Quick Reference - Electrician Installation Information
WARNING!
Failure to confirm voltage can result in serious damage, injury, or even death.
1.
Confirm Voltage. Confirm the voltage of the Surge Protective Device (SPD) device matches the
utility voltage. (Reference Section I, System Identification Labels.) Should the Utility Voltage not
match the SPD voltage, DO NOT INSTALL THE SPD – CONTACT YOUR LOCAL SALES
REPRESENTATIVE OR THOR SYSTEMS, INC.
2. Neutral-Ground Bond Confirmation. If the SPD is connected to a Split Phase, 3 Phase WYE, or 3
Phase High-Leg Delta Transformer supplied source, confirm the Neutral and Ground have a
bonding jumper in place. Note: If the X-0 bond is not in place, do NOT install SPD.
I.
3.
Mounting Location Recommendations. Mount the SPD in a location that ensures the
conductors are as short and straight as possible.
4.
Wire Size: #6AWG is recommended.
5.
Safety Ground. Per NEC Article 250, ground the TVSS device to the nearest NEC-approved
grounding electrode. A mechanical lug is provided and labeled as “Ground.”
6.
Form C Contacts: Models that include a Form C Contact need to have the wires enter the SPD
through a knockout other than the power wire knockout. Keep a minimum of two inches (2”)
separation between the Form C wires and the power wires.
SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION LABELS

UL Label. All SPDs have a UL label affixed. This label includes the
proper UL marks as well as the UL assigned Voltage Performance
Ratings (VPR). It also provides the Model Number and Voltage Rating of
the SPD. Prior to installation, verification of the voltage MUST be
confirmed. You must confirm that the voltage and service configuration
of the SPD match the voltage and service configuration of the distribution
equipment the SPD will be connected to.

Per NEC Article 285 Section 6, prior to installation the fault current
coordination between the utility service and the SPD to be installed must
be confirmed. The AIC rating of the SPD must be equal to (or greater
than) the AIC rating of the distribution equipment supplying the
installation.

Indicating LEDs. The Green STATUS LED is used to indicate power is applied to the Surge
Protective Device. The Red ALARM LED is used to indicate a loss of a protection mode within the
unit. The Yellow ENABLE LED indicates the status of the Audible Alarm and, finally, the Yellow
ACTIVE SURGE LED illuminates during an actual counted
surge event.
TYPE 2 MONITOR
B.
LED Display. The four (4) digit LED 5x7 dot matrix smart
alpha-numeric display uses both alpha and numeric characters
to count up to 27,000 impulse events. This is accomplished
by converting the first character into a letter when the 10,000
impulse level is reached (example, A000). The letter is then
incremented after each subsequent 1000 impulses for a total
of 26,999 (example, Z999) counts.
C.
Membrane Switches
D.
1.
ON. Pressing the ON switch will power the monitor
on and off, extinguishing all LEDs and the Display.
Pressing the ON switch a second time will illuminate
the LEDs and Display in the same configuration as
before the monitor was turned off. Any impulses
recorded on the Display will be stored in an EE prom
and will be displayed again when the monitor is turned
back on.
2.
ACK. Pressing the ACK switch will silence the
Audible Alarm in an alarm condition. If the Alarm condition has cleared, pressing the ACK
switch again will reset the display to the normal condition.
3.
ENABLE. Pressing the ENABLE switch enables and disables the Audible Alarm function
on the SPD. The current status is indicated by the Yellow ENABLE LED. If the Yellow
LED is illuminated, the Audible Alarm is enabled. If the Yellow LED is not illuminated, the
Audible Alarm is disabled.
4.
RESET. The RESET switch will reset the impulse counter back to zero. Due to the
advantages of knowing the total number of impulses the unit has experienced in a diagnostic
situation, the RESET switch requires additional inputs for a reset to be performed. Please
contact THOR SYSTEMS’Customer Service, for these additional inputs.
Sensitivity Settings. The TSm 270a monitor has the capability of adjusting the sensitivity of the count
circuitry. Often due to the electrical environment at the installation, the counter can experience excessive
events that are continuously incremented, or lower level events that do not trigger the counter. The
Sensitivity Settings allow an adjustment of the circuit due to the electrical environment without requiring
a hardware change.

To adjust the Sensitivity Setting, press and hold the ENABLE and ACK switches. After three (3)
seconds, the LED display will change to the sensitivity screen [SEN?]. The question mark (?) will
actually display the current sensitivity setting--factory set to “3”.
Using the ON and RESET switches will increase and decrease the sensitivity setting. The lower the
setting, the more sensitive the circuit becomes, the higher the setting the less sensitive the circuit is.
Settings are provided from “1”to “8.” After the new level is selected, press the ACK switch. The
monitor will return to normal operation and the sensitivity level will be displayed on any power-up
function of the monitor.

SURGE TILE REPLACEMENT
A.
Surge Tile Identification: The TSr Series allows for failed Surge Tiles to be replaced in the field
by a qualified electrician. The Surge Tile voltage rating varies based on the system voltage. The
Surge Tile is keyed and numerically color-coded to prevent the installation of an incorrect voltage
Surge Tile. The table below identifies the numeric, color and key value of the Surge Tile per
