INTRODUCTION

The XXXX-21 Type 2 Surge Protection Device(SPD) is designed for protection of downstream
distribution equipment and wiring as well as most sensitive electrical and electronic loads from
the effects of overvoltage transients that might be produced from lightning, induction, load or
power factor capacitor switching. Multiple LEDs indicate the functional status of the protection
elements with

Impor

All work must be performed by qualified electrical personnel. The electrical system must be
properly grounded in accordance with applicable codes for this suppressor to work correctly.
The XXXX-21 Type 2 SPD must be connected behind a 30A maximum breaker on a system
that has a short circuit current rating of 100kAIC maximum.

Installation

The unit must be i

main service disconnect behind a 30A maximum breaker. Careful consideration should
be made in selecting the knockout location because excess lead length and sharp bends in
the wire drastically decrease the effectiveness of the SPD. For this reason choose a knockout
location that minimizes lead length and sharp bends.

Operation

1. Apply power to the panel. If the electrical and grounding wirings are done correctly, the

green function status LED will illuminate. If the LED is not on, remove the power and

eview all of the previous installation procedures.

2. If after a known heavy lightning strike has occurred and the LED is off, reset the breaker.

If the function LED lights come back on then the protector is fine. If the light is still out, or
you can not reset the breaker, the protector must be replaced. This unit contains no user
