Total Home Surge Protection4home Surge Protective Devices

“...everything in the home is microelectronic based.”

SPD4home

· Surge Protection for all electrical and electronic equipment inside the home

· Installed at the loadcentre (main electrical panel)

SPD4tel

· Surge Protection for incoming telephone/ DSL service

· Installed at the utility box

SPD4coax

· Surge Protection for incoming cable TV or satellite service

· Installed at the incoming coax cable line from the cable company

In today’s electronic world, your home’s electrical, phone and cable systems are incomplete unless they incorporate surge protection. Since most everything in the home is microelectronic based, it is not practical to rely solely on surge protected plug strips.

Appliances, heating and cooling systems, garage door openers and even energy-saving light bulbs are examples of equipment that can’t be surge protected by plug strips. The cost to repair or replace these items due to surge damage far exceeds the cost of a total home surge protection solution.

To effectively surge protect ALL of your home’s equipment, use Siemens 4home family of surge protective devices. They are designed to STOP SURGES at the incoming service before they can travel down power, cable and telephone lines to damage your equipment.

To effectively surge protect your appliances and other sensitive electronic equipment, you need to STOP SURGES before they get into your home and also control surges generated inside your home. Damaging surges enter your home primarily through the main utility power source, coax and telephone services. When left unprotected, surges will permeate throughout the home damaging electronics and appliances.

What is a Surge? A surge, sometimes called a transient or a spike, is a brief burst of energy (voltage and current). The most damaging surges enter through your home’s power, cable and telephone lines. However, the majority of surges originate within the home from the action of motor based appliances like dishwashers, refrigerators, garage door openers, etc.

How do surges affect my equipment?Large surges can damage equipment by “burning up” the internal components of your sensitive electronic equipment and appliances. Moderate surges disrupt equipment operation and damage internal components. Lower energy surges degrade equipment, which is referred to in the industry as “electronic rust.”

Why do you need this type of surge protection?The only way to surge protect microelectronic based appliances is through the application of an incoming service entrance surge protector like Siemens SPD4home.

SPD4home SPD4home stops power surges from entering your electrical system and protects your appliances, heating and cooling systems, and more. Every SPD4home includes GIM Diagnostics.

What is Ground Integrity Monitoring (GIM) Diagnostics?Under normal conditions, there is no voltage between neutral and ground in your home’s electrical system. Although rare, a lost or loose connection to the system neutral, or the system ground, can cause a voltage differential between neutral and ground. This is a serious condition that could cause serious damage to equipment in the home and requires immediate corrective action. The SPD4home’s GIM Diagnostics will alert the homeowner if this condition exists. Call a licensed electrician immediately!

SPD4coax and SPD4tel SPD4coax and SPD4tel stops cable and telephone surges at the incoming service before they have a chance to travel to cable TV and telephone outlets.

Warranty 10 year, $100,000 connected equipment white appliance warranty covering all major appliances.* (*See written warranty)

Level1 Level2 Level3For standard residential applications, our Level 1 surge protector model SPD4home protects from surges entering through the primary paired conductors (L-N and L-G). This unit’s surge current capacity of 40 kA per phase provides standard redundancy and robustness to ensure years of service for those areas with stable utility service and average storm activity. When this device reaches end of life or if there is an issue concerning the neutral to ground bond of the electrical system, you will be alerted via the audible alarm and red service light.

The SPD4home features include the following:

Siemens Level 2 SPD model TPS3A1110D builds upon our Level 1 features offering increased surge current capacity of 100 kA per phase. In addition, this SPD includes noise filter pre-conditioning the power before it reaches your sensitive electronics. The TPS3A1110D is equipped with dry contacts that when connected to a building management system can alert the homeowner that protection is lost.

The TPS3A1110D features include the following:

Siemens Level 3 SPD model TPS3A12200X0 extends Level 2 surge current capacity to 200 kA per phase, which is the level most commonly specified for commercial applications. In addition, this SPD includes all the features found in our level 1 and 2 SPDs with the added benefit of a surge counter. Whenever the TPS3A12200X0 suppresses a surge, the surge counter will increment providing a visible assurance and quantitative records of surges being stopped from entering the home.

The TPS3A12200X0 features include the following:

Siemens 4home Family of Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) protects your home from surges entering through your power, coax and telephone services. Since coax and telephone services are common to most all residences, once size fits all surge protection applies. This is not the case when surge protecting your incoming electrical service.

Depending upon the size of residence, contents and specialty use (home theatre and/or office), residential electrical systems can mimic commercial grade systems in cost and critical nature of equipment operation. When it comes to surge protecting residential electrical systems, Siemens offers three levels (1, 2 and 3) of power surge protection for those looking for assurance commercial grade surge protection solutions afford.

Siemens 4home family of power surge protectors provide protection coverage for all residential electrical system grades found in North American residences.

Installation Instructions:

DO NOT INSTALL DURING ACTIVE STORM CONDITIONS. Note: It is important to keep all connecting leads as short as possible. Additionally, conductors should be gently twisted 1 to 2 twists per foot or tie wrap together for as much of the wire run as possible.

1. Ensure power to the panelboard has been removed.2. Remove the screws securing the outer panelboard cover to the panelboard (see Figure 1). 3. If SPD has optional flush mount kit (SPD4Flush) please follow instructions provided with the SPD4Flush and then proceed to #4 in this

manual.4. Select the location where the SPD4home will be mounted (should be based on the internal configuration of the panelboard and the physical

surroundings outside the panelboard). Note that the SPD4home’s lead length must be minimized to achieve maximum performance. Once the location and threaded connection has been determined, drill or punch an appropriate size hole in the top, bottom or side surface of the panelboard. The ideal mounting location will also allow the SPD4home to be secured to the wall or panel in addition to using a chase nipple or short threaded pipe.

5. Push the leads from the SPD4home through the hole toward the inside of the panelboard. Secure the SPD4home to the panelboard.6. If possible, to provide extra rigidity in the installation, attach the SPD4home to the wall or panel using installer supplied hardware.7. Trim the leads from the SPD4home as short as possible, but still allowing the following connections to be made (see Figure 1):

▪ Black wires go to the nearest free 20 Amp 2 pole circuit breaker. The phase of each lead is marked with a white band and letter designator (L1 or L2). Connect the SPD4home leads to the appropriate phases. (In all installations, it is not critical which black wire goes to the positions on the circuit breaker.)

▪ Connect the white Neutral wire to the neutral bar using a set screw (in some applications, this connection may not be required). ▪ Connect the green Ground wire to the panelboard ground.

8. Install the panelboard cover. Note: Conducting dielectric and/or high potential testing will cause internal damage to the SPD4home unit. DO NOT perform dielectric or high potential tests with the phase or neutral SPD4home wires connected.

9. Apply power to the panelboard. The two LEDs will illuminate on the SPD4home. If any connected phase LED on the SPD4home does not illuminate, remove power, check all connections and test again. If any connected phase LED still does not illuminate, contact Siemens Technical Support 1-888-333-3545.
