PSP Hurricane 4000 Series Installation Instructions

Installation Instructions
1. Preparation for Install of Surge Protection Device
(SPD)
install the SPD. The enclosure should be mounted no
more than 3 feet away from the distribution panel.
C. Check that the buildings facility grounding system
meets all NEC & CEC requirements as well as local
codes. A low resistance ground system is essential to
the proper functioning of any SPD. The soil resistance
level should be no more than 25 ohms. This can be
verified by performing a soil resistivity test.
2. Location of Surge Protection Device (SPD)
A. For service entrance applications, install the SPD at
the main distribution panel on the load side after the
main disconnect.
B. For feeder/sub-panel applications, install the SPD
directly adjacent to the panelboard.
IMPORTANT! Remember to keep conductor
lead length to a maximum of 3ft or less.

A. Verify the system
voltage and wiring
configuration is
the same as the
enclosed SPD by
metering the panel
voltage and checking
it against the product
label located on the
SPD.
B. Review the
installation area to
ensure the proper
space is available to
properly mount and

3. Wiring of Surge Protection Device (SPD)
A. TURN OFF the power to the distribution panel where
the SPD will be installed.
Optional: nstall a circuit breaker to feed the SPD.

This will allow safety personnel to remove power from
the device in order to diagnose or service the unit. In
addition, the device incorporates internal fusing, UL &
CSA approved, that will protect against short circuit
fault conditions within the unit.
B. Nipple mount SPD, or install either a rigid or flexible
metal conduit between the SPD and the distribution
panel.
C. Run wires of SPD to distribution panelboard - See
wiring diagrams for details.
D. Ensure proper color codes: Table 1.
E. Tighten and recheck all connections.
F. If remote monitoring is employed, connect the
form "C" contacts to the building monitor system or
independent alarm, i.e. addressable relay. Contact
relays will accept up to 1A/220 VAC. The dry contact
terminals are N.O. (normally open), N.C. (normally
closed) and COM (common). Diagram 1.
