Installation and Operation Manual
TR5000 Series Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors
Model Types: TR5451 and TR5452
THE ENTIRE CONTENT OF THIS INSTRUCTION MUST BE READ AND
FULLY UNDERSTOOD BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY INSTALLATION
If the minimum requirements of this manual are not followed, the TVSS could become irreversibly damaged,
and/or the electrical system could be left unprotected. Failure to comply with the applicable requirements of
this instruction can void the TVSS warranty.
SPECIAL ATTENTION MUST BE GIVEN TO VERIFY THAT A PROPER NEUTRAL-GROUND (XO) BOND
HAS BEEN MADE WHEN POWER IS SUPPLIED FROM AN UPSTREAM TRANSFORMER OR ANY OTHER
TYPE OF SEPARATELY DERIVED POWER SOURCE.
FAILURE TO PROVIDE THIS BOND, AS REQUIRED PER ARTICLE 250.30 OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL
CODE, CAN RESULT IN ELEVATED PHASE TO GROUND SOURCE VOLTAGE POTENTIALS. THESE
VOLTAGES CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AS WELL AS SAFETY HAZARDS
INCLUDING FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, SERIOUS INJURY, OR DEATH.
THE EQUIPMENT COVERED BY THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED
ONLY BY COMPETENT PERSONNEL UTILIZING PROPER SAFETY PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES.
THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE WRITTEN FOR SUCH PERSONNEL AND ARE NOT INTENDED AS A
