Operation
The Siemens
Residential surge suppressor normally requires
no remedial action. However in the event of a power
anomaly or a malfunction, the operational status may
change and may require action.
The table below outlines the operating conditions of the
TPSA9040 and any correction action if required.
This device features internal circuitry that will disconnect
the surge protective component at the end of its useful life.
Power will maintain to the load, however the load is now
unprotected. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
replacing the device.

indicates a problem with the TVSS which requires
further evaluation. There is no test or silence switch.
De-energizing the TVSS will silence the alarm.
