Package Contents

Verify that all components are present in the package:

• 1 x SCHELINGER A51-SPD01-4P-B+C CCS Surge Protector (4P 5kA class T1+T2 (B+C))
• 1 x User Manual (this document)

Setup and Installation

The SCHELINGER A51-SPD01-4P-B+C surge protector is designed for mounting on a standard 35 mm DIN rail within an electrical distribution board.

1. Power Disconnection: Before beginning installation, ensure that the main power supply to the electrical panel is completely disconnected and locked out to prevent accidental re-energization.
2. Mounting: Snap the surge protector onto the 35 mm DIN rail. Ensure it is securely fastened.
3. Wiring: Connect the surge protector according to the wiring diagram provided in your electrical panel documentation or by a qualified electrician. Ensure correct phase, neutral, and ground connections. The device is a 4-pole protector.
4. Grounding: Verify that the grounding connection is robust and compliant with all applicable electrical codes. Proper grounding is critical for effective surge protection.
5. Inspection: After wiring, visually inspect all connections to ensure they are tight and correct.
6. Power Restoration: Once installation is complete and verified, restore power to the electrical panel.

Operating Instructions

The SCHELINGER A51-SPD01-4P-B+C is an automatic surge protection device. Once correctly installed and powered, it operates continuously to protect your electrical system from transient overvoltages. There are no user-adjustable settings or controls.

• Status Indicator: The device typically includes a visual indicator (e.g., a green/red flag or LED) to show its operational status. A green indicator usually signifies normal operation, while a red indicator or absence of light may indicate that the protection module has been activated and needs replacement. Refer to the device's specific markings for indicator interpretation.
• Automatic Protection: The device automatically diverts excess voltage to the ground, protecting connected equipment.

Maintenance

Regular inspection of the surge protector is recommended to ensure its continued effectiveness.

• Visual Inspection: Periodically check the status indicator on the device. If the indicator shows a fault (e.g., red flag), the protection module has likely absorbed a significant surge and requires replacement.
• Cleaning: Keep the device free from dust and debris. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners.
• Professional Check: It is advisable to have a qualified electrician inspect your electrical system, including surge protection devices, during routine electrical maintenance.

Troubleshooting

If you suspect an issue with your surge protector, consider the following:

• No Power to Protected Devices:
  • Check the main circuit breaker for the electrical panel.
  • Verify that the surge protector's status indicator is green (operational). If it's red, the module may need replacement.
  • Ensure all wiring connections are secure.
• Frequent Tripping of Circuit Breakers:
  • This could indicate a fault in the electrical system or that the surge protector has been repeatedly exposed to surges. Consult a qualified electrician.
• Surge Protector Indicator is Red:
  • This indicates that the surge protector has absorbed a significant overvoltage event and its protective elements are exhausted. The module requires replacement to restore protection. Contact a qualified electrician for replacement.

For issues not resolved by these steps, contact a qualified electrician or SCHELINGER customer support.
