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 -55ºC (-67ºF) to +85ºC
(+185ºF). Care should be taken to avoid condensation. All
packing and shipping materials should be left intact until
the unit is ready for final installation. If the unit has been
stored for an extended period of time, the unit should be
cleaned and carefully inspected before placing into service.
LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS
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).
Environment — Unit is designed for operation indoors in
ambient temperatures of -40ºC (-40ºF) to +60ºC (+140ºF) with
a relative humidity of 0% to 95% (non-condensing).
The unit is provided in an industrial use enclosure, which is
dust-tight and drip-tight and should not be installed in areas
with excessive dust, corrosive vapors, flammable materials or
explosive atmospheres.
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.
Thirty-six inches (36 in/914 mm) minimum is recommended.
Mounting — Unit is intended to be wall mounted. Refer to
installation instructions for 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.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Surge Protective Devices
All electrical connections should be installed by a qualified
(licensed) electrician only. All wiring must comply with the
National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes.
VERIFY THAT ALL POWER CIRCUITS ARE
DE-ENERGIZED AND LOCKED OUT BEFORE MAKING
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
Voltage Ratings and Power Source Configurations —
Before making connections to the unit, verify that the unit
model number and nameplate voltage rating are appropriate
for connection to the intended power source. See the chart
on page 4 for voltage rating applications with typical power
source configurations.
Wire Connections — With parallel connection, the size of the
wiring to the SPD unit is independent of the protected circuit’s
ampacity. NEC Article 285-21(B) requires surge suppressor
connecting conductors to be at least #14 copper or #12
aluminum. To reduce the wiring impedance to surge currents,
it is recommended that the phase, neutral (if required),
and ground conductors are twisted together and routed in
the same raceway (conduit). Avoid any sharp bends in the
conductors.
Overcurrent Protection — The SPD unit conducts practically
no current under normal operation and only conducts very
short duration transient surge currents.
NEC Considerations — The following is from the National
Electric Code 2008 Edition.
NEC 285.21 Connections
NEC 285.23 Type 1 SPDs. Shall be installed in accordance with
285.35(A) and (B).
(A) Installation. Type 1 SPDs shall be installed as follows:
(1) Type 1 SPDs shall be permitted to be connected to
the supply side of the service disconnect as permitted in
230.82(4) or
(2) Type 1 SPDs shall be permitted to be connected in
Type 2 locations as specified in 285.24.
(B) At the service. When installed at the services, the
grounding conductor of a Type 1 SPD shall be connected to
one of the following:
(1) Grounded service conductor
(2) Grounded electrode conductor
(3) Grounding electrode for service
(4)Equipment grounding terminal in the service equipment
Voltage Protection Ratings — To obtain the voltage
protection ratings (VPRs), as obtained by Underwriters
Laboratory, Incorporated, in accordance with the Standard
for Safety, Surge Protective Devices (SPDs), Standard 1449, Third
Edition, released (2009), marked on this product, the wire size
listed for each product must be utilized to connect the unit to
your facilities’ power grid. Connections made with conductors
other than the wire size listed may result in different VPRs.
Circuit Ampacity Limitations — Representative samples
of these products have been investigated by Underwriters
Laboratories, Incorporated to withstand, without exposing
live circuits or components at system voltages and fault
currents up to 200,000 AIC, as described in the Standard for
Safety, Surge Protective Devices (SPDs), Standard 1449, Third
Edition, released (2009).
System Grounding and Bonding — The performance and
safety of any SPD system is dependent on proper grounding
and bonding. Grounding is required for safety. Correct
implementation also enhances equipment performance.
Incorrect grounding can reduce or impede the SPD’s
operation.
All electrical circuits to the SPD must include an equipment-
grounding conductor as
required by the NEC and local
codes.
UNGROUNDED POWER SYSTEMS ARE INHERENTLY
UNSTABLE AND CAN PRODUCE EXCESSIVELY HIGH LINE-TOGROUND VOLTAGES DURING CERTAIN FAULT CONDITIONS.
DURING THESE FAULT CONDITIONS ANY ELECTRICAL
EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING AN SPD, MAY BE SUBJECTED TO
VOLTAGES WHICH EXCEED THEIR DESIGNED RATINGS. THIS
INFORMATION IS BEING PROVIDED TO THE USER SO THAT
AN INFORMED DECISION CAN BE MADE BEFORE INSTALLING
ANY ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT ON AN UNGROUNDED
POWER SYSTEM. CONTACT FACTORY FOR UNGROUNDED
APPLICATIONS.
An insulated grounding conductor is required in addition to any
metallic raceway, which may be used as a grounding conductor.
For parallel-connected SPDs, the grounding conductor should
be the same wire size as the associated power conductors.
