Installation
Installation Overview
The SP120V110KAL30 is a plug-in inline surge protector designed for compatible 120VAC 30 amp electrical circuits using L5-30 style connectors. It is installed between the power source and the connected load, device, extension cord, or electrical circuit being protected.
Connection Method
Connect the L5-30P plug side of the surge protector to the compatible 120VAC 30 amp power source. Connect the L5-30R receptacle side to the connected load, device, extension cord, or equipment being protected.
Common Installation Applications
The SP120V110KAL30 may be used with compatible 120VAC 30 amp L5-30 applications such as generator connections, marine shore power, RV power, portable equipment, and other compatible 120VAC 30 amp circuits.
Verify Compatibility Before Use
Before connecting the surge protector, verify that the electrical system is 120VAC, 30 amp, and uses matching L5-30 style connectors. Do not use this product on 240V circuits, incompatible connector types, or electrical systems outside the product rating.
3-Light Polarity Indicator
The SP120V110KAL30 includes a 3-light polarity indicator to provide a quick visual reference for the wiring condition of the connected 120VAC circuit. After connecting the surge protector to the power source, check the indicator lights before connecting or operating sensitive equipment.
If the polarity indicator shows a wiring issue, do not use the circuit until the power source, receptacle, generator, pedestal, or connected wiring has been inspected and corrected by a qualified person.
Overcurrent Protection Required
The SP120V110KAL30 does not provide short circuit protection. The electrical circuit should have appropriate overcurrent protection, such as a properly rated fuse or circuit breaker, located before the surge protector in the electrical path.
Outdoor and Wet Location Use
The surge protector is designed for harsh environments, but the electrical connectors should be kept in a protected area. Avoid exposing the connector pins to directed water, standing water, or conditions that could damage the electrical connection or create an unsafe condition.
Important Safety Notes
- Use only on compatible 120VAC 30 amp L5-30 electrical connections.
- Do not use on 240V circuits.
- Do not exceed the product voltage or amperage rating.
- Do not submerge the surge protector in water.
- Do not open, modify, or tamper with the device.
- Do not use if the device, cord, plug, receptacle, or connectors are damaged.
- If the 3-light polarity indicator shows a wiring issue, stop use until the issue is corrected.
