Installation and Operation Manual
Operation
LED Status Indicators The diagnostic display panel shows the status of the SPD module with
diagnostically controlled green/red LEDs. If a unit is operating correctly, all the
phase LEDs will be illuminated green. To test the integrity of the diagnostics for
each phase, push the button below the phase LEDs on the diagnostic display
panel. The green LED will turn red and the alarm will sound, if the alarm is
enabled. Releasing the test button will complete the test; the red LED will turn
green and the alarm will shut off.
If an inoperable condition occurs on any phase, the audible alarm sounds and
the corresponding phase LED on the diagnostic display panel is illuminated red.
This indicates that the device needs service by qualified electrical personnel.
The audible alarm can be silenced by pressing the alarm enable/disable button.
The alarm will silence and the green alarm LED will not be lit. The red phase
LED will continue to be illuminated until the inoperative condition had been
cleared.
On an SurgeArrest
®
module (see Figure 6), if the left green LED is not lit, it
indicates a loss of suppression from line-to-ground for that phase. If the right
green LED is not lit, it indicates a loss of suppression from line-to-neutral for that
phase. If the diagnostic display has power and both green LEDs are not lit the
module should be replaced.
