ENGLISH
INTRODUCTION
Transient voltage surges are short-term deviations from a desired voltage level or signal that can occur at any time. Such
changes can result in an electronic device malfunction, or cause extensive damage. Also termed "spikes", these occurances
take place as a result of magnetic field/inductive coupling or whenever the line current is interrupted. They can originate from
either inside a facility, or derive from outside utility lines. Sources within a facility involve loads that are switched, such as electric
motors that are turned ON and OFF. Outside transient influences involve utility grid switching.
DESCRIPTION
The Leviton Traffic Light Control Surge Protector, Cat. No. 51020-WMT, is designed for use by Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEM) who desire superior TVSS protection.
SPECIFICATIONS
• UL 1449 TVSS rated
• IEEE C62.41-1991 Combination Wave and Ringwave Suppression
• Three protection modes L-N, L-G, N-G
• Two suppression states — primary and back-up
• Fused for suppression protection failure
GENERAL INFORMATION
• This device is suitable for providing surge protection to electronic equipment. Primary and secondary suppression circuits
are thermal-fuse protected.
• This device is equipped with three diagnostic modes that include LED and audible indicators for suppression failure,
phase-Neutral polarity reversal and open Ground. If surge protection is lost, power is still provided to load until SPD module
is replaced.
• This device is designed for use in equipment or installations requiring a permanent hard-wired device.
• This device must be installed on a line that is served by a series disconnect means with 20 Amp ratings such as a circuit
breaker or fused disconnect switches.
• Staged multi-component surge suppression circuitry provides clamping envelope that follows AC sine-wave contour.
TO INSTALL
WARNING:
TO BE INSTALLED AND/OR USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPROPRIATE ELECTRICAL CODES AND
REGULATIONS.
WARNING:
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT ANY PART OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS, CONSULT A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN.
WARNING:
TO AVOID FIRE, SHOCK, OR DEATH; TURN OFF POWER AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE AND TEST THAT
THE POWER IS OFF BEFORE WIRING!
WARNING:
ELECTROCUTION, FATAL, OR SERIOUS INJURY, AND PROPERTY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE CAN RESULT
FROM FAULTY INSTALLATION AND/OR SERVICING. ALWAYS TURN POWER OFF BEFORE REPLACING MODULES.
WARNING:
THIS DEVICE IS NOT A LIGHTNING ARRESTOR. IT WILL NOT SURVIVE LIGHTNING STRIKES IN CLOSE
PROXIMITY TO THE PREMISES OR SUSTAINED OVERVOLTAGES.
WARNING:
A TVSS MODULE IN A FEED-THROUGH BRANCH CIRCUIT WILL PROVIDE PROTECTION ONLY FOR
LOADS WIRED DIRECTLY TO IT. IT WILL NOT PROVIDE PROTECTION TO ANY OTHER MODULES ON THE SAME
BRANCH CIRCUIT.
CAUTION:
USE THIS DEVICE ONLY WITH COPPER OR COPPER CLAD WIRE. WITH ALUMINUM WIRE USE ONLY
DEVICES MARKED CO/ALR OR CU/AL.
1. RESTORE POWER, if necessary.
2. Determine system voltage of the equipment to be protected. NOTE: Cat. No. 51020-WMT is rated for 120VAC single-phase
Line to Neutral, with Ground return.
3. The unit has three terminals: L-Line, N-Neutral and G-Ground.
4. The unit is a parallel connected, protected device. Operating current does not flow through this device.
5. TURN OFF POWER.
6. Connect the unit to line input as shown in Figure 1. The terminal block will accept #4-#18 AWG wire size. Input wires should
be secured to terminals using 16 in.-lbs. of torque.
7. Restore power at circuit breaker or fuse. INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.
TO OPERATE
1. Turn power ON and check the diagnostic lights. If the unit is properly installed and the system wiring is correct, the Green
Ground LED should be lit. This indicates that power is ON and Ground continuity exists between the protected equipment
and the building power source.
2. If the power is OFF, the Green Ground LED and the Red LED will be OFF.
3. If power is present and the Green LED is OFF, either the Hot and Neutral wiring is reversed in polarity or an open Ground
condition exists.
NOTE: This could be due to a reversal of the polarity in the wiring, an open Ground or an error in the connections.
A potentially unsafe condition exists. Correct immediately.
DIAGNOSTICS
1. Unlit Red LEDs and the absence of audible tone indicate primary and back-up surge protection circuitry is in satisfactory
condition.
2. If either of the two Red LEDs are lit, this signifies power loss of either primary or back-up protection.
NOTE: Back-up surge suppression can be relied on temporarily. The module should be replaced as soon as possible.
3. If both Red LEDs are lit (the audible tone is ON), this signifies that all surge suppression has failed, but power will continue to
be supplied to the load.
4. Relay status circuit and contacts rated at 5 Amps. The voltage rating is 250VAC/125VDC. Contacts accomodate #20-#12
AWG wire secured to terminals using 3.5 in.-lbs. of torque. If both primary and secondary surge protection fail, continuity will
be between the "NO" and "C" contacts.
NOTE: If surge supression failure has occurred, a transient surge has exceeded the rating of the module and it should be
replaced immediately.

INTRODUCTION
Les surtensions transitoires sont de brèves crêtes qui affectent la transmission de signaux électriques ou électroniques et
qui peuvent se produire en tout temps. Ces crêtes peuvent entraîner la défaillance des dispositifs électroniques ou causer
des dommages importants. Elles résultent dʼun couplage inductif/champ magnétique ou dʼune interruption de courant.
Les surtensions peuvent provenir des installations extérieures ou des câbles de services publics. À lʼinterne, cʼest souvent
la commutation de charges motorisées qui en est la cause, tandis quʼà lʼexterne, on blâme surtout celle des réseaux
électriques.
DESCRIPTION
Ce dispositif limiteur de surtensions transitoires (DLST) est idéalement destiné aux fabricants (OEM) de commandes de
feux de circulation qui désirent doter leur équipement dʼune protection de niveau supérieur.
FICHE TECHNIQUE
• Homologation à la norme UL 1449 en matière de DLST
• Limitation des ondes combinées et oscillatoires (IEEE C62.41, 1991)
• Trois modes de protection, soit « L-N », « L-T » et « N-T »
• Deux niveaux de limitation, soit principal et auxiliaire
• Fusibles en cas de défaillance de la protection
RENSEIGNEMENTS GÉNÉRAUX
• Ce dispositif de protection contre les surtensions transitoires convient à lʼéquipement électronique. Ses circuits de
limitation principale et auxiliaire sont protégés par des fusibles thermiques.
• Ce dispositif offre trois modes diagnostiques, par indicateurs visuels ou sonores, en cas de pannes de suppression,
dʼinversion de polarité phase-neutre ou de fuites à la terre. Il est à noter que, même si la protection est perdue, les charges
restent alimentées (le dispositif doit être remplacé).
• Ce dispositif est conçu pour lʼéquipement ou les installations requérant un raccordement fixe.
• Ce tableau doit être installé sur un circuit doté dʼun dispositif raccordé en série apte à couper le courant (disjoncteur ou
sectionneur à fusible de 20 A).
• Formés de composants multiples à action échelonnée, les circuits de limitation présentent une enveloppe de blocage qui suit
de près le contour de lʼonde sinusoïdale c.a.
