4. Installation (Hardwire)
The Surge Guard 35530 is designed for hardwire installation. This process requires electrical knowledge and should be performed by a qualified professional.
4.1. انسٽاليشن کان اڳ جا مرحلا
- بجلي بند ڪريو: Ensure the RV is completely disconnected from all external power sources (shore power, generator, inverter).
- جڳھ چونڊيو: Choose a dry, protected location within the RV's electrical bay or compartment, close to where the main shore power cable enters the RV and before the main breaker panel. Ensure adequate ventilation and space for wiring.
- چڙهڻ: Securely mount the Surge Guard unit using appropriate fasteners. Ensure the unit is oriented correctly with the "LINE" input and "LOAD" output terminals as indicated on the device.
4.2. وائرنگ جون هدايتون
- تارن جي سڃاڻپ ڪريو: ايندڙ 30 جي سڃاڻپ ڪريو Amp shore power cable (LINE) and the cable leading to the RV's main breaker panel (LOAD). These typically consist of a hot (black), neutral (white), and ground (green/bare copper) wire.
- Cut and Strip: Carefully cut the incoming shore power cable at the chosen installation point. Strip approximately 1/2 inch of insulation from the ends of the hot, neutral, and ground wires for both the LINE and LOAD sides.
- Connect LINE Input:
- ايندڙ کي ڳنڍيو گرم (ڪارو) wire from the shore power cable to the terminal labeled "LINE HOT" on the Surge Guard.
- ايندڙ کي ڳنڍيو غير جانبدار (اڇو) wire from the shore power cable to the terminal labeled "LINE NEUTRAL" on the Surge Guard.
- ايندڙ کي ڳنڍيو گرائونڊ (سائي / بيئر) wire from the shore power cable to the terminal labeled "LINE GROUND" on the Surge Guard.
- Connect LOAD Output:
- ڳنڍيو گرم (ڪارو) wire leading to the RV's main breaker panel to the terminal labeled "LOAD HOT" on the Surge Guard.
- ڳنڍيو غير جانبدار (اڇو) wire leading to the RV's main breaker panel to the terminal labeled "LOAD NEUTRAL" on the Surge Guard.
- ڳنڍيو گرائونڊ (سائي / بيئر) wire leading to the RV's main breaker panel to the terminal labeled "LOAD GROUND" on the Surge Guard.
- محفوظ ڪنيڪشن: Ensure all terminal screws are tightened securely to prevent loose connections, which can cause overheating or intermittent operation.
- وائرنگ جي تصديق ڪريو: Double-check all wiring connections against the diagram provided with the unit and ensure correct polarity.
4.3. پوسٽ لڳائڻ
Once wiring is complete, carefully close any access panels. Reconnect shore power and observe the indicator lights on the Surge Guard unit.
5. آپريشن
The Surge Guard 35530 operates automatically once installed and connected to shore power. It continuously monitors the electrical supply and provides visual feedback through its indicator lights.
5.1. اشارو بتيون
The unit features several LED indicator lights to communicate its status:
- POWER ON (Green LED): Illuminates when the unit is receiving power and is operational.
- CAUTION WHEN FLASHING (Amber LED): Flashes to indicate a detected fault condition that has caused the unit to disconnect power to the RV. Refer to the troubleshooting section for specific fault interpretations.
- LINE 1 (Green = OK, Red = Fault) (Green/Red LED):
- سائو: Indicates the incoming Line 1 (Hot) connection is good.
- ڳاڙهو: Indicates a fault on Line 1, such as low/high voltage or reverse polarity.
- SURGE (No Protection When Lit) (Red LED): Illuminates when the internal surge protection components have been compromised or used up due to a significant surge event. The unit will continue to pass power but will no longer provide surge protection. Replacement of the unit is recommended.
5.2. Power Restoration Delay
Upon initial connection to shore power or after a power interruption, the Surge Guard 35530 will perform a diagnostic check. There will be a 128-second delay before power is supplied to the RV. This delay is crucial for protecting sensitive appliances, especially the air conditioning compressor, from damage caused by rapid power cycling.
6. مسئلا حل ڪرڻ
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Surge Guard 35530.
| علامتي | ممڪن سبب | حل |
|---|---|---|
| No power to RV, CAUTION light flashing. | Detected fault: Open ground, open neutral, low/excessive voltage, miswired pedestal, or reverse polarity. |
|
| LINE 1 LED is Red. | Fault detected on Line 1 (Hot wire). |
|
