It connects to your breaker panel and guards the circuits that panel feeds. EMP Shield says it protects against all three phases of an EMP (E1, E2 and E3), coronal mass ejections (CME), lightning and everyday power surges. The RL in the model number stands for remote LED.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version is meant for homes with a flush-mounted breaker panel, where a box on the outside of the wall is not practical. The unit sits inside the breaker box, and a small LED box mounts on the outside so you can still check it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEMP Shield Concealed Home EMP Protection Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMounts Inside A Flush Panel For A Clean Wall\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor non-surface-mount installs, EMP Shield says to secure the unit inside the breaker box and connect the LED box on the exterior. Only a small square with two lights shows on the wall. EMP Shield says this RL version comes with a terminal block for 12 AWG copper wire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRemote LEDs Report Status Without Opening The Panel\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe remote box carries two green diagnostic lights, labeled L1 and L2, one for each leg of your split-phase service. When power is restored after the install, EMP Shield says the lights turn on to show the unit is installed and monitoring incoming power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e228kA Surge Capacity Across Three Protection Modes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEMP Shield rates the unit for a surge capacity of 228kA (114kA nominal discharge current). It lists line-to-line, line-to-neutral and line-to-ground protection modes. Each phase is independently fused and has its own solid-state semiconductor circuitry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eResponds To Over-Voltage In Under A Nanosecond\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEMP Shield says the unit begins shunting over-voltage in less than one nanosecond, steering excess energy away from your equipment. EMP Shield also lists IEEE C62.41-1991 category A and B combination wave suppression for this model family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIndependent Lab Testing Reported By EMP Shield\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEMP Shield reports testing at Keystone Compliance to MIL-STD-188-125-1, MIL-STD-461G, MIL-STD-464C and RS-105. Keystone Compliance does not endorse products. EMP Shield states its products are listed by the Department of Homeland Security in its EMP resilience report, and it describes this unit as UL 1449 Type 2 compliant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNEMA 4 Enclosure Made In Kansas\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main unit is housed in a NEMA 4 plastic enclosure with one conduit entrance port.

The RL model goes inside the breaker box and moves the lights to a separate LED box. Both are built for 120\/240V split-phase service, so the choice comes down to how your panel is mounted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePanel Unit Versus Plug-In Power Strip Surge Protector\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA power strip surge protector only covers what is plugged into it. A panel-connected unit works at the breaker box, so the circuits fed by that panel are covered, including hardwired major appliances that never touch a power strip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePanel Unit Versus Faraday Bag Or Cage\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Faraday bag or cage shields spare electronics stored inside it, unplugged and out of use.

Mount the LED box where the lights are easy to see.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWho Should Install It\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEMP Shield says installation is by a licensed electrician, following local electrical codes. The unit must be on a line served by a disconnect, such as 20-amp circuit breakers or a 20-amp fused disconnect switch, and its leads must never go directly to the service entrance lugs. EMP Shield puts the job at 10 to 15 minutes for a licensed electrician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThis May Be A Good Fit If\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour home has 120\/240V split-phase service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour breaker panel is flush-mounted in the wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou want status lights you can see without opening the panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA licensed electrician will handle the install\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat Does It Mean If A Light Goes Out?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEMP Shield says that if a diagnostic light shuts off during normal operation, an electrician should check whether power is present on that phase. If power is there, the unit should be replaced or upgraded as soon as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan It Handle Sustained \u003cspan style=\"white-space: nowrap;\"\u003eOver-Voltage?\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEMP Shield notes that its devices may not survive sustained overvoltages.

If lightning destroys the unit, EMP Shield replaces it for $50 when you send in the destroyed unit. A separate EMP Shield protection policy can reimburse damaged connected electronics up to $25,000 when its conditions are met, such as a licensed electrician install and a claim within 30 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x EMP Shield SP-120-240-RL Concealed Home Unit With Remote LED Box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhole-Panel Coverage Behind A Closed Door\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EMP Shield Concealed Home EMP Protection unit brings EMP, CME, lightning and surge protection to a flush-mounted 120\/240V panel without changing the look of the wall.
