INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Model AG3000/AG3000G
Type 1 or Type 2 Surge Protection Device (SPD)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING Risk of Fire or Electric Shock

• Disconnect power at the circuit breaker(s) or disconnect switch(es) before installing or servicing.
• Intended for indoor or outdoor use.
• Installation and/or wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical code(s).
• Installation and service to be performed by a qualified licensed technician or electrician.
• Suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 20,000 rms symmetrical amperes.
• This unit contains no serviceable parts.

NOTICE

• Thoroughly read instructions before installing SPD Unit.
• This product does not protect against lightning strikes.
• If the unit is mounted outdoors, the threaded nipple must be mounted horizontally into a suitable enclosure.

Type 1 installation:
A typical installation of a type 1 SPD will be connected between the secondary of the service transformer and the line side of the service panel. This installation is intended to be installed without overcurrent protection to the SPD.

1. Determining location:
   • Ensure conductor lengths are as short and straight as possible for best performance. Do not coil excess wire. The SPD functions best if all bends in wires are rounded, ideally to a 4” radius. Hard 90 degree bend will reduce efficiency.
   Cut all leads to the correct length. Do not coil excess leads.
   • Install appropriate weatherproof fittings if the unit is to be mounted outside.

2. Ensure all mounting and connections are correct and secure.
   Once energized the green indicator LED will be ON and visible through the cover of the SPD.

AC Disconnect Installation

1. To be installed with over current protection up to 60 A.

Maintenance:

• AC Voltage SPD:
  • Periodically check SPD to ensure green indicator LED is ON.
  If green LED is OFF, protection has diminished and the SPD should be replaced immediately.

Found at connections for individual pieces of equipment such as pumps, single phase motors and HVAC applications.
NOTE: Both Black wires connect to Line.

According to NEC Article 285.27
For applications where the neutral wire is not present, the SPD white wire (grounded conductor) may be identified with green tape for connection to the equipment ground.
