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 Eaton PH and PV as close as possi-
ble to the load being protected . Eaton recommends that the wiring
from the Eaton 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 Eaton 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 Eaton PH or
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 Eaton PH and PV device includes a DIN Rail and two mount-
ing screws (#8 Sheet metal screw) to mount the device . Drill
appropriate 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 Eaton 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 Eaton PH or PV 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 Eaton PH device . Engage the Eaton 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 Eaton
PH enclosure to the DIN Rail .
Wiring Instructions Eaton PH Device
- Install an overcurrent
protection device on the input side of the Eaton PH device . Wire
from the overcurrent protection device to the input terminal(s) of
the Eaton PH device . 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 Eaton PH output terminals to the input
terminals of the protected load . Tighten all input and output termi-
nal 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 .
