Description
120V Type 5 Fixture-Level Surge Protection for LED Luminaires
The LED-MOV1 is a Type 5 fixture-level surge protection device engineered to protect LED fixtures and drivers from transient voltage spikes. Rated for 4.0kV transient voltage protection, this compact SPD is designed for installation at or near the luminaire, where sensitive LED electronics are most vulnerable. Commonly specified for outdoor and exposed LED lighting applications, the LED-MOV1 provides localized surge suppression caused by lightning, utility switching, and power disturbances—helping reduce premature LED driver failure without replacing the fixture.

Wiring Instructions
The LED-MOV-1 is wired in parrellel with the EOS board. Before connections are made- Be sure all power is off on to where the fixture is to be installed.
The normal sequence of wire hook up is:
1) The ground wire from the outlet box , the green ground wire from the fixture, and the yellow-green wire from the LED-MOV-1 are tied together with a single wire nut.
2) The 120VAC power line black wire from the outlet box, the black wire from the LED fixture, and the black wire from the LED-MOV-1 are tied together in a single wire nut.
3) The Common/neutral white wire from the outlet box, and the white wire from the LED fixture and the white wire from the LED-MOV-1 are tied together in a single wire nut.
