The contacts are designed for a Maximum voltage of 24 VDC and a 
maximum current of 2 A. Higher energy applications may require additional 
relay implementation outside the SPD. Damage to the SPD’s relay caused 
by use with energy levels in excess of those discussed in this instruction 
manual are not covered by warranty. For application questions, contact 
your APC representative. 
Care must be taken in installing the dry contact wiring because the 
terminals are on a moving door. Avoid the door hinge, any disconnect 
switches, and the high voltage areas of the enclosure when routing the 
wiring. To avoid the door hinge, secure the dry contact wires to the 
existing cable harness which crosses the hinge. Once the dry contact 
wiring is secured on a non-moving point of the enclosure, it is the user’s 
responsibility to maintain separation between dry contact wiring and the 
power wiring in the enclosure.

DRY CONTACTS The modular panel SPD’s come with dry contacts. The connection for 
the dry contacts is located on the back of the diagnostic display panel 
(lower right corner). The dry contacts are 3-position, Form "C" type with 
Normally Open (NO), Normally Closed (NC) and Common (COM) connections. 
The unpowered state shall be closed between terminals NO and COM. 
This is also the alarm condition. The opposite state, closed between 
terminals NC and COM, indicates that power is on to the unit and that 
no alarm condition exists (See Table 3). These contacts can be used for 
remote indication of the SPD’s operating status to a computer interface 
board or emergency management system.
