1.  Preparation

DANGER: 

Electrical shock or burn hazard. Qualified personnel should 

only install this product. Failure to lockout electrical power 

during installation or maintenance can result in fatal 

electrocution or severe burns. Before making any connections 

to this electrical panel please ensure that power has been 

removed from all associated wiring, electrical panels, and 

other electrical equipment.

Caution Notes: 

1. The installation of this Surge Diverter should follow all 

applicable national electrical codes.

2. Check to ensure that the power frequency line voltage does 

not exceed the maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc) of 

the product.

3. Prior to installation, ensure that the product is of the correct 

voltage, current, and frequency.

4. The ground (earth) terminal must be connected to a low 

impedance earth (<10 ohms) for correct operation.

5. Do not perform a “Flash Test” or use a Megger to test 

circuits that are protected with these units. This may damage 

the product and affect the insulation readings being performed.

6. Follow all instructions to ensure correct and safe operation 

and observe nationally recognized codes or authorities having 

jurisdiction.

7. Do not attempt to open or tamper with the unit in any way as 

this may compromise performance and will void warranty.

8. This device features an internal protection that will 

disconnect the surge protective component at the end of its 

useful life but will maintain power to the load - now 

unprotected.

2.  Introduction

The DSD50 series has been designed to provide protection to 

DC power distribution systems type of power distribution 

system.

3.  Quick Installation Overview

Please follow the sequence indicated:

1. First, ensure that power is removed from the area and the 

circuits to be connected.

2. Install earth leakage protection (Residual Current Device or 

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) if appropriate or where required 

by national codes and authorities having jurisdiction. 

3. Connect wiring to the primary terminals indicated.

4. Connect the alarm terminals if remote monitoring as required.

5. Apply power and observe correct operation of the surge 

protection device (SPD) and status indication is not tripped.

4.  Mounting

These products are designed to clip to 35mm (top hat) DIN rails 

(standard EN50022) set in the horizontal position with the SPD 

securing clips towards the bottom of the rail and the label text 

facing the correct way up.

Note:

 Modules must be installed in an enclosure or switch 

board panel in such a way that:

 

The location of this enclosure prevents the temperature of 

the units from exceeding its maximum specified rating.

 

Adequate electrical and safety protection is provided by the 

enclosure to all exposed terminals.

 

The location and type of enclosure meets the specified 

environmental requirements and prevents the ingress of 

moisture and water.

 

The indicator status of the unit can be readily inspected.

HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES EXIST INTERNAL TO THE SPD.  THIS UNIT SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED ONLY BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL IN CONFORMANCE WITH ALL 
GOVERNING CODES, AND INSTRUCTIONS.
1. The power supply to the SPD should always be turned (and locked) OFF before the unit is accessed for any reason.
2. Prior to installation, ensure that the SPD is of the correct voltage, current, phasing, and frequency for the applicable rating of the power distribution system.
3. All instructions must be followed to ensure proper and safe operation of the SPD.
4. Failure to follow instructions or warnings may result in bodily injury, property damage, equipment damage, or ineffective protection.

DANGER:  Electrical shock or burn hazard.  Installation of this SPD should only be made by qualified personnel.  Failure to lockout electrical power during installation or maintenance can result in fatal 
electrocution, severe burns, or other injuries.  Before working with or making any connections to this electrical panel, be sure that power has been removed from all associated wiring, electrical panels, and other 
electrical equipment.

CAUTION:  Check to make sure line voltage does not exceed SPD voltage requirement.
CAUTION:  This unit must be installed in conformance with all governing codes and instructions, and must be installed on the load side of the main over-current protection.
