Safety Information
Important Information
Read these instructions carefully and look at the equipment to become familiar
with the device before trying to install, operate, service or maintain it.
The following special messages may appear throughout this bulletin or on the
equipment to warn of potential hazards or to call attention to information
that clarifies or simplifies a procedure.
The addition of either symbol to a “Danger” or “Warning” safety label
indicates that an electrical hazard exists which will result in personal
injury if the instructions are not followed.
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid
possible injury or death.
DANGER
DANGER indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in
death or serious injury.
WARNING
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could
result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE
NOTICE is used to address practices not related to physical injury. The
safety alert symbol shall not be used with this signal word.
Please Note
Electrical equipment should be installed, operated, serviced, and maintained
only by qualified personnel. No responsibility is assumed by Appleton Grp LLC
d/b/a Appleton Group for any consequences arising out of the use of this
material.
A qualified person is one who has skills and knowledge related to the
construction, installation, and operation of electrical equipment and has
received safety training to recognize and avoid the hazards involved.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
- Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E, NOM-029-STPS, or CSA Z462.
- This equipment must only be installed and serviced by qualified electrical personnel.
- Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside the equipment.
- Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is off.
- Replace all devices, doors, and covers before turning on the power to this equipment.
- This equipment must be effectively grounded per all applicable codes. Use an equipment-grounding conductor to connect this equipment to the power system ground.
- Do not supply more than 24VDC / 24VAC and no more than a current of 2A.
- Confirm that the Surge Protective Device voltage rating on the module or nameplate label is not less than the operating voltage.
- This equipment must be installed inside an enclosure and located so, as to prevent accidental contact with terminals during maintenance or servicing.
- Do not install in areas with excessive dust, corrosive vapors, flammable materials, or explosive atmospheres.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including DINP, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, and DIDP which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to: www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
NOTICE
LOSS OF SURGE SUPPRESSION
- Make certain that Surge Protective Device is disconnected from the circuit it is protecting before conducting high-potential insulation testing.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
Introduction
The STFE Series combines rugged, high-energy transient protection with the
original Active Tracking® Filter technology to provide protection against the
full spectrum of voltage transients and surges.
Proper installation is required for maximum system performance. To ensure a
quality installation, the installer should read the entire manual and follow
all instructions before and during the installation.
These instructions do not replace national or local electrical codes. Check
applicable electrical codes to ensure compliance. Installation of the STFE
Series should only be performed by qualified personnel.
Preinstallation
Location Considerations
Environment: The unit is designed for indoor operation in ambient temperatures
of -40ºC (-40ºF) to +60ºC (+140ºF) with a relative humidity of 0% to 95%
(noncondensing).
Supplemental Enclosures: All units provided with terminal blocks must be
installed inside an enclosure and located so as to prevent accidental contact
with terminals during maintenance and service.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
- This equipment must be installed inside an enclosure and located so, as to prevent accidental contact with terminals during maintenance or servicing.
- Do not install in areas with excessive dust, corrosive vapors, flammable materials, or explosive atmospheres.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
Electrical Connections
All electrical connections must be installed by a licensed electrician. All
wiring must comply with the National Electrical Code® (NEC® ) and applicable
local codes.
Voltage, Current, and Power Configurations
Maximum Current Capability: The total current draw that a unit may
continuously handle is provided in the Voltage, Current, and Power
Configurations table below.
NOTICE
LOSS OF SURGE SUPPRESSION
- Overloading the unit can cause permanent damage.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
Nominal Voltage: The nominal operating voltage for each model is provided in
the Voltage, Current and
Power Configurations table below.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
- Confirm that the Surge Protective Device voltage rating on the module or nameplate label is not less than the operating voltage.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
Grounding
Input and output ground terminals must be connected for proper operation. Grounding is not only required for safety, but also for equipment performance. Incorrect grounding can reduce or impede the operation of the unit.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
- This equipment must be effectively grounded per all applicable codes. Use an equipment-grounding conductor to connect this equipment to the power system ground.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Installation
- For units provided with a ground connection, a green (with or without one or more yellow stripes) insulated grounding conductor identical in size, insulation material, and thickness to the grounded and ungrounded conductors must be installed (ref. NEC Table 250-95) and referenced back to acceptable building ground.
- Attachment plugs, receptacles, etc. in the vicinity of the STFE Series must be of grounding type, with the grounding conductors connected to acceptable building ground.
- Terminals, lugs, and connectors used in installation must be suitable for the material of the conductors.
Conductors of dissimilar metals shall not be intermixed in a terminal or splicing.
