Thank you for choosing an APT XCS Surge Protective Device (SPD). The XCS is a high quality, high
energy surge suppressor designed to protect sensitive equipment from damaging transient overvoltages.
The XCS is parallel connected such that circuit ampacity is unlimited. Proper installation is important to
maximize performance. Please follow steps outlined herein. These instructions are not intended to replace
national or local codes. Follow all applicable electrical codes to ensure compliance.
UL 1449 Third Edition (Sept 2009) and 2008
NEC ® Article 285 generated substantial
changes regarding SPDs.
The XCS complies with latest regulatory
actions and is UL 1449 Listed as such
(VZCA.E321351). There is new emphasis on
installation location, identified as Types 1, 2,
3 and 4, outlined below.
SPD Types (see 2008 NEC ® Article 285 and/or UL 1449-3):
Type 1: Installation on the line side or load side of the service
disconnect overcurrent device and may be used in Type 2 or Type
4 installations. Examples: surge arrestors, lightning arrestors,
meter hubs, metering cabinets, ran out of breaker positions, etc..
Type 2: Downstream of service disconnect; probably will
connect via breaker. Examples: switchboards, power panels,
panelboards, equipment, motors, pumps, etc.
Type 3: Plug-in SPD
Type 4: Usually treated as a UL Recognized component in a larger
UL Listed finished product. Examples: UL 508 control panels, medical
equipment, wind turbines, signage, conveyers, elevators, etc.
