Introduction Thank you for choosing Siemens TPS3 Surge Protective Device (SPD). This is a high quality, high energy surge suppressor designed to protect sensitive equipment from damaging transient overvoltages. Proper installation is important to maximize performance. Please follow the steps outlined herein. This entire user manual should be read prior to beginning installation. These instructions are not intended to replace national or local codes.
For further information, please review latest editions of NEC® Art. 285, UL 1449, contact your local Siemens sales office or contact Siemens TPS Tech Support at 1.888.333.3545. This device features internal overcurrent and overtemperature protection that will disconnect effected surge suppression components at the end of their useful life, but will maintain power to the load – now unprotected. If this situation is undesirable for the application, follow these instructions for replacing the device.
SPDs on Ungrounded Systems Caution – Ungrounded systems are inherently unstable and can produce excessively high line-to-ground voltages during certain fault conditions. During these fault conditions, any electrical equipment including an SPD, may be subjected to voltages which exceed their designed ratings. This information is being provided to the user so that an informed decision can be made before installing any electrical equipment on an ungrounded power system.
V DANGER V CAUTION Hazardous voltage. Will cause death or serious injury. CONDUCTING DIELECTRIC AND/OR HI-POTENTIAL TESTING WILL CAUSE INTERNAL DAMAGE TO TPS3 UNIT. Keep Out. Qualified personnel only. Disconnect and lock off all power before working on this equipment. Do not perform dielectric or high potential tests with the TPS3 unit installed.

Operation Dry Contact Option Diagnostic Indication Two sets of Form C dry contacts are included with the Dry Contact option. Dry Contacts change state during inoperative conditions, including loss of power. Any status change can be monitored elsewhere via Dry Contacts. Phase indicator LEDs (Green) Each phase is equipped with a Green LED. Should complete loss of surge protection occur on each phase, the Green LED will extinguish and the Red Service LED will flash. Every suppression element is monitored.

Qualified personnel only. Disconnect and lock off all power before working on this equipment. Do not perform dielectric or high potential tests with the TPS3 unit installed. Maintenance Warranty and Customer Service SPDs require minimal maintenance.
