INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing the APC SurgeArrest PM3 Series Surge Protection Device. The APC non-modular Surge Protection Device (SPD) is a high quality, high energy surge attenuation system that has been designed to protect sensitive equipment from damaging transient voltage surges. Proper installation is imperative to maximize the surge suppressor’s effectiveness and performance. Read and understand all information contained in this manual prior to installation.

Service Clearance In addition to national and local code requirements, 32 inches of service clearance is needed at the front of the SPD. Equipment Performance To obtain the maximum system performance, the unit must be located as close to the circuit to be protected as possible, minimizing the interconnecting wire length.

Terminal wire size range for all models is #8 AWG - #1 AWG.
Parallel Connection When making a parallel type of connection (Figure 2), the length of the wiring to the Surge Protection Device (SPD) must be kept as short as possible to substantially enhance the performance. Long wire runs are to be avoided for the unit to perform as intended.
7. Mount the SPD to the wall or other mounting surface using the flanges. The SPD should be installed as close as possible to the panel being protected.

8. Dress the power cables so the ribbon cables will not be pinched, crushed, or other wise damaged when the cover is installed. If connecting Dry Contacts, it may be effective to install communication lines prior to power conductors. 9. Connect the unit to the service panel through the UL approved conduit with anti-short bushings as follows: a. Strip about 3/8" (.95 cm) of the connecting wire insulation from each wire. Note: Terminal wire size range is #8 AWG to #1 AWG.
