Installation Instructions
Surge Counters
1. Introduction
1.1
These installation instructions apply to the Novaris range of
surge counters with the following catalogue numbers:
•
TSC1-IP65
•
TSC1-DIN
•
TSC1-DIN-EC
1.2
These products are used to count the number of surges
experienced at a site. The TSC1-DIN-EC also doubles as an
earth clamp. This eliminates the problems associated with
having two separate earths by clamping the two together
during a surge.

2. Installation of TSC1-IP65
2.1
Using the clamps provided, the TSC1-IP65 model is simply
clamped to a downconductor (as shown in Figure 2) or to an
earth return conductor of a surge diverter or surge filter.
To adjust the clamps, remove the clear plastic front of the
unit. The clamps may then be tightened or loosened using
a suitably long phillips head screwdriver in the four round
holes at the corners of the TSC1-IP65.

3. Installation of TSC1-DIN & TSC1-DIN/EC
3.1 TSC1-DIN:
If using a MEN wiring system, the TSC1-DIN
should be connected between the neutral terminal of a surge
filter or surge diverter and the neutral bar for the system.
In a non MEN system the TSC1-DIN should be connected
between the earth terminal of a surge filter or surge diverter
and earth. Lead lengths must be kept as short as possible.
3.2 TSC1-DIN/EC:
The TSC1-DIN-EC model is connected
between two different earthing systems as shown in Figure 4.
Again, lead lengths must be kept as short as possible.
3.3 Earth:
All units should be mounted on a DIN rail. For safety
it is crucial the DIN rail is electrically connected to earth.
3.4 Display unit:
The display unit is connected as shown
in Figure 6. The connecting leads do not need to be kept
short but should be routed away from electrically noisy
environments. This allows the display unit to be panel
mounted in a convenient location.
