TPS3  02  Installation  Instructions  for: 

Lighting Panelboards Revised P1

If model number includes W option suffix, additional instructions follow:

The following instructions are for the installation of the Siemens TPS3 
02 and L2 SPD modules in Siemens Revised P1 lighting panelboards. Be 
aware of differences between the Revised P1 and Original P1 panelboards. 
SPDs for Original P1 and Revised P1 are not interchangeable. Original P1 
panelboards use TPS3 01 or L1 SPDs, whereas Revised P1 panelboards 
use TPS3 02 or L2 SPDs. 

To determine if a customer has a Revised P1 panel – look at the part 
number of the interior. If the part number ends with “N” or “T” then 
it is a Revised P1. If it does not end in either “N” or “T” then it is an 
Original P1 panel. For example: P1E42MC250A is an Original P1 panel 
and P1E42MC250AT is a Revised P1 panel. If it is a Revised P1 panel 
ending in “N” – then there is no Subfeed space and no place for an SPD 
to be installed internally. 

All hardware is supplied for complete installation of the TPS3 module. 
See page 3, Table 2 for Catalog numbers.

Figure 5: 250 Amp Max Revised P1 Panels

Determine  the  mounting  location  of  the  TPS3  in  the  distribution 
equipment.  If  the  TPS3  module  is  field  installed  in  the  bottom,  or  if 
it is mounted in a factory assembled panelboard, the internal phase 
label  connections  are  correct  as  shipped. 

If  mounted  in  the  top  of 

the distribution equipment or relocated after installation, internal 
phase  labeling  connections  must  be  changed  to  ensure  proper 
diagnostic  board  indication.

  These  modifications  should  be  made 

prior to installation. 

Internal Phase Labeling Connections

A single 14 wire ribbon cable is internally attached to the display pcb. 
Display board must be removed with 4 black phillips screws. When the 
ABC phase sequence changes to CBA, the single connector is removed 
from the normal “ABC” jack and installed in the jack labeled “CBA”.

Lock off all power supplying this equipment before working on it. 

Remove the trim and dead front. If SPD is hard-buss connected to busses: 
(If connected through breaker, see W option instructions on page 10)

Attach Connectors (items 5, 6 & 7) to outboard and center Phase buss 
bars using ¼”-20 x ½” slotted machine screws (item 3). Each Connector 
is Phase specific. Refer to Figures 5 & 6 (top right) for orientation. For 
400A use inner holes on outer phases and center hole on center phase. 
Machine screws thread into the Connector mounted below the buss 
bar. Do not tighten at this time.

Position the TPS3 unit (item 1) on the panel base rail so that the TPS3 
neutral connector is in front of the panel neutral and the phase tabs 
are above the Connectors. Slide the TPS3 unit toward the interior until 
the four mounting holes line up with the four holes in the base rail.

Attach the TPS3 unit to the base rail using four (4) of the #10-24 x 9/16” 
slotted hex washer head thread forming screws (item 2) provided as 
shown in Figures 5 and 6 (top right).

Fasten  TPS3  unit’s  Phase  tabs  to  the  Connectors  using  three  (3)  of 
the #10-24 x 9/16” slotted hex washer head thread forming screws  
(item 2). Do not tighten at this time.
