WARNING
I the unit with contacts closed ails to trip when test button
is pressed (Green light ails to extinguish), the device is not
operating properly and should be returned to the point o
purchase or replacement (see warranty in ormation).
I the product tests properly without a load applied, but trips
each time the RV load is applied, a current leakage exists
and should be repaired or replaced as soon as possible (see
warranty in ormation). DO NOT BYPASS THE SURGE
GUARD IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS. A REAL SHOCK
HAZARD MAY EXIST.
IMPORTANT NOTE
The Surge Guard Model 44750 will provide protection even i
there is a break in the ground wire in the supply power circuit
or the internal circuit in the RV.
CAUTION
Do not connect any electrical cord longer than 250 eet to
the Surge Guard to avoid the possibility o nuisance tripping.
This device is to be used on electrical distribution systems
120V/30A (RV30) 60Hz only.
Ground ault circuit interrupters do not protect against
electrical shock resulting rom contact with both line and
neutral wires o the electrical circuit.
The Surge Guard Model 44750 is designed as a protective
device, do not use as an “on and o ” switch.
*I the unit is in the reset condition when plugged into the power
receptacle, then the green light will be immediately visible.
TROUBLESHOOTING
RV’s, new and old, can have loose, aulty or even incorrect
wiring which could be potentially dangerous. In the event there
is a leakage o current caused by one or more o the above
conditions, the Surge Guard Model 44750 will cut the low o
electricity. Should this happen, ollow the procedures below to
isolate the cause; however, TRC recommends that all electrical
repairs be done by a certi ied technician.
Unplug the RV rom the Surge Guard and push the reset
button. I the unit trips immediately a ter reset, the problem
is in the Surge Guard and it should be returned or repair or
replacement (see warranty in ormation). However, i the
Surge Guard holds the set, continue on to step 2.
Turn o all the RV circuit breakers and plug the RV power
cord into the Surge Guard. I the unit trips, the problem is in
the cord and/or the connection supplying the RV. However,
i the unit does not trip continue to step 3.
Turn on each circuit breaker one at a time until the Surge
Guard trips. You have now isolated a circuit with leakage.
Unplug all appliances connected to the bad circuit and reset
the circuit breaker and the Surge Guard. I the unit trips,
then the problem is in the RV wiring. Should the Surge
Guard not trip, see step 5.
Plug in each appliance until the Surge Guard trips. The
appliance that causes the trip has a current leakage and
should be repaired or replaced.
