2.1.6 The unit shall include an engineered solid-state high-performance suppression system,
utilizing selenium cells and fused non-linear voltage dependent metal oxide arrestors,
with similar operating characteristics. The unit shall provide solid-state suppression
area of 2520 sq. inches to ensure maximum performance reliability. The unit shall
include a high-frequency extended range-tracking filter. The filter shall reduce fast rise-
time, high frequency, error producing transients and electrical line noise to harmless
levels.

2.1.7 The unit shall include solid-state, long-life, externally mounted LED visual status
indicators that indicate the on-line status of each phase of the unit.

2.1.8 The unit shall incorporate an integral test point, allowing easy off-line diagnostic
testing, which verifies the operational integrity of the unit’s suppression/filter system.
Standard surface-mounted units shall be provided in an enclosure of 14-gauge steel,
painted inside and out. The unit shall include an integral fused and safety interlocked
disconnect switch, located in the unit enclosure with an externally mounted manual
operator. The switch shall disconnect all ungrounded circuit conductors from the
