Note: If your power system is classified as OVC III, please check the building “Distribution Panel”, Ex switch panel has installed Surge Protectors. Ensure that the surge protector is an IEC 61051-2 certified Surge Protector to reduce Mains Transient Voltage to Overvoltage Category II (2500 V pk or lower) before connecting to all AC Inputs. If there is no Surge Protector, do not install Hardwired Kit without one.
