Inspect the entire shipping container for damage or signs of mishandling be-
fore unpacking the device. Remove the packing material and further inspect
the device for any obvious shipping damage. If any damage is found and is
a result of shipping or handling, immediately file a claim with the shipping
company.
The device should be stored in a clean, dry environment. Storage tempera-
ture is -40° F to +140° F (-40° C to +60° C). All of the packaging materials
should be left intact until the device is ready for installation.
The identification nameplate is located on the side of the unit.
The device is designed to operate in an ambient temperature range of
-13 °F to +140 °F (-25°C to +60°C) with a relative humidity of 0 to 95%
non-condensing. This device has a Type 4X housing.
The device background noise is negligible and does not restrict the location
of the installation.
The device has been designed to be surface mounted. An additional flush
mount kit is also available if required (KITFMXF) or stainless steel flush
mount kit (KITFMXFSS).
The service clearance should meet all applicable code requirements.
To obtain optimum surge suppression, locate the SPD as close as possible
to the circuitry being surge-limited to minimize the wire length. Minimizing
the wire length reduces the impedance between the circuitry and the SPD.
Refer to the Voltage Protection Rating (VPR) values on the SPD nameplate.
These VPR values were obtained by testing the SPD with six-inch long
leads (per UL1449). For every additional foot of wire beyond six inches, the
effective VPR increases by approximately 160 volts.
