Troubleshooting
If status failure indication occurs or Form C relay has changed
states, a qualified electrician shall first determine if the
systems voltage and proper phasing exists.
If the SPD remains in an alarm condition once the electrician
is satisfied that the electrical system and its connections are
normal, the unit should be repaired. At this point consult the
factory, having available the following information:
• Unit identification number – (refers to the model and serial
numbers detailed on the data label and is located on the front
or upper left [hinge] side of the enclosure.)
• Nature of problem – (including status of all status indicators
and alarms).
Servicing
ONLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL SHOULD PERFORM
MAINTENANCE ON THE SYSTEM.
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT INSIDE THE UNIT
DURING NORMAL OPERATIONS.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY PRE-CAUTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED

Sales Representative or Liebert at 800-288-6169 or
607-721-8840.)
Corrective Maintenance
The Liebert SPD is designed for years of trouble-free operation.
However, even the most reliable equipment may fail under
abnormal conditions.
Diagnostic indicators are provided to indicate when the
unit needs replacement (see individual SPD specification
for details). To ensure continuity of surge protection, failed
units should be replaced at the earliest convenient service
opportunity.
When replacing surge modules, other components should
be inspected for damage and replaced if necessary. Standard
electrical troubleshooting procedures should be used to
isolate problems other than failed surge current diverter
modules.
When replacing components, for continued proper operation
and safety, replace only with identically rated components.
Please contact factory for information on replacement parts.
Preventative Maintenance (Inspection and Cleaning)
Periodic system inspections, cleaning, and connection checks
are recommended to ensure reliable system performance and
continued surge transient protection.
It is difficult to establish a schedule for preventative
maintenance since conditions vary from site to site. Inspections
for failed surge modules using available diagnostics should be
done routinely (weekly or monthly).
