6. Tiaki

The SGSP 40 DC Protector requires minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks are recommended to ensure optimal performance and safety.

• Tirotiro Ataata: Periodically inspect the device for any signs of physical damage, discoloration, or loose connections.
• Taki Tūnga: Regularly observe the visible status windows. If any window turns red, the corresponding module has activated and needs replacement.
• Te horoi: If necessary, gently clean the exterior of the device with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Taki Ngaio: It is advisable to have a qualified electrician inspect your photovoltaic system, including the surge protector, annually.

7. Te Raru

The SGSP 40 DC Protector is designed for reliable operation. Most issues relate to the status indicator.

Issue: Status Window is Red

Take: The protector has successfully diverted a surge event, indicating that it has performed its function and is now at the end of its operational life for that module.

Rongoā:

1. Immediately disconnect power to the photovoltaic system.
2. Carefully remove the affected module(s) from the main unit.
3. Replace the module(s) with new, identical SGSP 40 replacement modules.
4. Ensure the new modules are securely installed and all connections are tight.
5. Re-energize the system and verify that the new module's status window is green.

If you experience any other issues or are unsure about the device's status, contact a qualified electrician or the manufacturer's support.
