MODEL: C-1 120V/240V 1 phase |
| Caution |
| It is recommended that TYTEWADD POWER FILTERS (Secondary Surge Arresters) be installed by a qualified electrician. Electricians should use the same precautionary measures as with any installation involving potentially hazardous voltages. |
| SEE WIRING SCHEMATICS BELOW |
| 1. | Disconnect main power (when fuses are in use,pull main fuses). |
| 2. | Remove the breaker (fuse) box cover. |
|
3.
|
Turn off the breaker marked electric range. NOTE: If an electric range circuit is not available, connect the power filter (surge arrester) to the load side of any two pole circuit breaker, preferably a condensing unit circuit or a circuit that has a continous use. See note #1 at bottom of page before continuing. |
| 4. | Use test lamp to confirm that the breaker (fuse) terminals are turned off. |
|
5.
| Cut arrester leads to desired length for installation. Measure for correct length by holding surge arrester to mounting point and holding wire to connection point. Allow approximately one extra inch of wire for connection to the terminals and cut remainder of wire off. Leads should be as short as possible. |
| 6. | Strip about 1/2 inch of insulation from all surge arrester leads. |
|
7.
| The dedicated lines that you plan to protect with the secondary surge arrester may be connected to a breaker or fuse with terminals accepting only one wire. The recommended procedure is to splice surge arrester and dedicated line wires together with a wire nut. (A special wire nut may be required in some installations). Install only one wire, as designed, to the breaker or fuse (see illustration below). |
| 8. | Attach surge arrester to sidewall of panelboard with enclosed mounting tab and strap. |
|
9.
| Connect wires of surge arrester according to the wiring schematic on the back of this page. (Refer to #7 of this instruction sheet and to splicing illustration at the bottom of this page.) |
|
10.
| Check all connections for mechanical tightness then, replace breaker (fuse) box cover. |
|
11.
| Turn on: (A) circuit breaker; (B) main breaker. (If fuses are in use: (A) reinstall circuit fuses; (B) reinstall main fuses). |
|
NOTE #1:
|
If the TYTEWADD POWER FILTER Sacrificially disrupts due to an extreme lightning or otherwise induced surge
or spike, it will short and cause the breaker to which it is connected to open shutting down all power to that circuit.
For this reason, If critical loads and/or refrigeration or freezer circuits are being supplied from an
electrical panel It is recommended that the power filter NOT be installed across the MAIN breaker but
rather a 2 pole breaker within the panel,(preferably a range or air conditioning circuit). See wiring schematics below. |
|
NOTE #2:
| THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS PRODUCT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT OR SYSTEMS WHERE THE OVERCURRENT PROTECTIVE DEVICE OR DEVICES FAILS TO OPEN DUE TO MISAPPLICATION OF THESE DEVICES. THE USER OF THIS SURGE PROTECTION DEVICE SHALL BE LIABLE FOR THE PROPER UTILIZATION OF THE OVERCURRENT DEVICE OR DEVICES AS IT RELATES TO THE AVAILABLE FAULT CURRENT AND THE PROPER PROTECTION OF SAME. |
