Diagnostic Operation
•LED ON = Normal operation
(see Figure 4)
•LED OFF (one or more) = Fault.
Check phase voltage, circuit
breakers and connections.
If OK replace TVSS unit and all
associated fuses and fuseholders.
•If fuses open, replace TVSS unit
and all associated fuses and
fuseholders.

INSTALLATION
1. Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside
enclosure containing this equipment.
2. See Figure 1, 2 for mounting instructions.
NOTE: The surge protective device must be installed in an accessible location
(not within walls).
3. Confirm the SPD is rated for your system by comparing voltage
measurements to the Line Voltage (L-L, L-N) on the product label.
4. Install in accordance with National and Local Electric Codes and match
branch circuit breakers to the size of wire being used (#10AWG, up to 30 A).
5. Confirm that the electrical terminals used to attach this device are
identified for these conductors.
6. Install class CC fuses (provided) into fuse holders, if they are not already
installed (See Figure 3). Do not substitute fuse, use only the provided
class CC 30 type fuses.
NOTE: These protectors or fuses do not replace the need for branch circuit
protection as stated in step 4 above.
7. Twist conductors 1/2 turn or more for every 12 inches of length.
8. Keep conductor length as short as possible with no sharp bends.
9. Do not loop or coil wires. Be sure to maintain adequate wire bending space
per NFPA 70 2002 Edition, article 408.35.
10. Use on solidly grounded systems only.
11. Install cover and/or close door on equipment.
12. Apply power. If all three lights not on, go to diagnostic operation.

LOSS OF OVERVOLTAGE SURGE PROTECTION.
• Operation or opening of a provided CC fuse indicates a loss of protection in
the T80 product.
• Always replace the T80 product when replacing provided CC fuses.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
