Inspection Unpacking and Preliminary Inspect the entire shipping container for damage or signs of mishandling before unpacking the device. Remove the packing material and further inspect the Inspection 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. Storage 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 p

Electrical Electrical Voltage Rating DANGER HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH Confirm the SPD voltage rating on the module or nameplate label is the same as the operating voltage. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury. Prior to mounting the SPD, verify that the device has the same voltage rating as the power distribution system in which it is installed. Compare the nameplate voltage or model number on the SPD with the nameplate of the elec

Location Location of SPD Install Type 2 SPDs on the load side of the main Overcurrent Protection Device (OCPD) to comply with NEC Article 285 for Type 2 SPDs. Locate the SPD as close as possible to the circuit being addressed to minimize the wire length and optimize SPD performance. Avoid long wire runs so that the device will perform as intended. To reduce the impedance that the wire displays to surge currents, the phase, neutral, and ground conductors must be routed within the same condui
