Introduction:

The ENFORCER HDMI Surge Protector is a passive device that helps protect sensitive HDMI equipment from power surges. The device can be deployed in new installations or existing ones.

The ENFORCER HDMI Surge Protector should be installed between HDMI equipment such as players, monitors, and projectors to protect against surges that could damage the video equipment.

Installation:

NOTE: These instructions assume that 2 HDMI devices have already been connected together.

Protecting a Single Device:

1. Detach the existing HDMI cable 1 from the device to be protected and attach that cable to the

―Unprotected‖ end of the HDMI Surge Protector.

2. Attach another HDMI cable (not included) between the device to be protected and the

―Protected‖ end of the HDMI Surge Protector. The protected cables should be as short as possible and should not cross unprotected cables.

3. Connect the ground wire from the HDMI Surge Protector (either end 2 ) to earth ground. The system should use a single ground point and the protected device should be isolated from ground.
