MT-TSTSERIES-3/18
The TST Series of SPDs (surge protection devices) are designed to protect
sensitive electronic equipment from the harmful effects of transients.
Models are congured for both parallel or series installation and can be either
din rail or wall mounted. Units are rated as Type 2 SPDs component
assembly making the TST Series the ideal choice for incorporation into control
cabinets for sensitive microelectronic based equipment.
TST units are self-contained in rugged plastic enclosures and use twenty
millimeter (20mm) MOVs as their key suppression elements. Units are not
line load sensitive and interface with the incoming power cables via screw
terminals (barrier strips):
Small Terminals are capable of handling #14 to #30 AWG Wire.
Large Terminals are capable of handling #6 to #20 AWG Wire.

FUTURE REFERENCE.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
NOTICE: All instructions and measurements must be
completed by a qualied electrician in accordance with
the National Electric Code and/or other applicable state
and local codes. The U.S. National Electric Code
and/or applicable state/local requirements supersede
these instructions.
CAUTION: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES
PRESENT
Improper installation or misapplication of these SPD’s
may result in serious injury to the installer and/or damage
to electrical system(s) or related equipment. Read and
understand all instructions before commencing with the
installation. Appropriate personal protective equipment
should be worn during the installation process.
COMMERCIAL INSTALLATIONS

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR: NOTE
SPD’s must be connected to the electrical service with appropriate ampacity Class T Fuse, rated 300V. Equipment Safety
Grounds MUST be run separately - not through the traces of the Surge Protection Device.
WARNING
ANY ALTERATIONS, TAMPERING, MISUSE OR UNAUTHORIZED REPAIRS OF THIS SPD WILL VOID ITS
ORIGINAL FACTORY WARRANTY.
INSTALLATION
1. This document provides detailed information on how to install and operate the TST Series of Surge Protecion Devices (SPDs).
2. SPD’s should be installed per the information and illustrations provided herein.
3. SPD’s are installed/connected in either series or parallel with the line and the equipment to be protected.
4. Identied or indicated Leads/Wires must be connected exactly with respect to the power feeding/supplying the SPD and
equipment. Failure to do so may result in damage to the SPD, the equipment/system or pose a danger to personnel.
5. Incorrect installation may signicantly impair the performance of the SPD. It is particularly important that all installation
procedures and guidelines be followed exactly.
6. Prior to installation, verify service voltages (AC or DC) with a volt meter to ensure that the correct model has been
selected for the supply voltage.
7. DO NOT INSTALL THE SPD IF MEASURED VOLTAGE EXCEEDS UNIT RATINGS.
8. The SPD MUST BE mounted in an enclosure to assure personnel safety from exposed terminals.
9. REMOVE POWER FROM ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.
10. The SPD should be positioned as the last device in the circuit prior to protected equipment.
11. The SPD Line/Load designations are for orientation purposes only and do not e󰀨ect the install.
12. Mechanically mount the SPD utilizing the mounting tabs or attach the din rail.
13. For Series (AC) Applications
A) Connect “LINE” Side:
* System Ground to the terminal labeled “G”
* Neutral or Line 2 wire to the terminal labeled “L2”
* HOT wire to the terminal labeled “L1”
B) Connect “LOAD” Side:
* System Ground to the terminal labeled “G” (connect safety ground directly to enclosure ground)
* Neutral or Line 2 wire to the terminal labeled “L2”
* HOT wire to the terminal labeled “L1”
14. For parallel (AC) Applications, keeping lead as short as possible
* System Ground to the terminal labeled “G”
* Neutral or Line 2 wire to the terminal labeled “L2”
* HOT wire to the terminal labeled “L1”
NOTE: In parallel applications, SPD’s are not current limited as they are in series applications. For parallel applications,
unused output terminals are left empty, no plugs are provided.
15. ENSURE THAT ALL CONNECTIONS ARE CORRECT BEFORE ENERGIZING.
16. Apply power (energize). LED indicator should illuminate. If light fails to illuminate, contact supplier. If LED is out, unit
requires service.
17. Keep this MANUAL in a safe dry place for future reference.
