Safety Information

Important Information

Read these instructions carefully and look at the equipment to become
familiar with the device before trying to install, operate, service or maintain it.
The following special messages may appear throughout this bulletin or on the
equipment to warn of potential hazards or to call attention to information that
clarifies or simplifies a procedure.

The addition of either symbol to a “Danger” or “Warning” safety label
indicates that an electrical hazard exists which will result in personal
injury if the instructions are not followed.

This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential
personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this
symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER

Please Note

WARNING

WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in minor or moderate injury.

NOTICE

NOTICE is used to address practices not related to physical injury. The safety
alert symbol shall not be used with this signal word.

Electrical equipment should be installed, operated, serviced, and maintained only
by qualified personnel. No responsibility is assumed by Appleton Grp LLC d/b/a
Appleton Group for any consequences arising out of the use of this material.

A qualified person is one who has skills and knowledge related to the
construction, installation, and operation of electrical equipment and has received
safety training to recognize and avoid the hazards involved.

Precautions

DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

• Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E,
NOM-029-STPS or CSA Z462.

• This equipment must only be installed and serviced by qualied electrical personnel.

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

• Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to conrm power is o󰀨.

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

• This equipment must be e󰀨ectively grounded per all applicable codes. Use an equipment-grounding conductor to

connect this equipment to the power system ground.

• Do not install in areas with excessive dust, corrosive vapors, ammable materials, or explosive atmospheres.

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

WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including DINP, which is known to the State of

California to cause cancer, and DIDP which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or
other reproductive harm. For more information go to: www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

NOTICE

LOSS OF BRANCH CIRCUIT POWER / LOSS OF SURGE SUPPRESSION

• Perform periodic inspection of the surge protective device status indicator lights as part of the preventative
maintenance schedule.

• Promptly replace the surge protective device when an alarm state exists.

• Use dry contacts to signal an alarm state to the central supervisory system for unmanned, inaccessible, or
critical installations.

• Use multiple surge protective devices to achieve redundancy for critical applications.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

At end-of-life conditions, Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) can lose their ability to suppress power system
transient voltage spikes and attempt to draw excessive current from the line. This SPD is equipped with
overcurrent and overtemperature components that will automatically disconnect the surge suppression
elements from the mains should the surge suppression elements reach end of life. Tripping of the branch
circuit breaker or fuse feeding the SPD can occur. Mitigate the tripping of the branch circuit breaker or fuse
feeding the SPD by coordinating the surge suppression elements with the branch circuits.

DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

• Do not energize the surge protective device until the electrical system is completely installed, inspected and
tested.

• Ensure all conductors are connected and functional.

• Verify the voltage rating of the device and system prior to energizing.

• Perform high-potential insulation testing, or any other tests where surge protective device components will be
subjected to voltages higher than their rated turn-on voltage, with the neutral and surge protective device discon­nected from the power source

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