Safety First – Hazardous Voltage & Shock Hazard
• Only qualified licensed electricians should install or service 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
• This manual shall be read 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.
®
Verify that the neutral terminal (XO) on the
secondary side of distribution transformers are
grounded to the system ground in accordance with
the 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 and then reconnected after test
completion.
Failure to disconnect SPD and associated
components during elevated voltage testing will
damage the SPD and will void the warranty.
