TESTIMONIALS CONFIRMING THE SUCCESSFUL USE OF
DE-SPIKETM
SURGE SUPPRESSORS
This letter is to let you know the tremendous success that we have experienced from your
DE-SPIKE installation.
Prior to the installation of the various DE-SPIKE surge suppressors, we had numerous electrical spike problems with
our computer and telephone.
These voltage surges came from electrical storms which frequented our part of town in the spring and summer. Several
times we had 3 to 5 thousand dollars worth of damage to our computerized telephone. We tried several complicated grounding
ideas and expended considerable time and money trying to short out or ground the buildings or the electrical equipment. Nothing
seemed to work. Then we accidentaly heard about your research and your unique approach to solving electrical and lightning
problems.
After the installation of your DE-SPIKE equipment in 1985, we have not had a single case of equipment failure due
to lightning or other surges. The protection has been so complete that we have enthusiastically recommended your service to
other lumber dealers in North and South Carolina.
I am an electrical engineering graduate, and I had begun to believe that there was no satisfactory solution to voltage
spikes due to lightning. Your unique equipment has changed my mind, and has saved my company much worry and many dollars since
1985.
Please feel free to use us as a reference for your equipment at any time, as we are convinced that you have no peers
in the business of electrical equipment protection.

As you know, we have one of your surge protectors installed on each of our branches and was not really sure that they
would serve the purpose.
On the morning of November 9, 1990, a tractor trailer hit our meter base that was on a pole outside one of our branches
and caused a short. After we got power restored, we found that the DE-SPIKE DS-240-3D took the full load and saved all our computer equipment along with the telephone systems
and all the other office equipment.
The cost of the DE-SPIKE unit was well worth its price, and I am positive now that the surge protector works as it
was designed to do.
Thank you for having manufactured this product.

In August, 1984 Fort Jackson ( U.S. Army, South Carolina) began installing Voltage Surge Suppression Devices on electrical
panels which served loads that were susceptible to lightning damage. In 1984 Fort Jackson's DEH installed a DE-SPIKE Voltage Surge Suppression Device on electrical
panels in two academic classroom buildings. Since installation of the surge suppressors there have been no recorded instances
of lightning damage to personal computers in either of the buildings. Approximately 1800 personal computers are used for training
purposes in these two buildings. The DE-SPIKE surge suppressors have also proved
effective as protection for gate operators on electrically driven fence gates at Fort Jackson's ammunition supply point. Other
applications of the surge suppressors include Fort Jackson's army hospital and the DEH computer room. Approximately 1500 DE-SPIKE
units have been installed with no known failures to any of the protected equipment.

I have had, on my home at Lake Murray, SC, one DE-SPIKE per panel box. Since installation five or more years ago,
I have had NOT ONE power failure due to lightning.
Friends around the lake without such protection have not been so fortunate. Also my children in Knoxville, TN; Washington,
D.C. ; and across town in Columbia, SC are as pleased as I am and have been trouble free since installation of DE-SPIKE.

On the evening of September 3, 1992 we experienced a massive electrical storm in Lexington, SC. It would not have been unusual for this type of storm to damage our computer system or the Heating
and AirConditiong systems. Both of these systems are needed to operate our business.
The electrical system within the building had recieved an electrical surge, that could have destroyed both systems at once had it not been for the DE-SPIKE surge suppressors. We recommend this product
to any business or home. This product has saved this company a great amount of money and inconvenience.

Re: DE-SPIKE Unit
I was having very bad problems with electrical spikes after opening my Photo processing lab in June of 1985. The equipment
that we use has a computerized station that controls all of our operations. Two weeks after opening, my computer was completely
destroyed by an electrical spike.
I purchased the above mentioned unit, and since have had no problems with spikes and my equipment is operating very
well. The DE-SPIKE Unit has worked well and I am very pleased with my purchase.

The DE-SPIKE protectors that we have installed on both Fire Alarm
Systems and Computer Equipment have demonstrated great quality and proven to
protect our equipment time after time. I would like to thank you for the time spent
at our facilities in order to provide us with the protection needed.

After installing DE-SPIKE protectors on the power systems for our
computer room early in 1988 we have not had any down time due to power surges.
Thanks to DE-SPIKE we have eliminated the most serious of interrutions of service to our users.

The City of Savannah Water Operations Department purchased thirteen (13)
DS-240-3D units in the Spring of 1983 to alleviate problems with damaged electrical components experienced during electrical
storms or similar instances of high voltage spikes. To date the units have performed
satisfactorily. A review of the historical maintenance records indicated that no major electrical control or motor damage
had occurred since installation of these surge protection units.
In the business of public services, uninterrupted service to the customer is one of our main objectives. We are very
pleased with the field test performance of these units.

Our branch office experienced numerous problems on the multiset drive system due to severe weather problems in this
area.
During the summer of 1987 we installed DE-SPIKE as a test for our equipment. Since then, in spite of continuing severe
weather, we have not experienced any electrical problems on our computer system due to bad weather.
We recommend DE-SPIKE as preventative maintenance on sensitive computer equipment.

Approximately nine years ago I purchased a DE-SPIKE unit for my home.
At the time I had just installed an inground swimming pool. With additional water near my home I wanted the feeling of knowing
that my property was as safe as possible form lightning strikes. I have had no surge problems with lightning strikes since
purchasing the DE-SPIKE unit.
Last year I purchased a DE-SPIKE unit for my son's home. He was experiencing serious problems with lightning striking
his televisions and VCRs. He, likewise, has experienced no problems since having the
DE-SPIKE unit installed.
Of course we can never have absolute control over lightning strikes but with the DE-SPIKE unit I feel that I have the best possible protection for me, my family and my home. I would highly recommend
the DE-SPIKE unit to anyone wanting the satisfaction of knowing that you too have protected your family and property as best
you can.

We were first introduced to DE-SPIKE by a salesman that we regard as having the proper knowledge of sewer and water systems
and related maintenance. We told him we were having severe problems with one of our pumping stations. This being especially
in the summer time when lightning was frequent in our area. This problem had gotten to the proportion where we were having
to get up through the night and manually correct it for proper maintenance
As you know, sewer systems relating to backup and spillage is very hazardous and we have to keep close watch on it. Therefore
an alarm system is installed to notify us when a pumping station is not properly working.
We asked the salesman if he had any knowledge of a product that would correct our problem. Being from the hometown of the
manufacturer, he told us about DE-SPIKE, a new product that had just been developed. We ask him to contact the maufacturer
for us and that we would like to try one. If it worked, we would buy it and sevreral others for the City of Wrens. The next
week the Manufacturer's Rep. came by and told us about the unit and how to install it. We then contacted Georgia Power and
asked them if this was the proper installation and their thoughts on the unit. They advised us to go ahead and install it
to see if it would control the problem. This was in April 1982. We and Georgia Power monitored this unit for the next few
weeks. We found out it did solve our problems and have not had a reoccurence of the problem.
We then ordered DE-SPIKE units to go on our city water plant, computer systems and other locations. We are very pleased
with the performance of these units and this letter should be a testimonial to anyone that DE-SPIKE will control voltage problems.

We installed DE-SPIKE voltage suppressors in September 1982. The DE-SPIKE units have controlled electrical surges which
has lessened our down time with blown fuses. Obviously, this would be a monetary saving in maintenance labor and the cost
of the fuses. Reducing equipment down time also increases production.
I would reccomend the DE-SPIKE voltage suppressors for anyone with electrical circuitry.
