Siemens BSPD 100 Series Installation Instructions

BSPDxx100 Series Installation Instructions
These instructions are intended as a guide for installing the Siemens BSPD series of surge protective devices into any approved
panelboard or panel that the BSPD is qualified for. It is the installer's responsibility to ensure the proper device is selected for
the voltage system of the application.

The Siemens BSPD surge protector will fit any location that will accept either a Siemens 2-pole or 3-pole BL/BQD type breaker,
or (with the included adapter) any location an xGB or 3VA41 type breaker will fit. Note: Each SPD comes with an adapter. There
are two surge protector types (see Figure 1): - 2 Pole for Single Phase systems, - 3 Pole for Three Phase systems.
Kit # BSPDXGB1 is available in case the xGB/3VA41 adapter is lost or damaged. This kit contains 1 each of the 2-pole and 3-pole
adapters.

Mechanical and electrical features:
An electronic alarm circuit is included on all product models.
This circuit monitors the integrity of the SPD and alerts the
user, using audible and visual means, in the event of failure.
The circuit is directly powered from the power system to
which the SPD is connected. A flashing green LED indicates
that it is operational. Upon failure of any of the MOVs in the
SPD, an intermittent audible chirp is emitted and the green
LED will change to a flashing red LED. If the user presses the
alarm silence switch/button, the audible chirp is silenced, but
the flashing red LED will remain. This is to warn the user that
the SPD has failed (and needs to be replaced) even though
the alarm has been silenced. Pressing the alarm silence
switch/button again will re-engage the audible chirp.
