WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:
• TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH, TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER or fuse and test that the power is off before wiring!
• To be installed and/or used in accordance with appropriate electrical codes and regulations.
•
If you are unsure about any part of these instructions, contact an electrician.
• This device is not a lightning arrestor. It will not survive lightning strikes in close proximity to the premises or sustained overvoltages.
INTRODUCTION
Leviton's Four-In-One Surge Protection Receptacles are designed to reduce the random
energy surges of voltage transients and electrical noise on the power supply line.
Leviton's Four-In-One Surge Protective Receptacles can be used to protect sensitive
electronic equipment in industrial, commercial, and residential locations, from the stress
and degradation inflicted by voltage transients. Isolated Ground (-IG) Surge Protective
Receptacles provide a pure grounding path isolated from the normal grounding means,
which employs the unit's mounting strap.
The diagnostics LED indicator light is ON continuously when protection is active, but turns
OFF when protection circuit is deactivated due to excessive transients. The entire unit must
be replaced if surge protection is required. If the unit is not replaced, it will function only as a
conventional receptacle within its given rating.
Leviton's Four-In-One Surge Protective Receptacles are UL listed to mount on a standard
single wall box without an adapter plate. However, you may use the Leviton Cat. No. 3254
Adapter Plate in all applications for a more decorative look. This plate is sold separately.
The Leviton Portable Box (Cat. No. 4254) can be used for surface mounting where an
electrical box does not exist. The Portable Box is sold separately.
FEATURES
• UL 1449 TVSS rated
• Impact-resistant nylon construction
• 3 protection modes: L-N, L-G, N-G
• Backwire ground
• EMI/RFI filter for radio/TV interference
INSTALLATION
TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH, TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER or
fuse and test that the power is off before wiring!
1. Remove the insulation on each circuit conductor to expose 1" (2.5 cm) bare copper wire
at end of circuit wire. Keep wire ends straight.
2. Connect wires as follows: Twist all strands firmly together. Insert the conductor in
the snub hole and wrap the conductor counterclockwise around the terminal screw.
BLACK conductor to BRASS screw, WHITE conductor to SILVER screw, and GREEN
conductor to GREEN hex screw. Be sure there are no loose strands. If system ground
is uninsulated, pigtail the uninsulated ground wire (which may be provided) from the
GREEN hex screw to the electrical box.
3. Tighten terminal screws over wire loops using the appropriate torque value, which can be
found at Leviton.com/torquevalue.
4. Mount receptacle (refer to Mounting Instructions for you application).
5. Restore power at circuit breaker or fuse. INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.
PORTABLE BOX MOUNTING
USE FLEXIBLE CORD ONLY IN THIS CONFIGURATION. NEVER USE WITH
UNINSULATED GROUND CONDUCTOR. A GROUND SHORT MAY OCCUR. PORTABLE
BOX CONFIGURATIONS ARE NOT UL LISTED.
1. For surface mounting, remove the knockouts in the back of the box. Mount the box on
the surface using #6 screws (not provided). Be sure that the box's cord hole is oriented
correctly before mounting the box.
2. Remove the cord jacket about 6" (15.2 cm). Be sure not to damage the insulation. An
electrical short of current leakage may occur which may cause harm to the equipment or
cause bodily injury. Remove the insulation on each conductor about 1" (2.5 cm).

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS:
• Install this device only in a single branch circuit protected by a fuse or a circuit breaker.
• Use this device with copper or copper-clad wire.
• A surge protective receptacle will provide maximum protection for loads plugged directly into it. It will provide some protection to nearby receptacles,
though protection diminishes proportionally with the length of wire run.
