Installation Instructions for Eaton’s Aegis Surge
Protective Device AGPHxxxxx and AGPVxxxxx

Diagnostics
The Aegis PH and PV are supplied with a green LED that will illumi-
nate and indicate power at the output terminals . If the green LED is
not illuminated, it indicates that power is not being supplied to the
Aegis . The LED will not illuminate if there has been a utility power
failure, or an internal failure of the Aegis suppression components .
If the internal suppression components fail, a short circuit will result .
The short circuit will open the overcurrent device on the power sup-
ply, removing power to the Aegis . Whenever power is removed
from an Aegis PH or PV, the green LED will not illuminate, and the
optional monitoring relay (Form C contact), if installed, will change
state .
Maintenance
Preventive Maintenance (Inspection and Cleaning)
– Periodic
system inspections, cleaning, and connection checks are recom-
mended to ensure reliable system performance . There is no defined
schedule for preventive maintenance, as conditions will vary from
installation to installation .
Corrective Maintenance (Repair or Replacement)
– the Aegis
PH and PV are designed to provide years of continuous service .
However, even the most reliable equipment may fail . In the unlikely
case that the LED monitor or remote monitoring (Form C contact)
indicates a failure, check the overcurrent protection on the power
supply . Replace or reset the overcurrent protection . If a problem
still exists, contact Eaton’s Surge Protection application support at:
1-800-809-2772, option 4, option 2 .
