD) is intended for ordinary indoor use on communication loop circuits that are isolated from the Public Switched Telephone Network.
2. The SPD module shall be secured to the compatible base before applying power to the communication loop.
3. The base shall be secured to a compatible DIN-Rail ground bar using the methods described in this instruction.
4. Proper grounding continuity shall be determined.
5. Please install the protector module inaccordance with the applicable requirements of the National Electrical Code®,
Article 800 or other applicable local codes.
6. Screw terminal ratings with the applicable wire gauge sizes shall be noted.
7. The maximum circuit current for UL 497 B application is limited to 100mA.
This Surge Protective Device (SPD)
for coaxial connection may only be
installed by qualified electrical
personnel. All applicable national
and local electrical standards and
safety regulations must be
observed. The SPD must be
checked for external damage prior
to installation. If any damage or
other defects are detected, do not
install the device.

Catalog Number
BSPD0180DINL
The installation and application of
this SPD is only permitted within the
limits shown and stated in these
installation instructions. The SPD
and the equipment connected to it
can be destroyed by loads
exceeding the stated values.
Opening, modifying or otherwise
tampering with the SPD invalidates
the warranty.
Application and Mode of Operation
The BSPD0180DINL surge protective device automatically adjusts to the operating voltage (from 0 to 180
volts) of the protected device.
When an overvoltage event occurs, the SPD voltage protection level adjusts itself based upon the output
terminal operating voltage of the base (see Diagram 1 and Oscillogram 1).
