iNTroDuCTioNThankyouforchoosinganAPTSurgeProtectiveDevice(SPD).Thisisahighquality,highenergysurgesuppressordesigned to protect sensitive equipment from damaging transient overvoltages.

Proper installation is important to maximize performance. Please follow steps outlined herein.

ThisentireOperation&MaintenanceManualshouldbereadpriortobeginninginstallation.Theseinstructionsarenot intended to replace national or local codes. Follow all applicable electrical codes to ensure compliance.Installation of this SPD should only be performed byqualifiedelectricalpersonnel.

APTSPDs are extensively tested in accordancewithindustry standards such as ANSI/IEEE C62.41.1, C62.41.2, C62.45, C62.62, C62.72, UL 1449, UL 1283, IEC 61643, etc. This SPD is a single-port parallel-connected deviceintendedforserviceentrance,panelboardordownstreaminstallation for IEEE Category C, B or A applications

This device features internal overcurrent and overtemperature protection that will disconnect effected surge suppression componentsattheendoftheirusefullife,butwillmaintainpowertotheload–nowunprotected.Ifthissituationisundesirablefor the application, follow these instructions for servicing or replacing the device.

Service of this unit consists of replacing internal modules and/ordisplayassembly.

There are no user-serviceable parts inside the replaceablemodules.Donotattempttodisassemblethemoduleasitstorescharge and is potted.

Simplified Explanation of OperationSPDssenseovervoltageandcreateamomentaryshortcircuitto redirect harmful surge energy to earth ground. Then they reset automatically and wait for the next surge. This is similar tothepressurereliefvalveonawaterheater:pressuregoesup, valve opens to relieve pressure and then resets. In an electricalsystem,anSPDsensesovervoltage,shortstemporarilysendingenergytogroundandthenresets.SPDsarecapableof repeating this function thousands of times.

Parallel ConnectionThisisaParallelconnectedSPD–notseriesconnected.Asoutlinedabove,anSPD‘drainsoff’excessivevoltagefromanelectrical system.

Precautionary Statement regarding SPDs on ungrounded SystemsCaution–Ungroundedsystemsareinherentlyunstableandcanproduct excessively high line-to-ground voltages during certain fault conditions. During these fault conditions,anyelectricalequipment including anSPD,maybe subjected to voltageswhichexceedtheirdesignedratings.Thisinformationisbeingprovidedtotheusersothataninformeddecisioncanbemadebefore installinganyelectrical equipment onanungroundedpower system.

Storage EnvironmentThisSPDshouldbestoredinaclean,dryenvironment.Storagetemperature range is -40°C (-40°F) to +60°C (+140°F). Avoid exposure to high condensation.

PrE-iNSTAllATioN & PlANNiNGoperating EnvironmentThe standard unit is in a Type 1 enclosure. Other enclosure typesareavailableasoptions.Beforeinstalling,ensurethatyour enclosure type and application are appropriate per NEMA 250withregardtomoisture,dirt,excessivedust,flammablematerials or atmospheres, corrosive vapors, etc.

ThisSPDisdesignedinanambienttemperaturerangeof-40°C(-40°F) to +60°C (+140°F) with a relative humidity of 0% to 95% (non-condensing). Excessive temperature may inadvertently operate internal thermal overtemperature protectors.

Audible Noise SPDbackgroundnoiseisnegligibleornon-existent,anddoesnot restrict the location of installation.

Mounting, Dimensions, and WeightThis SPD is designed to bewallmounted.The standardenclosure is: 12” x 12” x 6” (L/W/D), and the weight is 25lbs.TheXTESeriesisdesignedforinternalmountingintheelectricaldistributionequipment.Standardbackplanesize is:10.75”x10.88”x4.5”,andtheweightis15lbs.

Service ClearanceService clearance is needed at the front of the TE Series unit only, 36 inches minimum is the required distance for clearance pursuant to the NEC®.

Maximizing SPD PerformanceSPD’smust be located as close to the circuit as possibleto minimize parasitic losses. Surges are high current, high frequencyeventsthatcausesubstantialvoltagedropsacrossconductors.ThishurtsSPDperformance.Usetheshortest&straightestpossibleleads.Pre-Planinstallationsandensurethatnearestbreakerpositionsareused.Ifnewconstruction,adjustbreakerlocationsasappropriate.

Tip: Voltage drops for normal 120V or 277V linesmightbe2-3Vperhundredfeet.Insurgeapplications,voltage dropsmight be 100-150Vper foot. Thesevoltage drops add to clamping voltage, thus hurting performance. Make every effort to keep leads short and straight.

Asdistributiongearbecomeslarger,shorter leadsaremoredifficult toaccomplish.Whenlonger leadsareunavoidable,gently twist leads together (one to two twists per foot), or tie-wrap leads together.

Tip: surges createmagnetic fields per the ‘right-handrule’.Whencurrentgoesindirectionofthumb,magneticfieldisindirectionofcurloffingers.Assurge

current goes toSPD, fields are created in onedirection.WhentheSPDsendsthosecurrentstoneutral and/or ground, current goes in the opposite direction.If‘coming&going’areonthesameaxis,themagneticfieldscanbecancelled,thusavoidingperformancedecrease.Gentletwists,bundling&tie-wraps accomplish this.

Cascade Surge ProtectionFor optimum surge protection, cascade or staged surge suppressionshouldbeimplementedattheserviceentranceand downstream locations as appropriate. Known or expected surge sources, as well as sensitive loads, should also have localized surge suppression. For interconnected electronicloads(datacabling),SPDsshouldalsobeutilizedto protect the devices on either end of the interconnecting datacables.

NEMA Type 4X EnclosureOn rare occasions in high temperature climates, XGA's inside clear-cover polycarbonate enclosures haveexperienced internal temperatures exceeding 200oF. This inadvertently operates the overtemperature safety disconnectorsinsidetheSPD.Werecommendpositioningthe unit so that the clear front avoids direct summer sunlight byshadingornotfacingwest.

Troubleshooting & ServicePleasecontactusforanyservicerelatedissues.Wewanttotakecareofanyproblems.

Quality SPDs are designed and tested to withstandsevere duty. However, there are various electrical anomalies that SPDs cannot protect against. Theseare generally Sustained Overvoltages also known as Temporary Overvoltages (TOVs). In this context, Sustained Overvoltagesmaybeonlyafewcycles.FailedSPDstendtobesymptoms,notrootcauses.AfailedSPDshouldbetreatedasa ‘canary in thecoalmine’suggesting furtherinvestigation as theremay be a larger issue at play.Regardlessofcause,SPDsattempttoprotecttheirloaduntil failure.

As noted above, the single largest ‘killer’ of SPDs isreferencetogroundissues.IftheSPDshowsproblemsonstartup,thereisreasonablechanceofbonding/grounding/misapplication issue. This permanently damages the unit. If not corrected, it will happen again.

Tip:Experience indicates that regulation-challengedgenerators can cause Sustained Overvoltages, as well as ungrounded generators, and/or unusual load transfer systems.
