Installation Instructions
1. Preparation for Install of Surge Protection Device
(SPD)
A. Verify the system
voltage and wiring
conguration is the
same as the enclosed
SPD by checking it
against the product label
located on the side wall
of the enclosure.
B. Review the installation
area to ensure the
proper space is available
to properly mount and
install the SPD. The
enclosure should be
mounted no more than 3
feet away from the distribution panel.
C. Check that the buildings facility grounding system
meets all NEC & CEC requirements as well as local
codes. A low resistance ground system is essential to
the proper functioning of any SPD. The soil resistance
level should be no more than 25 ohms. This can be
veried by performing a soil resistivity test.
2. Location of Surge Protection Device (SPD)
A. For service entrance applications, install the SPD at
the main distribution panel on the load side after the
main disconnect.
B. For feeder/sub-panel applications, install the SPD
directly adjacent to the panelboard. Ensure that the
enclosure’s hinged door can be opened and closed
without interference from the surrounding area. This is
to provide internal access to the device if necessary.
IMPORTANT! Remember to keep conductor lead
length to a maximum of 3ft or less.
3. Wiring of Surge Protection Device (SPD)
A. TURN OFF the power to the distribution panel where
the SPD will be installed.
Optional: Install a circuit breaker to feed the SPD.
This will allow safety personnel to remove power from
the device in order to diagnose or service the unit. In
addition, the device incorporates internal fusing, UL &
CSA approved, that will protect against short circuit
fault conditions within the unit.
B. See Table 2 for recommended breaker/fuse
according to wire AWG specied for installation type.
C. Install either a rigid or exible metal conduit between
the SPD and the distribution panel.
D. Run wires from distribution panelboard to SPD - See
wiring diagrams for details.
E. Ensure proper color codes: Table 1
F. Tighten and recheck all connections.
G. If remote monitoring is employed, connect the
form “C” contacts to the building monitor system or
independent alarm, i.e. addressable relay. Contact
relays will accept up to 1A/220 VAC. The dry contact
terminals are N.O. (normally open), N.C. (normally
closed) and COM (common), Diagram 1.
NOTES: Check wiring before applying power.
