Start with the model number printed on the unit. Home-panel, generator, vehicle, and portable devices have different applications. Use the instructions and warranty that match the exact model and revision.

Request the installation instructions
Before installing or specifying a device, send Prepper Hideout the model number and a photo of the label. We can help identify the applicable instructions. Have a qualified electrician review work on building panels or generator circuits. For a vehicle, have the installer check the device’s fit with the vehicle’s electrical system. A different model’s manual can describe a different application.
What the published testing covers
Keystone Compliance report 1902-051E, Revision B, approved April 2, 2019, identifies the tested equipment and configurations in the report. Its results apply to those setups. A test result for a device does not establish how an entire house, vehicle, or connected system would perform. Our review of EMP Shield test evidence explains what the report can support. Ask us for the report and its applicability if you need to check a specific model.
Request written warranty terms
Check the terms for your model and purchase before relying on any coverage. Have the model, purchase date, receipt, and installation record ready when you contact Prepper Hideout. Ask which events, exclusions, registration steps, and claim deadlines apply.
Compare Faraday bags and enclosures
Match the enclosure’s internal dimensions and closure to the equipment you intend to store. Start with Faraday bags or Faraday tents and enclosures. For signal-blocking checks and what they can establish, see our Faraday bag testing guide. If the equipment must remain connected while enclosed, ask about a configuration designed for that use.
Check electrical fit before ordering
- SP-120-240-W is the externally mounted model for a 120/240 V single-phase panel. The 3P-120-208-W is for a 120/208 V three-phase panel. Have the electrician confirm the voltage and phase from the equipment labels.
- SP-120-240-G is the hardwired generator model. Send the generator model and transfer-switch details so your electrician can check the output and installation instructions.
- DC-12V-W and DC-12V-MICRO are 12 V vehicle models. Give your installer the vehicle year, make, model, and battery-system details.
- EXT-120 plugs into a compatible 120 V receptacle and applies to the energized leg where it’s connected. If the installation requires GFCI protection, have an electrician confirm whether this device is appropriate and keep the required protection in place.
EMP Shield documents by application
Match model, voltage, phase, and intended installation. Have a qualified electrician confirm the applicable instructions for a panel or generator.
EXT-120 plug-in unit
Use the plug-in model instructions and check the outlet type and requirements for your RV or portable installation.
120/240 V and 120/208 V panel models
The installation PDF covers multiple panel types. Select the diagram for the unit’s voltage and phase. The written warranty describes product-specific coverage and how to make a claim.
DC-12V-W and DC-12V-MICRO
This guide covers the two 12 V vehicle models. Confirm whether the standard or Micro enclosure suits the mounting space and install only on a compatible 12 V system.
SP-120-240-G generator model
Use the dedicated generator document and have your installer check the model, electrical configuration and equipment grounding.
