WARNING: THIS DEVICE IS NOT A LIGHTNING ARRESTOR. IT WILL NOT
SURVIVE LIGHTNING STRIKES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE PREMISES
OR SUSTAINED OVERVOLTAGES.
WARNING: ELECTROCUTION AND FATAL OR SERIOUS INJURY AND
PROPERTY DAMAGE CAN RESULT FROM FAULTY INSTALLATION.
OTHER CAUTIONS AND NOTES:
1. USE THIS DEVICE ONLY WITH COPPER OR COPPER CLAD WIRE.
WITH ALUMINUM WIRE USE ONLY DEVICES MARKED CO/ALR OR
CU/AL.
2. DO NOT OPERATE AT ALTITUDES EXCEEDING 2000 METERS.
3. OPERATE INDOORS BETWEEN 30-90% RELATIVE HUMIDITY.
4. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE 57000 TVSS PANEL PROTECTION
SYSTEM BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
TO INSTALL:
1. WARNING: TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH; TURN OFF POWER
AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND TEST THAT THE POWER IS OFF
BEFORE WIRING!
2. Identify the device or load to be protected: The 57000 Panel should
be located as close as possible to the electrical panel serving the load to
be protected in order to minimize connection lead length resistance and
inductance.

3. Identify the electrical system in use (Delta or WYE system voltage):
Matching TVSS module and line voltages is critical! Identify the system in
use by measuring L-N and L-L voltages.
CAUTION: VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS CAN BE DANGEROUS
TO LIFE AND/OR PROPERTY! Confirm that the MAXIMUM measured
voltages DO NOT exceed the AC RMS Voltage Rating specified on the
57000 Replaceable Modules, or damage may occur to the modules. See
Figs. 1-3.
4. Cutting Access Holes: Cut holes for conduit in panel using approved
metal cutting tools. Prevent any metallic filings from remaining inside the
Page 3

panel. If any metallic filings enter panel, care must be exercised to remove
them using a vacuum device or other tools, as required.
Mount securely: Refer to the “Panel Mounting” instruction sheet
(enclosed).

Conduit Installation: Conduit should be installed with lock nut and
bushing. Lock nut should be adjusted so that bushing secures properly,
and conduit and bushing extend as little as possible into enclosure.
5. Connections: With the line POWER OFF, remove Terminal Block Cover
and connect leads using the largest stranded wire size possible (#10 to
#3 AWG, stranded) as illustrated in the wiring diagrams. Screw terminal
torque requirements: #10 AWG (35 in.-lbs.), #8 AWG (40 in.-lbs.),
#3 - #6 AWG (45 in.-lbs.).
Connecting wire lengths from the circuit breaker panel to the 57000’s
terminal block should be minimal (less than 18” if possible). Power leads
may be connected to L1, L2, and L3 without regard to phase A, B, or C.
Figs. 4 and 5 illustrate two methods for connection lead attachment.
Cat. No. 57000-M3S series provide a disconnect switch which may be
used in the installation. See Method 3, Fig. 6.
In Method 1, Fig. 4, the TVSS Panel provides a feed through connection
between the circuit breaker panel and a load.
NOTE: Maximum wire size is #3 AWG stranded.
This feed through hookup provides the best connection with regard
to surge protection for the dedicated load. This type of connection is
desirable when the branch feeds sensitive loads that need to be protected,
such as a computer room or an area of electronic instrumentation. Note
that protection components are in parallel with any loads.

