APPLICATION
ERICO's SES 200 Series of Transient Voltage Surge
Suppressors has been designed to deliver specification
grade performance and features at an affordable price.
The versatile and compact design provides high quality
protection for a wide variety of commercial and industrial
applications where sensitive electronic equipment is to
be protected.
The SES provides a service life equivalent to up to
200kA, 8/20µs per line of surge material, making it ideal
for the protection of service entrance panels and
ensuring a long operational life under severe lightning
conditions. Internal electronics continuously monitor
SPD protection, and the status of each mode of
protection is displayed on a 5-segment LED bar graph.
Alarm contacts for remote monitoring is provided as
standard.
The replaceable surge modules provide protection to L-
N and N-G modes, ensuring effective protection from
both common mode and differential transients.
Following ERICO's position as a supplier of quality
lightning and surge protection solutions, the SES 200
Series utilizes Transient Discriminating™ (TD)
technology. Not only does this meet the safety
standards of UL 1449 Edition 2, but provides a superior
life by eliminating the common temporary overvoltage
failure mode of most SPDs.

PREPARATION
DANGER: Electrical shock or burn hazard. The
installation of this Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor
should be made by qualified personnel. Failure
to lockout electrical power during installation or
maintenance can result in fatal electrocution or
severe burns.
CAUTION: Check to make sure line voltage does not
exceed Surge Protector voltage requirement. This
system is designed for 120/240 1-phase or
120/208V or 277/480V 3-phase systems.
CAUTION: This unit must be installed in accordance with
the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA-70) and
applicable local codes, and must be installed on the load
side of the main overcurrent protection.
These instructions should be read in their
entirety before commencing installation.
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Confirm that the voltage system rating as shown on the
SES 200 label located on inside of the enclosure is
appropriate for the intended application.
