Space Age T24-DG is a 24 V module in the TDG (Eclipse DG) series of hybrid low-voltage surge protectors. It combines silicon avalanche diodes (SAD) with a gas discharge tube (GDT) for ultra-low line capacitance, protecting two circuits (four wires) on fire alarm, security, access control and other low-voltage wiring. Modules interlock side by side and can be swapped in the field.

Installation notes
- Series device: incoming wiring to the IN terminals, protected device to the OUT terminals
- Connect to earth ground with the 12 AWG green ground strap; single-point grounding
- Where possible, leave 3 to 9 ft (1 to 3 m) between the protector and the protected device
- Mount by screws (included), Snap Track or DIN rail (track and rail sold separately); each module takes about 1 in.
- Space Age states the series helps satisfy NFPA 72 12.2.3.3, NFPA 70 760.32 and NFPA 70 805.90
