WARRANTY STATEMENT

During the applicable warranty period, any Joslyn™surge protector device which fails due to defect in materials, workmanship, or any electrical anomaly, including lightning, shall be repaired or replaced at Joslyn’s discretion.

Prior to shipment of any suspect or known defective product to Joslyn a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number must be obtained. An official Joslyn RMA n

umber and shipping instructions can be obtained from the distributor where the product was originally purchased. Distributors can obtain the official Joslyn RMA number by contacting the Joslyn Customer Service Department at 800-647-1911. Products arriving at Joslyn without an official RMA number will not be accepted and will be returned freight collect to the original point of shipment.

Products being

returned with an official Joslyn RMA number should be shipped by prepaid freight

to the nominated point of return as shown on the RMA documentation.

The Company shall have no liability under this warranty for problems or defects directly or indirectly caused by misuse of the Product, alteration of the Product (including removal of any warning labels), accidents, improper installation, application,

operation or improper repair of the

Product.

WARNING The voltages from the power service are potentially lethal. Disconnect the power before attempting installation or replacement of this suppressor.

Installation and maintenance of the suppressor should be performed by a qualified electrician.

It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that all electrical and safety codes and local jurisdiction requirements are met and the suppressor

is p

roperly installed.

Read these instructions completely before beginning installation.

DESCRIPTION

– Replace the LDP Suppressor if a light is out –

At the end of life, the LDP Surge Protective Device (SPD) will generally fail open circuited and not trip a dedicated breaker if used. If the breaker is found tripped, it should be reset: If it retrips, replace the suppressor. If it resets and the green LEDs remain lit, the suppressor is sound and use may be continued.

INSTALLATION

Electrical Service

The LDP Surge Suppressor shall not be connected to an electrical service with an available short circuit current of more than 65,000 A ms. The LDP does not require an upstream over current device. If one is used, we recommend 200A maximum. The interrupt rating of the device shall not be less than the available short circuit current.

The LDP Suppressor is intended to be us

ed o

nly on grounded electrical services where the neutral is bonded to ground at the service entrance (types USA and TN-C-S) or bonded to ground at the source and the source grounding conductor is connected to site ground (type TNS).

The LDP Suppressor can be installed on 2-wire and 3-wire single phase, and 4-wire three phase services. See diagrams on facing page.

Location

The LDP Suppressor may be inst

alled o

n the line or load side of the main service disconnect. It can be located indoor or outdoor; If installed outdoors in hot climates, avoid direct sun exposure. Orient the unit so the functional status lights are visible. This unit cannot be employed on a flush mounted load center with a finished wall surface.

Connection

Mount through ½” knockout (Ø22 mm) in the electrical panel and secure with l

ock n

ut. Black wires connect to phase (hot) white wire to neutral bar, green/yellow wire to ground bar. Not all models will have all wire colors.

The black or brown (hot) and white or blue (neutral) wires may connect across the main lugs or buses in the panel (if so provisioned with connection means). The suppressor can also be connected to a double ganged breaker suitable for use with #14 wire – thi

s m

ethod allows the device to be isolated for test or replacement without de-energizing the electrical service. Use 20 A min circuit breaker at main panel; use 10 A min at subpanel. To optimize protection levels: this breaker should be adjacent to the panel’s main lugs or main disconnect breaker; minimize suppressor wires length and avoid unnecessary bends in suppressor wires.

Monitoring

On some models

the i

nternal condition of this device and its protective function are monitored by green LEDs on the face of the unit. When the LEDs are lit, the suppressor is functioning properly and providing protection.

The LDP Surge Protective 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 result from lightning, induction, and switching of loads or capacitor banks. This is a light duty device and should be used in minimum to moderate lightning environments, or in hi

gh l

ightning areas if used downstream of a primary, heavier duty protection

device installed at service entrance.
