User manual INTERMATIC IG1240RC

[. . . ] OPERATION Both green indicator lights will be ON when power is present and the IG1240RC is operating properly. If one of the indicator lights is OFF, check the breakers to make sure that both are on and not tripped. If one or both of the green indicators are OFF, and the red indicator is on, the IG1240RC is no longer protecting. [. . . ] Use a circuit tester or AC voltmeter to be sure the electricity is "OFF" before you touch wires or devices. This device is suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering not more than 25, 000 rms symmetrical ampers, 240 volts maximum. NOTE: ELECTRICAL GROUND IS REQUIRED FOR THIS UNIT TO FUNCTION PROPERLY AND SAFELY! INTERMATIC INCORPORATED SPRING GROVE, ILLINOIS 60081-9698 HTTP: WWW. INTERMATIC. COM STEP 1 Select a mounting location for the Surge Protection Device (SPD) which will allow convenient connection to the panel while keeping the lead wires as short as possible. Use an AC voltmeter or circuit tester across two breaker outputs to confirm that there is 240 volts between them. If the voltage is 0, select a different breaker of equal amperage. 158IG11162 STEP 2 Check all parts to be sure none are missing. You should have: QUANTITY DESCRIPTION 1 IG1240RC Panel Protector with a threaded connector and locking nut. 1 Conduit Nut STEP 10 The two black wires remaining must be connected to two separate 15 or 20 amp circuit breakers, not to each other, to insure connection across the full 240 volt AC incoming power circuit. Use the AC voltmeter or circuit tester across the black wire connection to be sure the protector is providing full protection to your panel. It may be necessary to add new breakers. STEP 3 Select the mounting for the protector at the panel. 3) call (815) 675-7000 for assistance between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm, weekdays, central time. STEP 11 Check to be sure all wires are securely fastened and all screws are tight. You can confirm that the protector is wired to the correct breakers if you can read 220 to 240 volts AC between the two breakers that the protector is connected to. If there is no voltage between the two breakers, check to be sure that both of the breakers and the master breaker are "ON". If there is still no voltage between the two breakers, then they are probable on the same leg, and you will have to select another breaker for one of the black wires. BE SURE TO TURN OFF THE MAIN BREAKER BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO MOVE ANY WIRES. (continued on back. . . ) STEP 4 If you do not have a main power shut "OFF" (master switch) do not attempt the work. Use the circuit tester or AC voltmeter to be sure the circuits are off. STEP 5 Carefully remove the front trim panel. [. . . ] DO NOT COIL EXCESS LEAD. STEP 8 Route the green wire to the ground bus bar provided in the breaker panel. Some panels do not have a separate ground bus bar so the green wire must then be connected to the neutral bus bar mentioned in Step 9. This wire must be connected for safety purposes. STEP 9 Next, route and connect the white wire to the neutral bus bar provided in the breaker panel. (FIG. [. . . ]
