UNIT DESCRIPTION

Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor (TVSS) – Straight Blade duplex

receptacles with EMI/RFI noise suppression.

Application

Protects microprocessor based as well as other sensitive electronic equipment

from transient over voltages. These high energy, high voltage transient surges

are caused by electrical disturbances conducted through external utility

powerlines and internal branch wiring. External disturbances can be caused by

lightning, or utilities, such as during power factor correction switching. Internal

disturbances are caused by other equipment powered on the same or adjacent

branch wiring, such as vacuum cleaners or printers. These disturbances can

result in catastrophic failures or subtle degradation, eventually leading to

equipment malfunction in the form of information errors, erratic operation, or

permanent damage.

Miro’s receptacle type transient voltage surge suppressors, when installed at

branch wiring receptacle locations, will help limit transient voltage disturbances

to a level tolerable to the connected equipment. Supplementary protection is

also recommended in the form of service panel devices and can be provided by

Pass & Seymour. Please contact Pass & Seymour at 800-223-4185 for

additional information.

Definitions and Technical Data

Maximum Surge Capability — the maximum surge current the device can

withstand non-repetitively without a change in measured limiting (clamping)

voltage of more than plus or minus 10%. This number is also a reflection of

the number of lower current pulses the device can withstand without a

change in measured limiting voltage.

Energy Rating — the total amount of energy handling ability the protection

circuitry contains.

Current Ratings — the amount of feed-through current the receptacle contacts

are capable of carrying.

Indicator Light — Light Emitting Diode. Illuminates when power is applied to the

receptacle and protection circuits are functioning in each of the three modes

(line to neutral, line to ground, neutral to ground).

EMI/RFI — Electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. This is the ability

of the receptacle to attenuate conducted electrical noise.

TYPICAL INSTALLATION

1. All devices should be installed by a licensed electrician. All wiring must

comply with the National Electrical Code and any applicable local codes.

2. Failure to wire per these instructions may cause personal injury or

equipment/device damage.

3. Check all installations for proper grounding and polarization.

4. This device will not protect against direct lightning strikes.

Instructions

1. Side or back wire #10 – #14 AWG solid or stranded wire.

2. 2

” deep box minimum requirement.

3. Requires a Miro™ cover plate, sold separately. See instructions provided

with cover plate for mounting procedure.

Notes

1. When the TVSS is installed and functioning, the indicator light will illuminate.

2. When protection is lost in any one of the three modes protected due to

surges exceeding device capacity, the LED will go off.

The receptacle will continue to provide unprotected power.
