(These are smaller than the 10 AWG SPD conductors.) mounted in a conspicuous location. For example, assume that the Gray is Common, Red is Normally Open and Blue is Normally Closed. SPD is mounted such that it is not readily visible. A Remote Indicator (We generally recommend the Normally Closed configuration because can provide visual indication of correct operation. it detects disconnected or failed wiring whereas normally open does not.) Operation is straightforward: Green LED On = SPD is OK. If the LED is out, the SPD has failed; power is not present, or one or more phases If the dry contacts are not utilized, insulate lead ends, coil and secure.
