Surge Suppression Systems
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The Liebert Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) are high quality, high energy surge current diversion systems designed to protect sensitive equipment from damaging transient voltage surges. Proper installation is required for maximum system performance.
The installer should perform the following steps to assure a quality installation. The entire installation manual should be read before starting installation. These instructions do not replace national or local electrical codes. Check applicable electrical codesto ensurecompliance. Installationof the Liebert SPD system should only be performed by qualified personnel.
UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION
Unpacking and Preliminary Inspection
1.Inspect the shipping crate(s) for damage or signs of mishandling before unpacking the unit.
2.Remove any securing bands and cardboard packing and inspect the unit for any obvious shipping damages.
3.If any damage as a result of shipping is observed, immediately file a claim with the shipping agency and forward a copy to your local Liebert Sales Representative.
Handling Considerations
Larger units are bolted to a shipping pallet to facilitate handling by forklift or pallet jack. Check the size and weight. Refer to the cabinet data furnished with the unit.
Storage
The unit should be stored in a clean, dry environment. Storage temperature range is
Location Considerations
Environment — The unit is designed for operation indoors in ambient temperatures of
The unit is provided in an industrial use enclosure, which is
Audible Noise — The audible noise of the unit is less than 40 dB at 5 feet, which allows its placement within almost any room if desired.
Service Clearances — Service clearance is needed for units with hinged doors on the front that are capable of being opened.
EQUIPMENT PERFORMANCE!!
To maximize system performance locate unit as close as possible to protected circuit and keep inter- connecting wiring less than 5 ft.
For optimum transient surge protection, coordinated surge suppression should be applied at the service entrance and all other electrical connections to the building (telephone, CATV, etc.), at known surge generating loads within the building (large motors, arc welders, switched capacitors, etc.), as well as at sensitive electronic loads (such as computers, electronic appliances, solid state motor drives, etc.). For interconnected electronic loads (such as by way of data cabling), transient surge suppression should also be applied to the interconnecting wiring (data cables).
Mounting — Unit is intended to be wall mounted. Refer to individual instruction sheet or unit submittal drawings for typical mounting dimensions and weight.
Warnings Defined
Danger: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. This signal word is to be limited to the most extreme situations.
Warning: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Caution: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
