MT-BPTSERIES-3/18
The BPT Series is a Transient Protection System that provides heavy-duty
surge protection and ltering for industrial and commercial sites against the
harmful eects of transient energies induced on AC power lines. The BPT’s unique
construction allows it to deliver low clamping voltages while safely handling
large surge currents. Congured for parallel installation, units install quickly and
easily. All models are suitable for Type 1 or Type 2 service panel applications.
On-board diagnostics include a panel display equipped with LED indicators that
continuously monitor the operational status of the entire unit. An Audible
Alarm is standard with switch positions for test, disable and enable. A Surge
Counter and a set of NO/NC dry contacts are also standard. A Remote Monitor
and/or Filter are available as options.
Weather Resistant models available in a NEMA 4X housing with internal
diagnostics for harsh environments. Audible Alarm and Surge Counter are not
included with the NEMA 3R model.

MOUNTING INFORMATION
NOTE: BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION,
MEASURE THE LINE VOLTAGE WITH AN AC
VOLTMETER TO ENSURE THE CORRECT DEVICE
HAS BEEN SELECTED FOR THE APPLICATION. L-N/G
VOLTAGE SHOULD NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
CONTINUOUS OPERATING VOLTAGE (MCOV) LISTED
ON THE SPD LABEL.
1. When mounting the BPT SERIES SPD, use the four
mounting holes.
2. Place the SPD as close as possible to the connection point
in the NEMA enclosure. Keeping the lead length short will
increase the performance of the unit.
3. Drill a hole in the BPT for the conduit to run the wires from
the distribution panel to the connecting lugs inside the SPD.
Installation is simplied if the wires enter the enclosure at the top
(see gure #2) of the enclosure.
4. Securely mount the TVSS unit using 1/4-20 bolts in the
four (4) mounting holes provided in the enclosure’s mounting
anges.
NOTE: IF YOU CHOOSE TO MOUNT THE BPT UNIT,
OBSERVE ALL SAFETY PROCEDURES APPLICABLE FOR
A LIVE METER SOCKET OR ELECTRICAL PANEL.
NOTE: SPLICING WIRES TO GAIN EXTRA LEAD LENGTH
IS NOT ADVISABLE AS THE EXTRA LEAD LENGTH WILL
DEGRADE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE DEVICE.
WORKING NEAR EXPOSED LIVE CONDUCTORS IS
HAZARDOUS. POWER SHOULD BE SECURED OR
APPROPRIATE ELECTRICAL SAFETY EQUIPMENT
SHOULD BE USED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT
POSSIBLE BEFORE CONNECTING.
STATUS INDICATORS:
GREEN LEDs: When the SPD is securely connected and
operating properly, the GREEN LEDs, under the headings “ØA”,
“ØB”, “ØC”, will be illuminated. No other indicator should be
illuminated if the unit is operating normally.
RED LED: If a problem develops with the internal monitoring
circuitry or in the unlikely event that there should be a loss or
reduction in the protection elements, the RED LED over the
words “SYSTEM FAULT” will illuminate.
YELLOW LED: If the YELLOW LED illuminates, at any time,
there could be a hazardous system wiring fault. The YELLOW
LED does not indicate a suppressor failure; however, it does
signal that there may be dangerous Neutral to Ground Voltages
present. Consult with a qualied electrician to verify the integrity
of the installation’s wiring. (Not present on Delta Congurations)
AUDIBLE ALARM: The alarm will sound if protection should
be lost on either the L-N or L-G modes. Control of the alarm
is managed with a switch located on the front panel next to the
alarm. The switch has three (3) settings: Up (momentary only)
for testing, which will sound the alarm; Center, this is the disable
position and turns the alarm o󰀨; And Down, this enables the
alarm and sets it for contact monitoring.
OPTIONAL COUNTER: The Optional Surge Counter will show
the number of transient events that the suppressor encounters.
Control of the Surge Counter is managed with a switch located to
the left of the counter display. The switch has three (3) settings:
Up (momentary only), for RESET; Center, this is the ENABLE
position and turns the Counter on and sets it for constant
monitoring; And Down (momentary only), this tests the Coun-
ter and will increase the count by 1 increment each time it is
activated.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE:
There is little or no troubleshooting required for this series of
products.
PROBLEM:
1. No Front Panel Diagnostics or improper operations:
Ensure the SPD unit is properly connected to the AC Service
Panel and that all connections are secure.
Conrm that the breaker in the AC supply panel is in the ON
position.
2. If problem still persists: TURN OFF BREAKER, open the
SPD door and verify that all VISIBLE cable connections are prop-
erly secured, no loose wires. This is especially critical for the
connectors on the Sensor Cable as they interface with the RPM
Modules.
In the unlikely event that these measures have failed to correct
the problem, contact your dealer or the factory for additional
information.

GENERAL
1. This document provides detailed information on how to install and operate the BPT Series of Surge Protection Devices (SPD)
2. Locate a position to mount the SPD that will minimize the length of connecting wires required. SPD’s should be
located as close as possible to the AC panel or service area. Mount the units using the mounting holes provided on the
enclosure as shown by the illustrations in these instructions. It is recommended that conduit, preferably metallic, be
utilized to accomplish this connection.
3. The BPT Series is installed and connected in parallel (“shunt”) across the AC supply to be protected. Connecting wires
do not carry the supply current, only the short duration currents associated with the suppression of a transient event.
4. Identied or indicated leads/wires must be connected exactly with respect to the AC Power feeding the SPD. Failure
to do so may result in damage to the device or post a danger to personnel.
5. Installation of this device should only be performed by a qualied licensed installer. Incorrect installation may
siginicantly impair the performance of the Surge Protection Device. It is particularly important that all installation
procedures and guidelines be followed exactly.
6. Before starting any installation procedures, verify service voltages with an AC voltmeter to ensure that the correct SPD
model has been selected.
7. Check to ensure that all connections are correct and secure before energizing.
8. Keep this manual in a safe, dry place for future reference.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
Before starting the installation, measure the Line voltage with an AC voltmeter to ensure the correct device has been
selected for the current application. The MCOV (maximum continuous operating voltage) CANNOT exceed the
maximum limits for the following service voltages:
120VAC = 150MCOV
220VAC = 320MCOV
230VAC = 320MCOV
240VAC = 320MCOV
277VAC = 320MCOV
480VAC = 550MCOV
