WARNING
DG2 (Internal Audible Alarm, Three Position Dry Relay Contact)
Units with “DG2” Option are equipped with an Audible Alarm and three position Dry Relay Contact.
To access the Dry Relay Contact (DRC) (If Used)
• REMOVE POWER FROM THE UNIT. Carefully remove lid.
• The three position DRC can be used for external or system “sensing” of this device. The N/O (Normally Open with Power
Applied) and COM or N/C (Normally Closed with Power Applied) and COM can be utilized. The contacts are rated as follows:
Max. switched power: 60W or 125 VA
Max. switched current: 2 A
Max. switched voltage: 250 VDC or 300 VAC
Max. carry current: 3A
• The contacts accept 24 AWG to 16 AWG wire. Wire size must be in compliance with NEC, State or Local codes for
power on circuit.
• Connections are “spring cage” terminals. Strip back wire to t inside terminal and use small device to push down
terminal and insert wire.
• After all connections have been made; replace and secure lid.
Alarm will sound and RED LED will turn on when there has been a failure of surge suppression components.

Units with “DG4” Option are equipped with an Audible Alarm, three position Dry Relay Contact, Alarm Switches,
and Surge Counter. To access the Dry Relay Contact (DRC); see section DG2 above.
NOTE: Alarm test functions can only be performed after the SPD has been installed, connected and powered up.
Operation of Alarm Switches:
• The Audible Alarm module switches consist of Alarm Mute; Alarm On, Alarm Test located on the lid of the SPD. All
buttons are operated by pressing down on the button.
• Once power is applied to the SPD, turn Alarm on by pushing down the Alarm On button.
• To ensure Alarm is activated, push down and hold Alarm Test button. Alarm should sound and RED LED should turn on.
If no Alarm or RED LED, push Alarm On Button; then re-test.
• To MUTE Alarm, press down and release Alarm Mute button
Surge Counter Operation:
• The Surge Counter requires NO SETUP. Once the surge protective device (SPD) has been installed and connected and
powered up; the surge counter provides automatic operation.
• The Surge Counter can be reset (set to zero count) by pressing the button located to the left of the counter.
• You can enable “High Level” Surge Counter operation to adjust the sensitivity to count higher voltage surges only. Refer to
Page 2 Instructions.

High Surge Counter Operation:
• Set switches 1 and 2 (High Surge) to the On position (as shown below). This will enable the “High Surge” variable level counting.
• By rotating the potentiometer counter clockwise to the settings shown below, you can adjust the sensitivity of the surge
counter to count higher voltage surges
