4. सेटअप आणि स्थापना

Professional installation by a licensed electrician is strongly recommended. Working with electrical panels can be hazardous. If you are not experienced and comfortable working with line power equipment, consult a qualified professional. For warranty claims, a receipt from a licensed electrician may be required.

स्थापना चरण (सामान्य ओव्हर)view):

1. माउंटिंग: The FS100 can be mounted indoors or outdoors. It is typically installed next to the main electrical panel (load center).
2. वायरिंग: The device connects using four wires: two for line phases, one for neutral, and one for ground. Ensure all connections are secure and comply with local electrical codes. The shorter the wire path from the main to the surge unit, the better for optimal response time.
3. Breaker Connection: The line wires connect to a dedicated 2-pole breaker within the load center. Ensure the breaker is OFF during installation.
4. वेदरप्रूफिंग: If installed outdoors, ensure all connections, especially conduit inlets, are properly sealed and weatherproofed.
5. पॉवर चालू: After installation, turn on the main power and then the dedicated breaker for the surge protector. Verify the status indicators.
