How to Install the STXH120P05N Surge Protective Device (SPD)

Installation guide for mounting and wiring the STXH120P05N Surge Protective Device (SPD).

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors, Watertight fittings (for outdoor applications)

  1. Verify System Compatibility

    Confirm that the system voltage and configuration match the SPD's voltage and configuration. Refer to the product's nameplate or datasheet for specific values.

  2. De-energize Equipment

    Turn off all power supplying the equipment. Verify that the equipment and all power sources are de-energized before proceeding. Follow safe electrical work practices and use appropriate PPE.

  3. Determine Mounting Location

    Select a mounting location for the SPD. It should be as close to the equipment as possible, with leads kept straight and short. If using a circuit breaker, identify its location (a 30A breaker is recommended). Position the SPD so the LED status indicator is visible.

  4. Mount the SPD

    Mount the STXH120P05N Surge Protective Device in the determined location. For outdoor applications, ensure watertight fittings are used to maintain the NEMA 4X rating.

  5. Make Electrical Connections

    Make the electrical connections to the SPD. For optimal performance, trim the leads to the shortest possible length, avoiding loops, coils, or sharp bends. Connect the SPD in parallel. Refer to the wiring diagram and ensure proper grounding (XON-G bonding at the upstream transformer).

  6. Energize and Verify Operation

    Energize the system and confirm the proper operation of the green LED status indicator. A green LED indicates the unit is functioning correctly. If the LED is off, the unit may be damaged, the circuit may be de-energized, or the SPD leads may be disconnected.
