the performance of the SPD and are not required to be connected for the SPD to function as

intended. (See pages 9 & 10 for Alarm Contact details)

4.

TEST / ENABLE / DISABLE SWITCH

Enable Position - This is the normal position for the tri-position switch. In the Enable

position, the Audible Alarm will sound in the event of a SPD failure mode.

Disable Position – This position will silence the Audible Alarm if desired. The Disable

switch will not disable or disconnect the SPD from the electrical power system.

Test Position – The Test switch provides a quick diagnostic status of the Audible Alarm,

Alarm Status Indicator and Remote Alarm Contacts. When pressed, the Audible Alarm

will sound, the Alarm Lamp will illuminate, and the Remote Contacts will change state.

The “Test” position is momentary. Once pressed, the switch will automatically reset to

the “Enable Position” upon release.

5.

SURGE COUNTER LCD

The (optional) Surge Counter will sense and record transient surge events that have been

mitigated by the SPD. The counter has been designed to detect transients that exceed the

peak sine wave by more than 70%. If desired, the Surge Counter Display can be reset to zero

at any time by pressing the reset button located on the LCD display.

MAINTENANCE:

GE does not provide a specific schedule for preventative maintenance as conditions will vary

based on location and the environmental factors presented at each installation site. However,

periodic inspections should be scheduled to verify that the SPD does not indicate a failure mode.

Inspections should also be made to check the integrity of the electrical supply connections to the

SPD to ensure continued reliable performance.

SERVICING / TROUBLESHOOTING:

The GE TR7000 Series SPD contains no user serviceable parts and requires no calibration. The

rugged design of the SPD should provide many years of service.

Should a condition occur that results in premature failure of the GE TR7000 SPD, the integral

fusing or required circuit breaker will safely interrupt current flow through the SPD without

disrupting power to the protected equipment. This will remove the SPD from the power

system and the load equipment will remain unprotected from subsequent surge activity until

the SPD is replaced.

If a change in operational status/alarm indication occurs, a qualified (licensed) electrician should

inspect the electrical system to verify electrical system integrity. If the SPD remains in alarm

after system inspection/corrections have been made, the SPD should be replaced. For further

assistance, contact your local sales representative or call GE Power Quality at 1-800-637-1738.

WARNING

IN THE EVENT OF AN SPD ALARM CONDITION, DO NOT ATTEMPT

TO DIS-ASSEMBLE THE SPD TO REPLACE FUSING OR OTHER

COMPONENTS. THE SPD CONTAINS FUSING COMPONENTS THAT

WILL ONLY OPEN WHEN THE SPD HAS FAILED IN A NON-

SERVICEABLE CONDITION. THE ENTIRE SPD MUST BE REPLACED.
