Arcon 19658 Quick Start Manual

30A 120V
Surge Protector
• Protects against power surges and a lightning strike
• Identifies electrical wiring faults
• Detects low voltage
Use the Arcon 30A 120V Surge Protector to identify power issues and ensure correct
wiring at the electrical source before you connect your RV to a pedestal or power
distribution box. Detects low voltage and provides 3600 Joules of comprehensive power
surge protection for all circuits: Hot, Ground, and Neutral.

Using the Surge Protector

1 1 Plug the Arcon 30A Surge Protector into a compatible
30A 120V power source.
The Surge Protector's lights (Figure 1) illuminate to
2
indicate wiring or low voltage issues shown in Figure 2.
YOU WANT TO SEE THE LIGHT PATTERN FOR
CORRECT WIRING.
If you see any other light pattern, the Surge Protector
has detected power issues or electrical faults. Move to
a different power pedestal, or follow one of the Next
Steps provided in Figure 2.
CAUTIONS:
If there are NO lights illuminated:
Power may still pass through, but there is NO
surge protection!
It may be an indication that the device has
completed its service and needs to be replaced.
(See FAQs in this document.)
Once a good power source is confirmed, you can
3
connect your RV to the power output receptacle on the
Arcon 30A Surge Protector.
Warnings & Cautions
The Arcon 30A Surge Protector has no serviceable parts. Do not
open, alter, or tamper with the surge protector in any way. FAILURE
TO COMPLY WITH THIS WARNING MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE
TO YOUR EQUIPMENT, PERSONAL INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH
FROM ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
Do not plug the Arcon 30A Surge Protector into a power source
unless it has a corresponding 30A circuit breaker installed.
The Arcon 30A Surge Protector plug and receptacles meet strict
NEMA standards. Make sure all receptacles and plugs on connected
devices are properly wired and in good working condition (e.g. no
frayed cords, loose connectors, or missing pins).
If the Arcon 30A Surge Protector indicates an open ground,
connecting your coach is not recommended. Ungrounded power
systems are inherently unstable and can produce excessively high
line-to-ground voltages during certain fault conditions. During these
fault conditions any electrical equipment, including a surge protection
device, may be subjected to voltages which exceed their designed
ratings. This information is being provided to the user so that an
informed decision can be made before installing any electrical
equipment on an ungrounded power system.
