Safety Information
Important Information
Read these instructions carefully and look at the equipment to become
familiar with the device before trying to install, operate, service or maintain it.
The following special messages may appear throughout thisbulletin or on the
equipment to warn of potential hazards or to call attention to information that
clarifies or simplifies a procedure.
The addition of either symbol to a “Danger”or “Warning” safety label
indicates that an electrical hazard exists which will result inpersonal
injury if the instructions are not followed.
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential

Precautions
Precautions
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.
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.

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.
At end-of-life conditions, Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) can lose their
ability to suppress power system transient voltage spikes and attempt to
draw excessive current from the line. This SPD is equipped with overcurrent
and overtemperature components that will automatically disconnect the
surge suppression elements from the mains should the surge suppression
elements reach end of life. Tripping of the branch circuit breaker or fuse
feeding the SPD can occur. Mitigate the tripping of the branch circuit breaker
or fuse feeding the SPD by coordinating the surge suppression elements
with the branch circuits.

ASCO 350 Surge Protective Device (SPD)
Introduction
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
• Do not energize the surge protective device until the electrical system is
completely installed, inspected and tested.
• Ensure all conductors are connected and functional.
• Verify the voltage rating of the device and system prior to energizing.
• Perform high-potential insulation testing, or any other tests where surge
protective device components will be subjected to voltages higher than
their rated turn-on voltage, with the neutral and surge protective device
disconnected from the power source
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
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
electrical 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.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
The ASCO Model 350 surge protective device is a surge current diversion
system designed for use with equipment that is sensitive to damaging
transient voltage surges.

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. All wiring must comply with the National Electrical Code
(NEC) and applicable local codes.
• 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.
• For proper operation, neutral and ground must be reliably connected.
Improper grounding will reduce or impede operation, and may result in
damage to the SPD.
• Conrm that the Surge Protective Device voltage rating on the module
or nameplate label is not less than the operating voltage.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
Read all instructions before starting the installation of this product. These
instructions do not replace national or local electrical code.
The unit is designed for operation indoors in ambient temperatures of 0ºC
(+32ºF) to +50ºC (+122ºF) with a relative humidity of 0% to 95% (non-con-
densing). The unit is provided in an industrial enclosure. Do not install in ar-
eas with excessive dust, corrosive vapors, ammable materials or explosive
atmospheres.
Mount unit as close as possible to the service panel in close proximity to
the breaker that will power the SPD. Use #10 (NEMA 12) or #6 (NEMA 1)
mounting hardware. To maximize performance, keep wire length to the surge
protective device (SPD) as short as possible.
#12 AWG wiring is provided with unit. To reduce the wiring impedance to
surge currents, the phase, neutral (if required), and ground conductors
are recommended to be twisted together and routed in the same raceway
(conduit).
Feed all wires into the panel through the knockout selected and secure the
conduit connection.

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
• Do not supply more than 125VAC or 5 Amps to contacts.
• Conrm that the Surge Protective Device voltage rating on the module
or nameplate label is not less than the operating voltage.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
ASCO 350 Surge Protective Device (SPD)
Installation
Before making connections to the unit, verify the unit model number and
nameplate voltage rating are appropriate for connection to the power source
(See table).
1. Turn o󰀨 all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside
equipment.
2. It is recommended that a circuit breaker be used for installation and
connection to the service panel. See pages 9-10 for recommended
amperage.
3. Connect the white wire (if provided) of the SPD to the neutral of the
supply, and connect the green wire (if provided) of the SPD to source
ground.
4. Connect each Black Phase Wire to corresponding phase on the service
panel.
5. If the relay contact wires for remote sensing are not used, secure and
insulate the wires so they do not interfere with operation.
6. Replace the barrier, cover/door and/or trim to the equipment.
7. Equipment may be re-energized after all the above steps are complete.
If using remote sensing, these wires are connected to COM (orange),
NC (blue), and NO (yellow) respectively.
Relay’s maximum switching capacity is 24V, 2A.
Apply power to the SPD and check status indications are normal. The
NEMA 1 unit status light will be “green” for normal operation. The NEMA
12 unit status lights will be “green” and the red “service” indicator will
be o󰀨 for normal operation. If normal status indicators do not exist, see
“TROUBLESHOOTING”.

DANGER
If any of the diagnostic indicators indicates a problem (i.e. red LED ON, and/
or green LED OUT), check all connections and voltages to the unit. If all
connections are acceptable, and proper voltages are supplied to the unit, to
