a. Verify the system voltage and wiring conguration is the same as the enclosed model HxC 100/300/400 by checking it against the
product label located on the front cover of the enclosure.
b. Review the installation area to ensure the proper space is available to properly mount and install the HxC 100/300/400. 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 surge suppression device. The soil resistance level should be no more than 25 ohms. This
can be veried by performing a soil resistivity test.
a. For service entrance applications, install the suppressor at the main distribution panel on the load side after the main disconnect. 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 minimum; 3ft or less.
b. For Feeder/Sub-panel applications, install the suppressor 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 minimum; 3ft or less.
a. TURN OFF the power to the distribution panel where the model HxC 100/300/400 will be installed.
b. Install a circuit breaker to feed the model HxC 100/300/400 surge suppressor. 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.
c. Install either a rigid or exible metal conduit between the model HxC 100/300/400 and the distribution panel.
d. Run wires from the distribution panelboard to the terminals of the model HxC 100/300/400.
e. Strip the ends of the wire and terminate within the model HxC 100/300/400 terminals and panelboard.

f. Ensure proper color codes:
g. Tighten and re-check all connections.
h. 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/220VAC. The dry contact terminals are N.O. (normally open), N.C. (normally closed) and COM
(common).
i. Switch MAIN power ON. Check all front panel indicator lamps for illumination.

NOTES
To run a test of the relay contact by turning MAIN power OFF and then back ON.
a. Wire TVSS to Service Panel - Minimize conductor lead length by cutting back excess cabling. Recommended lead length is less than 3 feet.
In addition, conductors should be tightly taped together for the entire run. Refer to gure 1 for connecting surge suppressor to AC power
network.
b. Circuit Breakers - A circuit breaker should be coordinated to protector wire size. The primary function of this breaker is to provide a
means of removing power from the unit for maintenance. The circuit breakers will not trip during normal surge suppression since the
response time of the circuit breaker is much longer than the duration of a transient voltage.
