Determine  the  mounting  location  of  the  TPS3  in  the  distribution
equipment.  If  it  is  to  be  mounted  in  the  top  of  the  distribution
equipment or relocated after installation, internal phase labeling
connections must be changed to ensure proper diagnostic board
indication. These modifications should be made prior to installation. If
the TPS3 module is field installed in the bottom, or if it is mounted in
a factory assembled panelboard, the internal phase label connections
are correct as shipped.

The following instructions are for the installation of the Siemens TPS3
01 and L1 SPD modules in Siemens Type P1 lighting panelboard. All
hardware is supplied for complete installation of the TPS3 module.
See page 2, Table 1 for Catalog numbers.

Internal Phase Labeling Connections
A single 14 wire ribbon cable is attached to the display pcb.
When the ABC phase sequence changes to CBA, the single connector is
removed from the normal “ABC” jack and installed in the jack labeled
“CBA”

Lock off all power supplying this equipment before working on it.

Remove the trim and dead front.

Remove the two (2) deadfront supports.

Position the TPS3 unit on the panel base rail so that the TPS3 neutral
connector  is  in  front  of  the  panel  neutral  and  the  phase  tabs  are
behind the interior bus. Slide the unit toward the interior until the
four mounting holes line up with the four holes in the base rail.

Note: If a neutral lug is mounted in the position where the TPS3 neutral
connection is made, it must be moved to one of the three remaining
neutral lug positions prior to TPS3 installation.

Attach the TPS3 unit (item 1) to the base rail using four (4) of the
#10-32  slotted  hex  washer  head  thread  forming  screws  (item  2)
provided as shown in Figure 1.

Fasten unit to the main bus using the 1/4-20 hex head (with captive
washer) assembly machine screws (item 3) provided. Do not tighten
at this time.

Fasten TPS3 neutral to panel neutral using two (2) #10-24 slotted hex
washer head thread forming screws (item 4).

If the four (4) interior leveling screws are not already installed four
(4) additional screws (item 5) are provided for installation to ensure
proper ground path for TPS3 module.

Torque all connections to the values as specified on the installation and
maintenance instruction label affixed to the rear of the dead front.

Replace deadfront supports by installing screws, finger tight. Then
tighten with tool. Replace trim.

Do not perform dielectric or high potential 

tests with the TPS3 unit installed.
