ASCO 430 Surge Protective Device (SPD)

Operation

The dry contacts are designed for a maximum voltage of 24 V dc / 24 V

ac and a maximum current of 2 A. Higher energy applications may require

additional relay implementation outside the SPD. Damage to the SPD’s

relay caused by use with energy levels in excess of those discussed in this

instruction bulletin are not covered by warranty. For application questions,

call the ASCO Tech Support at (800) 237-4567 or email customercare@

ascopower.com.

The remote monitor option has two LEDs, one red and one green, and an

audible alarm with an enable/disable switch. Normal status is a lit green

LED, and no audible alarm. To test the integrity of the remote monitor, press

the push-to-test switch. The green LED will turn off, the red LED will turn on,

and the alarm will sound, if the alarm is enabled. Releasing the switch will

complete the test; the red LED will turn off, the green LED will turn on and

the alarm will shut off.

If suppression on any phase is lost, the green LED will turn off, the red LED

will illuminate and an alarm will sound. The audible alarm can be silenced by

pushing the alarm enable/disable/test switch. The alarm will silence and the

green alarm LED will not be lit. The red LED will continue to be illuminated

until the inoperative condition has been cleared.

The remote monitor includes a 120 V ac to 12 V dc adapter with a six-foot

power cord. Connections are made to the ASCO 430 SPD diagnostic panel

with the twenty-four inch (61 cm) dry contact leads (provided). To extend the

remote monitor further (up to 1,000 ft. (305 m), use an additional length of

solid or stranded 22 to 14 AWG wire (not provided).
