Inspect the entire shipping container for damage or signs of mishandling before unpacking the device. Remove the packing material and further inspect the device for any obvious shipping damage. If any damage is found and is a result of shipping or handling, immediately file a claim with the shipping company.

The device should be stored in a clean, dry environment. Storage temperature is -40 °F to +149 °F (-40 °C to +65 °C). All of the packaging materials should be left intact until the device is ready for installation.

English, Spanish, and French versions of all safety labels (Danger, Warning, Caution) are provided.

The identification nameplate is located on the inside of the door/cover.

The device is designed to operate in an ambient temperature range of

-4 °F to +149 °F (-20 °C to + 65 °C) with a relative humidity of 0 to 95% non- condensing. Refer to the product catalog for further details on enclosures. All SPDs operate normally without reduction in performance when subjected to shock and vibrations described in IEC 60721-3-3, Class 3M4.

The device background noise is negligible and does not restrict the location of the installation.

The device is designed to be surface or flush mounted. Refer to the device submittal drawings or the product catalog for typical mounting dimensions and weight.

The service clearance should meet all applicable code requirements.

To obtain the maximum system performance, locate the device as close to the circuit being addressed as possible to minimize the interconnecting wiring length. For every foot of wire length, approximately 160 volts

(6 kV / 3 kA, 8/20 microsecond) is added to the suppressed voltage. The Voltage Protection Rating (VPR) is located on the device nameplate and is measured 6 inches from the device terminals, according to UL 1449 Third Edition.
