switch moves to the OFF position. Disconnect all equipment from the SurgeArrest before moving
the switch to the ON position.
Protection Working: The LED is normally illuminated indicating that the surge protector is on
and ready to protect connected equipment. If the LED is not illuminated the surge suppression
circuitry has been compromised. Contact Schneider Electric Technical Support (SEIT) using the
contact information provided in this guide.
Ground OK: The LED is normally illuminated indicating that the building wiring is grounded
properly. The LED extinguishes to indicate that a wiring fault has been detected. Possible wiring
faults include a missing ground, a hot neutral polarity reversal, or an overloaded neutral circuit.
Discontinue use and have a qualified electrician correct the building wiring.
