Thank You for choosing the ASCO Power Technologies Active Surge Monitor package with your Surge Protective
Device. ASCO Power Technologies Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) are high quality, high energy surge current
diversion system designed to help protect sensitive equipment from damaging transient voltage surges resulting
from load switching, lightning strikes and other sources.
ASCO Power Technologies makes it easy to monitor your electrical system by integrating its advanced Active Surge
Monitor package within its SPDs. The web-based device allows the end-user real time power quality measurements,
logged events, statistical summaries and premium power protection.
Please read all instructions before starting the installation of this product. These instructions do not replace national
or local electrical codes — check applicable codes to ensure compliance.
This Quick-Start Guide provides general information pertaining to the installation & operation of the SPD
monitoring system. For detailed installation & operation instructions, refer to the full manual (document # IO-
70109).
For general SPD installation instructions, reference the installation manual provided with your SPD.
The ASCO Active Surge Monitor system measures, displays and logs the following parameters/events:

NOTICE
LOSS OF BRANCH CIRCUIT POWER / LOSS OF SURGE SUPPRESSION
• Perform periodic inspection of the surge protective device status indicator lights as part of the preventative maintenance schedule.
• Promptly replace the surge protective device when an alarm state exists.
• Use dry contacts to signal an alarm state to the central supervisory system for unmanned, inaccessible, or critical installations.
• Use multiple surge protective devices to achieve redundancy for critical applications.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
DANGER
• Phase Loss/Outage
• Voltage Interruption/Dropout
• Overvoltage
• Temporary Overvoltage (TOV)
• Voltage Harmonics (VTHD)

Default Settings - Locate the system IP settings on the “Home” and “Networking” screens.
The factory default IP configurations are as follows:
IP Address: 192.168.1.10
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
In most cases, the user will need
settings other than this. If so, please
follow instructions detailed below
(Manually Assigning IP Settings). If
more than one Active Surge Monitor
system is on a network, each unit will
need a unique IP address. Fixed IP
addresses for each unit in a network
should be obtained from the network
administrator. Each unit should have
the same Mask and GWay as the
network server.
Manually Assigning IP Settings
The Metering system IP setting can be manually set using the system webpage. See section 5.4.3
Configuration - Network Settings for further information.
