SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS:
The Consumable SPD Module will absorb the energy of the surges to protect the connected load. If the green LED is OFF, the SPD module is no longer providing protection and should be replaced as soon
as possible.
TO REPLACE CONSUMABLE SURGE MODULE:
1. POWER MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE MODULE BEFORE REPLACING.
2. Disconnect power to SPD unit at service panel and/or disconnect switch(es) before servicing.
3. Remove module to be replaced by firmly pulling straight out from SPD unit. The module door within the unit will close once the module is removed.
4. Make sure SPD module is correctly rated for system.
5. Place new module back into SPD unit. Make sure SPD module alignment key is oriented correctly when inserting.
6. Make sure the module is fully seated.
7. Re-energize SPD unit.
8. Verify the blue and green LED’s within each module are lit.

Overview

1. Function Description
2. Usage Features
3. Maintenance Features

The Intermatic IG2200 Consumable Surge Series is a Type 2 Surge Protective Device (SPD) designed to safeguard connected electrical equipment from momentary transient overvoltage events. It is intended for installation on the load side of the service panel and requires overcurrent protection.

Function Description:

The primary function of the IG2200 SPD is to absorb the energy of voltage surges, thereby protecting downstream electrical loads. It features internal protection that disconnects the surge protective component at the end of its useful life while maintaining power to the load. This means that even after the surge protection capability is exhausted, the device will not interrupt the power supply to the connected equipment, though the equipment will then be unprotected from future surges. It is crucial for users to be aware of this and replace the SPD module promptly when its protective function is no longer active. The device is specifically designed to handle over-voltage events resulting from momentary voltage spikes or surges on an AC power line, preventing them from affecting downstream equipment. It is important to note that this device does not protect against nearby lightning strikes or provide protection during utility voltage swells or loss of neutral conditions, as these are not considered transient events. The IG2200 is suitable for both residential and commercial applications.

Usage Features:

The IG2200 SPD is designed for straightforward installation and monitoring.

• Installation: The device should be installed by qualified personnel in accordance with national and local electrical code requirements. Before installation or servicing, power must be disconnected at the service panel or disconnect switch. The SPD unit should be located as close as possible to the load it is intended to protect. The enclosure can be mounted using suitable fasteners, and only one conduit connection should be made to the SPD enclosure. For outdoor or wet locations, raintight conduit hubs complying with UL514B standards must be used. Wiring connections must follow the provided diagram, ensuring all wires are cut to a minimum suitable length with a 4-inch recommended bend radius, avoiding excess coiling, and making sure all connections are secure.
• Status Indicators: Each Consumable Surge Module within the SPD unit is equipped with two LED indicators:
  • A blue LED indicates that the SPD unit has power.
  • A green LED indicates that the SPD module is actively providing protection. When the green LED is OFF, it signifies that the module is no longer providing protection and needs to be replaced.
• Enclosure Options: The IG2200 offers various enclosure types, including plastic outdoor, metal outdoor, and a metal indoor enclosure (flush mount kit).
• Voltage Rating: Users must confirm that the SPD is correctly rated for their system voltage (e.g., 120/240 VAC single phase).

Maintenance Features:

The IG2200 Consumable Surge Series is designed with user-replaceable modules to ensure continuous protection.

• Module Replacement: The Consumable SPD Module is designed to absorb surge energy. When its green LED is OFF, it indicates that the module is no longer providing protection and should be replaced as soon as possible. The replacement process is critical and must be performed safely:
  1. Power Disconnection: Power must be removed from the module before replacement. This involves disconnecting power to the SPD unit at the service panel and/or disconnect switch(es).
  2. Module Removal: The module to be replaced is removed by firmly pulling it straight out from the SPD unit. The module door within the unit will automatically close once the module is removed.
  3. New Module Insertion: Ensure the new SPD module is correctly rated for the system. Place the new module back into the SPD unit, making sure its alignment key is correctly oriented when inserting and that the module is fully seated.
  4. Re-energization and Verification: After replacing the module, re-energize the SPD unit. Verify that both the blue and green LEDs within each module are lit, confirming power and active protection.
• Warranty: The product comes with a limited warranty, covering defects in material and workmanship for the base units and consumable modules. It also includes a connected equipment warranty, offering repair or reimbursement for major household connected electrical equipment damaged as a direct result of the SPD's failure to protect against power transients. Claims must be submitted promptly, following a specific procedure that includes contacting the Intermatic Claims Center, obtaining an Incident Claim Report, filing a claim with homeowners insurance, and sending the device and required documentation to Intermatic.
