Installation
WARNING
INSTALLING AN SPD THAT IS IMPROPERLY RATED FOR THE ELECTRICAL
SYSTEM VOLTAGE COULD CREATE A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS
CONDITION, RESULTING IN INJURY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
CAUTION
EATON SPD PRODUCTS MUST BE INSTALLED OR REPLACED BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN TO AVOID INJURY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
WARNING
TURN OFF THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE WORKING IN ANY ELECTRICAL
CABINET OR ON ANY CIRCUIT BREAKER PANEL. FAILURE TO DO SO
COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH FROM ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
NOTICE
A POOR GROUND, OR GROUNDING/BONDING VIOLATIONS, COULD
PREVENT THE SPD FROM PERFORMING AS SPECIFIED.
For optimal protection, place the Aegis PH and PV as close as possi-
ble to the load being protected . Eaton recommends that the wiring
from the Aegis PH and PV output terminals to the input terminals of
the electronic equipment be kept as short and straight as possible .
This will prevent the wiring from acting as an antenna that picks up
high frequency noise from the environment . Wiring length to the
input terminals of the Aegis PH and PV is not critical .
•
To prevent the risk of electrical shock, TURN OFF and Lock Out
all power sources to the electrical circuit where the Aegis PH and
PV is to be installed .
•
Verify that the power has been disconnected with a portable volt-
meter or other measuring device .
Enclosure Mounting (New applications)
Every Aegis PH and PV includes a DIN Rail and two mounting
screws (#8 Sheet metal screw) to mount the device . Drill appropri-
ate hole sizes, based on material and thickness, at desired spacing
using the DIN Rail slots as a template . After the DIN Rail has been
secured, engage the Aegis PH or PV base (Output side, enclosure
bottom) of the DIN Clip onto the DIN Rail and compress DIN clip
spring by pushing the enclosure towards the Input terminal side of
the enclosure bottom until the opposite side of the DIN Clip hook
engages the DIN Rail . Then slowly release the spring pressure of the
DIN clip securing the Aegis enclosure to the DIN Rail . Proceed to
the appropriate Wiring Instructions .
Enclosure Mounting (Existing Aegis HW
applications)
Aegis HW devices were mounted either with the use of a DIN Rail
or by the enclosure’s base feet with two screws . If the device was
mounted using the enclosure’s base feet, uninstall the Aegis HW
and dispose of the old hardware . If the Aegis HW was mounted
using the DIN Rail feature, place a screwdriver in the slot on the DIN
Clip (Output side at bottom of enclosure), pulling the DIN Clip out
to release the enclosure from the DIN Rail . If the previous device
was DIN Rail mounted you can reuse the existing DIN Rail to mount
the new Aegis PH device . Engage the Aegis PH base (Output side,
enclosure bottom) of the DIN Clip to the DIN Rail and compress
DIN clip spring by pushing the enclosure towards the Input terminal
side of the enclosure until the opposite side of the DIN Clip hook
engages . Then slowly release the spring pressure securing the Aegis
PH enclosure to the DIN Rail .
Wiring Instructions Aegis PH
- Install an overcurrent protection
device on the input side of the Aegis PH . Wire from the overcur-
rent protection device to the input terminal(s) of the Aegis PH . The
terminals are marked L, N, and G . Wire gauge should be selected
to match the amperage of the overcurrent protection device . Ensure
that the proper color wire is used (green or green/yellow – ground,
white or light blue – neutral, black and/or red – phase) . Tighten all
input and output terminal connections to 9 lb-in . Wire from the
Aegis PH output terminals to the input terminals of the protected
load . Tighten all input and output terminal connections to 9 lb-in .
Install terminal block covers by pressing into place on both the input
and output terminals . If the Form C contact is used for remote
monitoring there will be one – N .O . and one – N .C . contact . The
terminal connections are labeled on the top of the enclosure . To
activate, connect the Form C output terminals to an alarm, light or
building monitoring system . Tighten all Form C terminal connections
to 4 lb-in . The relay is rated for a maximum of 250V and 8 amperes .
Recheck all connections . Restore power to the electrical circuit .
Check that the status indicator (green LED) is illuminated . If using
the Form C relay contact, check to see that it is operating as desired .
