Surge Protective Devices

WARNINGS:

• HAZARD OF ELECTROCUTION AND SHOCK. CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS.
• Only electricians should install or service Surge Protective Devices (SPDs).
• Hazardous voltages exist within SPDs.
• SPDs should never be installed or serviced when energized.
• Use appropriate safety precautions including Personal Protection Equipment.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, and/or equipment damage.
• Read this manual in its entirety prior to installing.

Bonding and Grounding Hazard

Verify that the neutral conductor in the service entrance equipment is bonded to ground in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC
and all applicable codes. During installation into an electrical system the SPD must not be energized until the electrical system is completely
installed, inspected and tested. All conductors must be connected and functional including the neutral (if required).
The voltage rating of the SPD and system must be verified before energizing the SPD. Failure to follow these guidelines can lead to abnormally
high voltages at the SPD. This may cause the SPD to fail. The warranty is voided if the SPD is incorrectly installed and/or if the neutral conductor
in the service entrance equipment or downstream of separately derived systems is not bonded to ground in accordance with the NEC.

Do Not Hi-Pot Test SPDs

Any factory or on-site testing of power distribution equipment that exceeds normal operating voltage such as high-potential insulation testing, or
any other tests where the suppression components will be subjected to higher voltage than their rated Maximum Continuous Operating Voltage
(MCOV) must be conducted with the SPD disconnected from the power source. For 4-wire systems, the neutral connection at the SPD must also
be disconnected prior to performing high-potential testing. Failure to disconnect the SPD and associated components during elevated voltage
testing will damage the SPD and will void the warranty.
CAUTIONS:

SPDs on Ungrounded Systems

Ungrounded 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 an SPD, may be subjected to voltages which exceed their designated ratings. An SPD
designated specifically for ungrounded systems should be used.

Unpacking and Preliminary Inspection

Inspect the entire shipping container for damage or signs of mishandling. Remove the packing materials and further inspect the unit for any
obvious shipping damages. If any damage was found, and is a result of shipping or handling, immediately file a claim with the shipping company
and forward a copy to Leviton at industrial@leviton.com.

Storage Environment

This SPD should be stored in a clean, dry environment. Storage temperature range is -49°F to 140°F (-45°C to 60°C). Avoid exposure to
high condensation.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Pre-Installation

Operating Environment

Series R, P, and B are NEMA 4X enclosures and Series M is NEMA 4 enclosure. Before installing, ensure that your enclosure type and
application are appropriate with regard to moisture, dirt, excessive dust, flammable materials or atmospheres, corrosive vapors, etc. Please
consult factory if enclosure needs to be changed. The R and P Series are designed to work in a temperature range of -31°F to +185°F (-35°C to
+85°C), and the B and M Series -40°F to +185°F (-40°C to +85°C) with a relative humidity of 0% to 95% (noncondensing). Excessive temperature
may inadvertently operate internal thermal over-temperature protectors.

Line Side versus Load Side Installation

The R and P Series SPDs are Type 1, and the B and M Series SPDs are Type 2, as defined in UL 1449 and the National Electrical Code. Type 1
SPDs are intended to be installed on the line side of the service disconnect overcurrent device but may also be installed on the load side. Type 2
SPDs are intended to be installed on the load side of the service disconnect overcurrent device.
NOTE: Devices with UL1293 Filtering are qualified to the same standards, but can only be installed as Type 2 devices per UL specification.

Audible Noise

SPD background noise is negligible or non-existent, and does not restrict the location of installation.
