a. Verify the system voltage and wiring configuration is the same as the enclosed model HxC 100/300/400 by checking it against the
product label located on the front cover of the enclosure.
b. Review the installation area to ensure the proper space is available to properly mount and install the HxC 100/300/400. The enclosure
should be mounted no more than 3 feet away from the distribution panel.
c. Check that the buildings facility grounding system meets all NEC & CEC requirements as well as local codes. A low resistance ground
system is essential to the proper functioning of any surge suppression device. The soil resistance level should be no more than 25 ohms. This
can be verified by performing a soil resistivity test.
a. For service entrance applications, install the suppressor at the main distribution panel on the load side after the main disconnect. Ensure
that the enclosure’s hinged door can be opened and closed without interference from the surrounding area. This is to provide internal
access to the device if necessary. IMPORTANT! Remember to keep conductor lead length to a minimum; 3ft or less.
b. For Feeder/Sub-panel applications, install the suppressor directly adjacent to the panelboard. Ensure that the enclosure’s hinged door
can be opened and closed without interference from the surrounding area. This is to provide internal access to the device if necessary.
IMPORTANT! Remember to keep conductor lead length to a minimum; 3ft or less.
a. TURN OFF the power to the distribution panel where the model HxC 100/300/400 will be installed.
b. Install a circuit breaker to feed the model HxC 100/300/400 surge suppressor. This will allow safety personnel to remove power from the
device in order to diagnose or service the unit. In addition, the device incorporates internal fusing, UL & CSA approved, that will protect
against short circuit fault conditions within the unit.
c. Install either a rigid or flexible metal conduit between the model HxC 100/300/400 and the distribution panel.
d. Run wires from the distribution panelboard to the terminals of the model HxC 100/300/400.
e. Strip the ends of the wire and terminate within the model HxC 100/300/400 terminals and panelboard.

Notes:
I. A time delay fused disconnect switch can be used in lieu of circuit breaker.
II. A circuit breaker is not required for installation of model HxC 100/300/400’s with integral disconnect switches.
