Specifications, Installation, and Operating Instructions

Model: SP Plus Family

CAUTION: THE INSTALLATION OF A SURGE PROTECTION DEVICE (SPD) MUST BE DONE BY QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL
PERSONNEL. A SPD MUST BE GROUNDED THROUGH THE POWER SYSTEM GROUND FOR PROPER OPERATION.

WARNING: BEFORE INSTALLING THE SUPPRESSOR, AC POWER MUST BE OFF. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN
DAMAGE TO THE SUPPRESSOR AND POSES A POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD TO PERSONNEL.

WARNING: READ SPD LABEL ON SIDE OF THE ENCLOSURE TO VERIFY VOLTAGE CONFIGURATION.

WARNING: DISCONTINUE INSTALLATION IF THE MEASURED VOLTAGE IS NOT IN THE RANGE OF THE MODEL VOLTAGE
CONFIGURATION OF THE SPD BEING INSTALLED. CONTACT LEA INTERNATIONAL’S TECHNICAL SUPPORT WITH ANY
QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE VOLTAGE CONFIGURATION PRIOR TO INSTALLATION AND APPLICATION OF POWER.

PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES

 Please read the entire installation manual before installing this SPD. Unpack unit carefully, removing packing
material. Inspect for damages during shipment. If unit seems damaged, contact LEA International and
shipping agency. Do not continue to install unit.
 Confirm install location temperature will not exceed SPD rating (-40°C to +85°C).
 Verify that all nuts and bolts have good tight connections.
 Verify install location meets SPD enclosure NEMA type rating (1 or 4) per SPD label.
 Electrical Specification for SPD Installation:
Verify the voltage configuration of the SPD matches actual system voltage configuration of service point.
Ground resistance is less than 25 ohms and all wiring conductors are in accordance with the appropriate
layout/installation drawing.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

 Length of leads and conductor size:

Leads must be as short as possible, not exceeding the recommended length of a foot and a half (1.5’); and
routed with gradual bends avoiding sharp or 90° bends. The SPD comes with #10 AWG wire pre-cut for
installation. Extending existing wire by splicing is not recommended.

 Mounting:
The SPD is installed in parallel with the incoming phase conductors. After removing the clear enclosure cover
screws mount the SPD using the concealed screw holes located near each outside corner of the enclosure.
For the SP100, the mounting holes of the enclosure have a distance in length (from top to bottom) of 4.962”
and a distance in width (from left to right) of 5.748”. And for the SP200, the mounting holes of the enclosure
have a distance in length (from top to bottom) of 9.00” and a distance in width (from left to right) of 5.10”.The
SPD should be mounted as close as possible to the connection of service point; utilizing a ½” knockout in the
panel. Secure a conduit locknut onto the ½” nipple before proceeding.

 Electrical Connection:
Connect the phase input wires (black) to the terminals marked phase 1, phase 2, or phase 3 inputs as
illustrated on the drawings. Connect the neutral input wires (white) to the terminal marked neutral in the
service point, as illustrated in drawings (if applicable). Connect the ground leads (green) to the terminal
marked ground in the service point, as illustrated in the drawings. It is recommended to use a minimum 30
Amp circuit breaker when connecting the SPD.

 Final check:
Check installation of unit as indicated in installation drawings. Apply external AC power to the SPD. The unit
is operational. If all green indicator lamps are illuminated. If not, contact LEA International’s technical support
at +1.208.772.8515.

 Visual inspection:
Operational status of the SPD is verified by observing the phase status indicator LED(s). The LED, illuminated
Green indicates normal operation with all protection modes functioning.

INSTALLATION CHECKLIST:

YES NO
[ ] [ ] The voltage configuration of the SPD matches actual voltage configuration of service point.
[ ] [ ] Ground resistance is less than 25 ohms.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Solution
Alarm sound is audible If disable switch is available. Silence alarm by using disable switch; otherwise use
the circuit breaker to disconnect power and silence the alarm.
Status LED(s) are red This indicates loss of protection in phase(s), unit may need replacement. Please call
LEA technical support to check warranty.
Status LED(s) are not This indicates a loss of power. Please verify power is being supplied to service
illuminated point; if problem persist, call LEA technical support.

LEA Technical Support is available at +1.208.772.8515.
