Operation

DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

•Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E.

•This equipment must only be installed and serviced by qualified electrical personnel.

•Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside equipment.

•Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off.

•Replace all devices, doors and covers before turning on power to this equipment.

•This equipment must be effectively grounded per all applicable codes. Use an equipment-grounding conductor to connect this equipment to the power system ground.

LED Status Indicators

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

The diagnostic display panel shows the status of the SPD module with diagnostically controlled green/red LEDs. If a unit is operating correctly, all the phase LEDs will be illuminated green. To test the integrity of the diagnostics for each phase, push the button below the phase LEDs on the diagnostic display panel. The green LED will turn red and the alarm will sound, if the alarm is enabled. Releasing the test button will complete the test; the red LED will turn green and the alarm will shut off.

If an inoperable condition occurs on any phase, the audible alarm sounds and the corresponding phase LED on the diagnostic display panel is illuminated red. This indicates that the device needs service by qualified electrical personnel.

The audible alarm can be silenced by pressing the alarm enable/disable button. The alarm will silence and the green alarm LED will not be lit. The red phase LED will continue to be illuminated until the inoperative condition had been cleared.

On an SurgeArrest® module (see Figure 6), if the left green LED is not lit, it indicates a loss of suppression from line-to-ground for that phase. If the right green LED is not lit, it indicates a loss of suppression from line-to-neutral for that phase. If the diagnostic display has power and both green LEDs are not lit the module should be replaced.
