CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE (Repair) SurgeArrest PMH3XLM units are designed for years of reliable, trouble-free operation. However, even the most reliable equipment can fail. Built-in diagnostics are an integral part of the PMH3XLM and indicate if service is required. Audible alarms and abnormal illumination of LEDs indicate problems within the PMH3XLM, and possibly within the electrical system. Quality SPDs, such as the PMH3XLM, are designed and tested to withstand severe duty. However, various elec

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE - Inspection and Cleaning Inspection of the SPD should be performed periodically to maintain reliable system performance and continued transient voltage surge protection. While it is difficult to establish a preventive maintenance schedule because conditions vary from location to location, inspections for failed LEDs and other signs of trouble utilizing the built-in diagnostics should be performed on a routine basis (weekly or monthly). REPLACEMENT PARTS The only replaceab
