GATEKEEPER PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR PANEL SURGE PROTECTION - 1P1M
(P-Phase, M-mode)
How does the Gatekeeper Solar Surge Diverter work?
Once a surge or spike is detected which exceeds the clamping voltage, the MOV reacts conducting the excess voltage to ground. The MOV segment will continue to do this until it has reached its life expectancy and expires. The green indicator tab on the front of the SPD will remain green until the MOV expires at which time the indication tab will change to RED. If this should occur we recommend you consider changing the SPD ASAP as the SPD has expired and protection no longer exists. The expiration of the MOV component will also activate the alarm circuit. As these units are modular, all you need to replace is the module.
Application
The Gatekeeper solar surge diverter is to be installed in front of the inverter (line side) and at the output of the solar panels. This protects both the inverter and the panels.

Product Description
The GATEKEEPER GKSDS surge diverter is a high quality low cost DIN compliant diverter of a modular design. Therefore when the device expires, you simply replace the module to reinstate the diverters full capacity. The unit has been designed for mounting at the PV panel and at the rectifier in the battery room or at the main switchboard/distribution board Cat C locations.
As with all LDU diverters, the GKSDS surge diverter range has been designed to be fail-safe incorporating internal over voltage and thermal fusing.

Alarm
The GKSDL is supplied with external alarms consisting of a voltage free relay to remotely monitor the diverter status. The alarm terminal capacity is 1.5mm2 and is configured as follows:
NC = Normally Closed Closed when power is off or under fault conditions
NO = Normally Open Open when power is off or under fault conditions
C = Common

Installation
The GKSDS should be installed at the PV (Solar) panels and at the input side of the rectifier in line with an appropriately sized circuit breaker. If the battery room is more than 20 meters from the rectifier then install a GKSDS1 on an output of the rectifier in line with an appropriately sized circuit breaker.
