Installing The Phone & Data Line Protector

Locate the phone company’s Terminal Connecting Box marked “Telephone Network Interface,” usually located on an outside wall. The Protector can adhere, via backside adhesive, in the side so arrowed “Custom Access.” Trim the White Lead Wire short enough so at least two of the four colored wires (yellow-black-green-red) can be stripped, secured, and tightened under pairs of terminals on the phone company access side that secure their single pairs of incoming wires, per phone line.

Since the Protector covers up to 2 phone or data lines from its 4 non-polarized colored wires, any two can protect since pairs of wires per phone lines. Conversely, if you are protecting only one phone line, any two each of the 4 Protector wires stripped can be twisted together, so forming 2 that give double protection when connected to any pair of incoming phone wires.

Why Use The Dominator™ TLC-300?

The function of The Dominator™ is to capture electrical surges and High Energy Events that pass through your Circuit Breaker Box and send them harmlessly to Ground. This is accomplished by connecting a heavily loaded 220v circuit breaker to The Dominator™. Surges and events are then captured and diverted by its Components to Ground via an insulated connection between your Breaker Box Ground Bar and the Ground Lug inside The Dominator™

A Ground Rod penetrating the earth at least 8 feet must, without fail, connect to the Ground Bar of your Breaker Box. Without this terminating Ground Rod connection, The Dominator™ will not perform, so THIS IS IMPERATIVE.

A High Energy Event immediately takes its shortest path to ground, often passing through and destroying expensive equipment. The Dominator™, however, captures and diverts this high energy to an easily accessible groundpath, circumventing your equipment.

The telephone line is also very susceptible. The Phone & Data Line Protector covers up to two phone or data lines at the phone company’s terminal box, usually located on an outside wall. The Protector’s green ground wire then connects to the phone company’s ground rod. A good solid connection is imperative here, also, or the Phone Protector will not perform.

THE DOMINATOR™ TLC-300

Sends Lightning to Ground

Rather Than Suppressing It.

MADE IN THE USA

Installing The Dominator™

  1. From the left side row of breakers (L1) inside the Main Breaker Box, choose a 220v 30 amp breaker with nominal load, which will connect to The Dominator™. If not available, choose a nominally loaded 220v 20 amp breaker from that same left row (L1). It is preferable that either breaker be near a Knockout.
  1. Choose (do not install, yet) a mounting location for The Dominator™ that is within a foot, or so, of Breaker Box’s left side. The location requires The Dominator™ to be positioned vertically so that the pre-punched hole on the right side is adjacent to and in line with the Breaker Box Knockout closest to the 220v connecting Breaker.
  1. Once the exact mounting position of The Dominator™ is determined, punch out the chosen Breaker Box Knockout, and mount the unit with 4 screws of your choice, running a short piece of precut ½“ PVC or conduit securely between the two, with connectors at both ends.

Note: Mounting The Dominator to a 1x or 2x shim board may be necessary for the PVC or conduit to run horizontal and straight into the Breaker Box.

Wiring The Dominator™

  1. If 1x or 2x wooden shims are needed behind The Dominator™ to level the PVC or conduit, complete this task first.
  1. After determining lengths of the two wires connecting The Dominator™ two-pole terminal block (picture #1, arrow A) to the chosen 220-volt breaker, add 4-5 inches each and cut like colors of #10 or #12 (gauge) solid or stranded copper wire (#10 solid is preferred). Choose any solid color except green or white.
  1. Strip ends of both wires about 3/8”, crimp, then solder (12-24 hour liquid) #10-12 open-ended blade terminals to the stripped ends. They will secure to The Dominator™ terminal block (picture #1, arrows B & C). But first, tape opposite ends together and feed through the PVC or conduit from The Dominator™ Side to the breaker box. Then tie both terminal ends to The Dominator™ terminal block, then pull snug from the Breaker Box Side to remove all slack. CAUTION: For safety reasons make sure the chosen 220-volt breaker is turned OFF including the two directly above and below it.
  1. Tightly secure both wires to the chosen double-pole circuit breaker, LEAVING IT IN THE OFF POSITION, so as not to power The Dominator™.
  1. Cut one piece of #10 gauge (only) green insulated stranded or solid copper wire (solid preferred) of adequate length with plenty of slack, to run unspliced from The Dominator™ Ground Lug into the breaker box, down the inside, across the bottom and up to the Ground Bus Bar.
  1. Tape the Bus Bar end for SAFETY REASONS, then strip the opposite end about 3/8” and feed it through the PVC or conduit from the Breaker Box Side, then secure to the Ground Lug (picture #1 arrow D). Now strip the Ground Wire’s Bus Bar end and tightly secure under Bus Bar screw.
  1. Double-check all wire-securing screws for tightness, then Power-Up by flipping the 220-volt breaker to ON, which also powers the Indicator Light on door cover.
