ASCO Model 146 (Edco PLP-S Series)
Surge Protective Device (SPD)
Introduction The ASCO Model 146 helps to protect your equipment from harmful power
surges and transients.
Model 146 provides isolated power loop circuit protection in applications
where higher current is required, such as re alarm and security systems.
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
• Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe
electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E, NOM-029-STPS or CSA Z462.
• This equipment must only be installed and serviced by qualied electri-
cal personnel.
• Turn o󰀨 all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside
equipment.
• Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to conrm power is o󰀨.
• Replace all devices, doors and covers before turning on power to this
equipment.
• This equipment must be e󰀨ectively grounded per all applicable codes.
Use an equipment-grounding conductor to connect this equipment to the
power system ground.
• Do not supply more than 7A AC to Surge Protective Device
• Conrm that the Surge Protective Device voltage rating on the module
or nameplate label is not less than the operating voltage.
• This equipment must be installed indoor on loop circuits which have
been isolated from Public Switched Telephone Networks. The loop
circuits shall not be exposed to accidental contact with electric light or
power conductors, (National Electric Code, Article 800).
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including
DINP, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, and
DIDP which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects
or other reproductive harm. For more information go to: www.
P65Warnings.ca.gov.
NOTICE
LOSS OF SURGE SUPPRESSION
• Make certain that Surge Protective Device is disconnected from the
circuit it is protecting before conducting high potential insulation testing.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Installation 1. Turn o󰀨 all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside
equipment.
2. Conrm that the unit has the same voltage rating and conguration as
the power system voltage and power system voltage to which it will be
connected.
3. This SPD has mounting feet provided with two holes,3/16 diameter,
spaced 3.5 apart. Using two screws or bolts (size #6 to #10) install the
unit and cables as close as possible to the protected equipment and
secure.
4. Connect a 12 - 16 AWG ground wire using a crimp-on ring terminal from
the SPD ground terminal to the equipment chassis ground.
5. Complete the circuit by connecting cables from the load of the SPD to
the protected equipment.
6. Check that all connections are secure. Remove all tools and discarded
hardware from the unit.
7. Replace the barrier, cover/door and/or trim to the equipment.
8. Equipment may be re-energized after all the above steps are complete.