The TVSS Panel should be mounted as close as possible to the circuit
breaker panel to provide maximum surge protection to other branches fed
by other circuit breakers within the circuit breaker panel. It should be noted
that during installation or maintenance of the 57000 TVSS Panel, the circuit
breakers which feed the 57000 must be opened, therefore power to the
load will be momentarily disconnected.
NOTE: The load current is limited to wire size in use, but must not
exceed 100 Amps, maximum continuous current.
In Method 2, Fig. 5, the TVSS Panel is connected through dedicated
circuit breakers of 30 amps. For maximum surge protection, the TVSS
Panel should be mounted as close as possible (no more than 18 inches)
from the circuit breaker panel. Use wire size #10 to #3 AWG, stranded.
In a variation of this connection, the panel circuit breakers can also feed
a load by connecting the TVSS panel to the circuit within an approved
connection enclosure. In this case, the circuit breakers must be rated for
this load. The TVSS panel should be connected to these breakers through
a 30-amp rated (minimum), 3-pole disconnect switch. This facilitates TVSS
disconnection for installation or maintenance without interrupting power to
the load.
In Method 3, Fig. 6, for Cat. No. 57000-M3S series, the SPD provides
an integrated disconnect switch. This hook-up provides a method to
interrupt the electrical power to the panel. The series connection should
not be used with this hook-up. When the disconnect switch is turned OFF,
power is removed from the terminal blocks located immediately above
the modules. The disconnect screw terminals accept #14 - #8 AWG wire.
Maximum screw terminal torque is 35 in.-lbs.
6. Conduit attachment: A 2-inch hole in the enclosure is recommended to be
used for In-Out conduit connection.
CAUTION: THE ENCLOSURE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED BY
USE OF #10 AWG MINIMUM SIZE COPPER WIRE ROUTED TO THE “G”
TERMINAL LUG.
7. Attaching the connection leads - TVSS to power lines:
CAUTION: THE FOLLOWING INSTALLATION SHOULD BE
PERFORMED WITH THE POWER OFF! ALWAYS TURN OFF POWER
BEFORE WORKING ON THE TVSS PANEL, SUCH AS WHEN
CHANGING FUSES AND INSERTING OR REMOVING REPLACEABLE
MODULES.

The ground terminal within the TVSS Panel is connected to the metal
enclosure. For isolated ground systems, the isolated ground wire should not
be connected to the In-Out ground terminals. However, as indicated in step
5, the enclosure must be grounded via a ground conductor to the ground
terminal. With the power OFF, connect phase leads to L1, L2, and L3
without regard to phase A, B, or C. Connect the neutral, for WYE systems,
to the neutral terminal. Connect ground to ground terminal. Figs. 4 and 5
illustrate alternate connection systems which use circuit breakers (either
dedicated or load sharing), or a disconnect switch. Connection leads should
be cut to length and wrapped. Avoid sharp bends. Lead wire insulation
should not be cut or damaged except to expose ends for connection.
8. Remote connection:
• Relay status circuit and contacts rated at 5 Amps. The voltage rating is
250VAC/30VDC. Contacts accommodate 20-12 AWG wire secured to
terminals using 3.5 in.-lbs. of torque. Wiring must be rated 600 VAC,
dressed and secured away from live parts and protected from sharp
edges and door entrapment. Hole must be cut in enclosure for conduit
connection. If surge protection fails, continuity will be between the “NO”
and “C” contacts.
NOTE: If surge suppression failure has occurred, a transient surge
has exceeded the rating of the module and it should be replaced
immediately.

Table 1 - Diagnostic Indicator Functions:
List of the diagnostic functions of the 57000 series
panels.

• A 7/8 inch hole cut on the hinged side of the enclosure is recommended
for the Remote Supervisor Panel connections. See Remote Supervisor
Panel instructions for its connection method.
9. Battery Installation: A 9-Volt alkaline battery is included in the shipping
carton. The purpose of the 9-Volt battery is to power the diagnostic warning
circuitry in the event of a power failure or multiple fuse failures. Remove the
battery holder from the diagnostic assembly. Insert the 9-Volt battery (be
sure to follow the polarity markings on the battery compartment), and slide
the battery holder back in.
10. Secure modules and replace terminal block cover. Be certain all TVSS
Modules are tightly in place and remove any extra materials. Close and
secure enclosure cover door before applying power.
11. Activate the system by turning AC power ON: The 6 Green
Module Status lights should be illuminated and visible through the ports
in the enclosure door, and all other lights should be OFF. If problems
are encountered that can not be resolved using the Problem Isolation
Procedure printed on the inside of the enclosure door, contact Leviton
Technical Support: 1-800-648-3332.
12. Diagnostic Test: Press and hold down the test button. The Red warning
indicator should blink, the audible tone signal should beep, the Yellow low
battery light should illuminate, and the Remote Supervisor Panel warning
indicator, if wired in, will be activated. Release the test button.
13. Surge Counter Test: If the 57000 Panel has a LCD surge counter on it’s
front panel, press it’s “Reset” switch, then the “Test” switch. The display
should register surge counts each time the “Test” switch is depressed.
The “Reset” switch should be depressed whenever the LCD display is at
a maximum (the LCD unit’s red LED will be illuminated). “Reset” may be
depressed anytime to clear the display.
