HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
• Use 600 Vac rated dry contact wiring.
• Dry contact wiring must have less than 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) exposed wire from the dry contact block.
• Do not supply more than 24 V dc / 24 V ac and no more than a current of 2 A.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
The SolaHD 200K/300K series SPD is provided with dry contacts. The connection for the dry contacts is
located on the inside of the SPD enclosure and will accept # 22 - 14 AWG stranded or solid wire. The dry
contacts are three-position, Form "C" type with Normally Open, Normally Closed, and Common connections.
In the unpowered state the contact is closed between terminals NC and COM. This is also the alarm condition.
The opposite state, closed between terminals NO and COM, indicates that power is on to the unit and that no
alarm condition exists.
