Units that come with Form "C" dry relay contacts provide status of the surge
protective device . These contacts are for connection to a user-provided remote
alarm and monitoring circuit . The relay contacts are rated 65VDC/150VAC with
maximum switching power of 30WDC/60VA AC . The Form "C" contacts come
pre-wired with 36" of #20AWG conductors on the JSP 60 to 100kA models and
on all JSPR models .
When input power is present on all phases, terminals "NO" (Normally Open)
and "COM" (Common) are an open circuit and terminals "NC" (Normally Closed)
and "COM" are a closed circuit . The contacts change state when the unit has
encountered failure to one or more phases .
The installer must provide the appropriate raceway and wiring for the monitoring
circuit, observing the restrictions and conduit openings illustrated in an earlier
section of this manual .
Models: JSP60kA to JSP100kA with -M option and JSPR Series
For these models, the Form "C" contacts come pre-wired with 36" of #20AWG
conductors .
See Figure 7 for the Form "C" wiring and contact configuration .
Use butt splices within the panelboard to connect the Form "C" leads to the
user's monitoring circuits . Alternatively, install a junction box between the JSP
Series and the panelboard to connect Form "C" leads to user's monitoring

cutting off the leads or coiling up the leads and saving them for potential
future use . Consult applicable local codes to ensure proper installation .

CONDITION
Models: JSP120kA to JSP400kA
For these models, the Form "C" contacts must be wired by the installer .
See Figure 8 for the Form "C" contact configuration and terminal location on
the monitor board . The annotations on the diagram match the markings on the
terminal block .
The installer must route the monitoring conductors to the terminal blocks on
the door mounted main monitoring board . Route the wires to allow the door
to be opened and closed properly . Tighten screws on terminals to 3 .5 in-lbs .
(0 .4 Nm) . This terminal block will accept wire sizes #28AWG–#16AWG .
#18–#20AWG is recommended .
