ENGLISH

Thank you for choosing an APT XCS Surge Protective Device (SPD). The XCS is a high quality, high

energy surge suppressor designed to protect sensitive equipment from damaging transient overvoltages.

The XCS is parallel connected such that circuit ampacity is unlimited. Proper installation is important to

maximize performance. Please follow steps outlined herein. These instructions are not intended to replace

national or local codes. Follow all applicable electrical codes to ensure compliance.

UL 1449 Third Edition (Sept 2009) and 2008

NEC

Article 285 generated substantial

changes regarding SPDs.

The XCS complies with latest regulatory

actions and is UL 1449 Listed as such

(VZCA.E321351). There is new emphasis on

installation location, identied as Types 1, 2,

3 and 4, outlined below.

SPD Types (see 2008 NEC

Article 285 and/or UL 1449-3):

Type 1: Installation on the line side or load side of the service

disconnect overcurrent device and may be used in Type 2 or Type

4 installations. Examples: surge arrestors, lightning arrestors,

meter hubs, metering cabinets, ran out of breaker positions, etc..

Type 2: Downstream of service disconnect; probably will

connect via breaker. Examples: switchboards, power panels,

panelboards, equipment, motors, pumps, etc.

Type 3: Plug-in SPD

Type 4:

Usually treated as a UL Recognized component in a larger

UL Listed nished product. Examples: UL 508 control panels, medical

equipment, wind turbines, signage, conveyers, elevators, etc.
