1. Úvod
The Intermatic AG3000 is a 120/240 VAC Universal HVAC Surge Protective Device (SPD) designed to safeguard HVAC equipment and other home appliances from damaging power surges. This device offers comprehensive protection across three modes (L-G, L-L, L-N) and utilizes advanced Thermally Protected Metal Oxide Varistor (TPMOV) technology to ensure reliable surge suppression. Its robust, watertight, and UV-resistant Type 4X plastic enclosure makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.
This manual provides essential information for the safe and correct installation, operation, and maintenance of your AG3000 device.
2. Bezpečnostní informace
VAROVÁNÍ: Instalace tohoto zařízení vyžaduje práci s vysokým objememtage electricity. Improper installation can result in serious injury, death, or damage to property. It is strongly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified electrician or licensed HVAC technician.
- Always disconnect power at the main service panel before installing or servicing the AG3000.
- Ověřte, že je napájení vypnuto pomocí voltage tester before proceeding with any work.
- Dodržujte všechny místní a národní elektrické předpisy.
- Ujistěte se, že všechny spoje jsou bezpečné a řádně izolované.
- The AG3000 contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to open or repair the unit.
3. Instalace
The AG3000 is designed for easy integration into existing HVAC electrical systems. It should be installed at the disconnect box for the HVAC unit or other protected equipment.
This image shows the Intermatic AG3000 Surge Protective Device mounted on the side of an outdoor electrical disconnect box. The disconnect box is situated on a residential exterior wall, adjacent to a large HVAC condenser unit. The device's green LED indicator is visible, signifying operational status. This illustrates a typical installation scenario for the AG3000.
Kroky instalace:
- Odpojení napájení: Turn off the main power supply to the HVAC unit at the circuit breaker panel. Verify power is off using a voltage metr.
- Montáž: Mount the AG3000 to the side of the HVAC disconnect box using a standard knockout. The device can be installed in any position. Ensure the rubber gasket is used with the lock nut to maintain the watertight seal.
- Zapojení: The AG3000 comes with 10 AWG tinned copper wires. Connect these wires to the appropriate terminals within the disconnect box.
- Connect the two hot wires from the AG3000 to the two hot legs (L1 and L2) of the HVAC unit's power supply.
- Connect the ground wire from the AG3000 to the equipment ground bar in the disconnect box.
Doporučený postup: Avoid 'double tapping' (two wires under one screw) unless the terminal is specifically rated for it. Use the 'pigtail method' by connecting the AG3000 wires to short lengths of appropriately sized wire, which are then connected to the main terminals. Use a torque screwdriver to ensure all terminal screws are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. If white wires are used as hot wires, mark them clearly with black tape or heat shrink tubing to indicate their function.
- Zabezpečená připojení: Ujistěte se, že všechny kabelové spoje jsou těsné a bezpečné.
- Obnovit napájení: Once installation is complete and verified, restore power to the HVAC unit at the main circuit breaker panel.
4. Provoz
The Intermatic AG3000 operates automatically to protect your equipment from power surges. Its operational status is indicated by a green LED light on the device.
This image displays a close-up of the Intermatic AG3000 Surge Protective Device, highlighting its label. The label details the model number AG3000, ANSI/UL 1449 4th Edition compliance, Type 4X enclosure, and the function of the green LED indicator: 'ON: UNIT OPERATING CORRECTLY', 'OFF: PROTECTION DIMINISHED, REPLACE UNIT'. It also lists electrical specifications such as 120/240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, In: 20 kA, SCCR: 100 kA, MCOV, and VPR values.
Stav LED indikátoru:
- Zelená LED svítí: The unit is operating correctly and providing surge protection.
- Zelená LED nesvítí: The protection has diminished, and the unit needs to be replaced.
5. Údržba
The Intermatic AG3000 is a maintenance-free device. Regular inspection of the green LED indicator is the only required maintenance.
- Periodically check the green LED indicator on the device.
- If the green LED is off, the device has absorbed a significant surge or has reached the end of its protective life. The unit must be replaced to ensure continued protection for your equipment.
6. Řešení problémů
The primary troubleshooting for the AG3000 involves observing the LED indicator.
| Příznak | Možná příčina | Řešení |
|---|---|---|
| Zelená LED nesvítí | The AG3000 has absorbed a surge event or has reached its end of life. | Replace the AG3000 unit. The device is designed to sacrifice itself to protect connected equipment. |
| Green LED is OFF and HVAC equipment is not functioning | The AG3000 has failed, and the HVAC equipment may have also been damaged by a surge. | Replace the AG3000. Inspect HVAC equipment for damage. Contact a qualified technician for HVAC repair if necessary. Refer to warranty information. |
| Green LED is OFF immediately after installation | No power to the device or incorrect wiring. | Verify power is restored to the disconnect box. Recheck wiring connections for correctness and security. Ensure the circuit breaker is ON. |
