ASCO 335 Surge Protective Device (SPD)

Operation

Operation

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 

equipment.

• 

Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm power is 

off.

•  Replace all devices, doors and covers before turning on 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.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

DANGER

LED Status Indicators

Audible Alarm

Diagnostic LEDs are located on the front of the ASCO 335 SPD device. 

They operate as follows:

•  Verify that all phase voltages are present. If any of the LEDs are not 

illuminated, the device may not be installed correctly. Check the power 

supply and service voltage. Upon energizing the SPD, check the LED status. 

•  If all of the LEDs are illuminated, surge suppression is operating.

•  If one or more LEDs are not illuminated, there is a loss of surge 

suppression on that phase.

• 

If an inoperative condition occurs the device must be replaced by qualified 

electrical personnel.

The audible alarm does not have a silence switch. Silence the alarm by 

removing power from the SPD. The alarm indicates that the device needs  

replacement by qualified electrical personnel.
