Mechanical and electrical features:
An electronic alarm circuit is included on all product models.
This circuit monitors the integrity of the SPD and alerts the
user, using audible and visual means, in the event of failure.
The circuit is directly powered from the power system to
which the SPD is connected. A flashing green LED indicates
that it is operational. Upon failure of any of the MOVs in the
SPD, an intermittent audible chirp is emitted and the green
LED will change to a flashing red LED. If the user presses the
alarm silence switch/button, the audible chirp is silenced, but
the flashing red LED will remain. This is to warn the user that
the SPD has failed (and needs to be replaced) even though
the alarm has been silenced. Pressing the alarm silence
switch/button again will re-engage the audible chirp.
The Siemens BSPD surge protector will fit any location that will accept either a Siemens -pole or -pole BL/BQD type breaker,
or (with the included adapter) any location an xGB or VA type breaker will fit. Note: Each SPD comes with an adapter. There
are two surge protector types (see Figure ): -  Pole for Single Phase systems, -  Pole for Three Phase systems.
Kit # BSPDXGB is available in case the xGB/VA adapter is lost or damaged. This kit contains  each of the -pole and -pole
adapters.

BSPDxx Series Installation Instructions

Installation Procedure:
. This device is suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering
not more than kA rms symmetrical amperes.
. Turn off and lockout the power to the panelboard in which
the device is to be installed.
. Remove the panelboard/load center cover/deadfront.
. If installing onto the xGB/VA barrier, install supplied
mounting adapter (Figure ).
. Place SPD in position, aligning to bus as shown (Figure a and b).
. Utilizing the screws provided with the panelboard, attach
the SPD’s line terminals to the panelboard bus. Torque the
screws per panelboard specifications, or - lbs-in.
. On a single phase or -phase Wye voltage system, connect
the white pigtail wire from the SPD unit to the neutral bus
bar, making the wire as straight and short as possible.
Torque per panelboard markings, or - lbs-in.
Note: If the user is connecting the WYE SPD unit to the ground
bus bar in order to change/increase the modes of protection or
increase the surge current capacity, wrap the white wire with
green electrical tape as per code.
. On a Delta voltage system, connect the green pigtail wire from
the SPD unit to the ground bus bar, making the wire as straight
and short as possible. Torque per panelboard markings, or
- lbs-in.
. On a Hi-leg Delta system make sure that the middle contact
of the SPD matches the B-phase (center bus).
. The remote contacts (VAC A; VDC .A) are factory
configured series/parallel with all modules interconnected to
a single connector for ease of monitoring the status of the
suppressor.
. A typical application circuit for the remote contacts is shown
in Figure , where a power source can be used to turn off a
circuit or remote alarm in the event of suppressor failure (or
turn-on a circuit/alarm).
. Replace the panelboard cover/deadfront and restore panelboard
power.
. Verify that the green indicator light is flashing for all BSPDs installed.
