APT XM Series Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual

XM Series
Surge Protective Device (SPD)
Installation, Operation
& Maintenance Manual
Thank you for choosing an APT Surge
Protective Device (SPD). The XM is a high quality,
high energy surge suppressor designed to protect
sensitive equipment from damaging transient
overvoltages. The SPD is parallel connected
such that circuit ampacity is unlimited. Proper
installation is important to maximize performance.
Please follow steps outlined herein. These
instructions are not intended to replace national or
local codes. Follow all applicable electrical codes
to ensure compliance.
XM complies with latest regulatory actions and is
UL 1449 Listed (VZCA.E321351). See National
Electrical Code (NEC
WARNING
Risk of Electric Shock
▪
Only qualified licensed electricians should install or
service SPDs
▪
SPDs should never be installed or serviced when
energized or during electrical storms
▪
Use appropriate safety precautions including
Personal Protection Equipment
▪
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, serious injury, and/or equipment damage
▪
When used in outdoor applications, customer must
seal the conduit nipple using watertight fittings (not
included) to ensure a watertight connection

XM is a Type 2 SPD, intended for installation
on the load-side of the service disconnect. We
recommend connecting via a 20-30A circuit breaker
due to 10 AWG conductors. UL 1449 safety and
performance evaluations were performed with a
30A circuit breaker. The circuit breaker serves as
a disconnect switch and provides NEC
short circuit protection to the conductors in Type
2 applications.
Simplified Explanation of Operation
SPDs sense overvoltage and create a momentary
short circuit to redirect harmful surge energy to
earth ground. They reset automatically and wait
for the next surge. This is similar to the pressure
relief valve on a water heater: pressure goes up,
valve opens to relieve pressure and then resets. In
an electrical system, an SPD senses overvoltage,
shorts temporarily sending energy to ground and
then resets. SPDs are capable of repeating this
function thousands of times.
