Low Voltage is 

Detected.
The red light 

indicates the line 

voltage is ≤106V.

1.  Contact RV park 

management.

2.  Connect to a different 

pedestal.

 

Plug the Arcon 30A Surge Protector into a compatible 

30A 120V power source.

 

The Surge Protector’s lights (Figure 1) illuminate to 

indicate wiring or low voltage issues shown in Figure 2. 

 

YOU WANT TO SEE THE LIGHT PATTERN FOR 

CORRECT WIRING.

If you see any other light pattern, the Surge Protector 

has detected power issues or electrical faults. Move to 

a different power pedestal, or follow one of the Next 

Steps provided in Figure 2.

CAUTIONS:

  If there are NO lights illuminated:

  Power may still pass through, but there is NO 

surge protection!

  It may be an indication that the device has 

completed its service and needs to be replaced. 

(See FAQs in this document.)

 

Once a good power source is confirmed, you can 

connect your RV to the power output receptacle on the 

Arcon 30A Surge Protector.

Surge Protector

Using the Surge Protector

•  Protects against power surges and a lightning strike

•  Identifies electrical wiring faults

•  Detects low voltage

Use the Arcon 30A 120V Surge Protector to identify power issues and ensure correct 

wiring at the electrical source before you connect your RV to a pedestal or power 

distribution box. Detects low voltage and provides 3600 Joules of comprehensive power 

surge protection for all circuits: Hot, Ground, and Neutral.

Warnings & Cautions

 

  The Arcon 30A Surge Protector has no serviceable parts. Do not 

open, alter, or tamper with the surge protector in any way. 

FAILURE 

TO COMPLY WITH THIS WARNING MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE 
TO YOUR EQUIPMENT, PERSONAL INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH 
FROM ELECTRICAL SHOCK!

 

  Do not plug the Arcon 30A Surge Protector into a power source 

unless it has a corresponding 30A circuit breaker installed.

 

  The Arcon 30A Surge Protector plug and receptacles meet strict 

NEMA standards.  Make sure all receptacles and plugs on connected 

devices are properly wired and in good working condition (e.g. no 

frayed cords, loose connectors, or missing pins).

 

  If the Arcon 30A Surge Protector indicates an open ground, 

connecting your coach is not recommended. Ungrounded power 

systems are inherently unstable and can produce excessively high 

line-to-ground voltages during certain fault conditions. During these 

fault conditions any electrical equipment, including a surge protection 

device, may be subjected to voltages which exceed their designed 

ratings. This information is being provided to the user so that an 

informed decision can be made before installing any electrical 

equipment on an ungrounded power system.
