Installation procedures for top entry
If bottom or side entry isn't practical for the installation of the SPD
Max, top entry can be accomplished using the following steps .
1. Open the front door of the SPD Max by loosening, but not
removing, the seven latches that secure the door to the base of
the enclosure (see Figure 3).
2. To gain access to the wire termination compartment, the display
cable for a single brick, SPD1, must be unplugged . For Power
Xpert SPD applications, remove the retaining clip on the ribbon
cable connector by inserting a small flat blade screwdriver on
the side of the clip and prying it outward to release it from the
ribbon cable connector . Once the retainer is removed, unplug
the connector with a pair of long-nosed pliers (see Figure 5).
Then remove the Cat 5e cable .
3. If the SPD Max contains two SPDs, SPD1 and SPD2, the display
cable and two SPD status ribbon cables must be unplugged .
This is done by loosening the two cable hold-down bracket
screws—½ turn and sliding the bracket(s) up to gain access
to the ribbon cable connector(s) . Using a pair of long-nosed
pliers, carefully unplug the display cable and SPD Status cable
connectors from the SPDs, if they are equipped (see Figure 3).
4. Remove the four Torx screws holding down the hinged
®
deadfront panels . Swing open the hinged deadfront panels
to access the wiring compartments .
5. Remove the white neutral wire(s) from the neutral terminal block
and the SPD(s) and discard them (see Figure 4).
