How to choose a suitable Uc(MCOV) value

Note: Uc >1.15Un
The relationship between two parameters Uc and Up of a surge protective device is proportional.
If Uc is small, the value of Up is also small; surge protective devices with smaller Up can provide better surge protection.
Whether to choose smaller Uc depends on the voltage stability of the grid.
If you choose surge protective devices with smaller Uc for the grid with instable voltage, the surge protective devices will frequently work while the grid voltage fluctuates, resulting in shortening surge protective device's product life.
If you choose larger Uc, and the value of Up is accordingly large, the surge protective efficiency will not be so fine.
If you are unsure of the voltage stability of the grid,
it is suggested to calculate MCOV(Uc) using the following formula: √ 2  Un < Uc < √ 3 Un

Detector Status Description

Power (green): Power indicator, when the power is turned on, the indicator light is on
Data (orange): Data sending indicator, when there is data sending, the indicator flashes
Alarm (red): The alarm indicator light, or when the number of surges increases, keeps on, press the Reset button to reset the light off; when the surge protector failure is detected, it keeps on

LCD Display Description

LCD display 0-9 numbers and A-F letters, check the following table:

Modbus Mode: RS485 ID, Surge Counts

I. Turn on the power, the LCD screen first displays the RS485 address (factory value 001), and then displays the number of surges, the screen keeps displaying this value


II. Continuing pressing RESET to enter SETTING status. When the Alarm light flashes frequently, continue pressing it, the indicator light loops from bottom to top.

Setting Steps

1. When ALARM indicator flashes frequently, short press RESET, switch to NO/NC, default: 0 (NO: normal, NC: fault)


2. When Modbus indicator flashes frequently, short press RESET to set RS485 ID address (RS485 ID: 1-247)


3. When POWER indicator flashes frequently. Short press RESET to save data and return to the Standby mode. (Data can also be saved automatically after 30 seconds and return to Standby mode without pressing RESET in any setting status)

Cloud Service Mode: Device ID, Surge Counts

When the power is turned on, the LCD screen displays in sequence: the first screen displays 2 digits or letters, the second screen displays 3 digits or letters, and the third bottle displays 3 digits or letters, and the device number consisting of 8 numbers or letters in total ( Take the device number 2010CAFE as an example: the first screen displays 20, the second screen displays 10C, and the third screen displays AFE)
After the three screens are displayed, the last display is the number of surges, and the screen keeps displaying this value.
(Each product has a unique Device ID, which is fixed in the product when it leaves the factory. This device number is only used for Cloud service functions)

FAQ & Help (1/2)

1. What should I do if I can't find the paper manual in the product packaging?
Watchful Eye products is committed to going green with paperless data sheets. On the left side of each product enclosure is an engraved link with URL for downloading paperless data sheet and QR code of the website. If you need the paper data sheet, you can open the link and print the data sheet by yourself.


2. Some questions about Product Serial Number
a. Each product has a unique product serial number, and the barcode is laser engraved on the side of the product when it leaves the factory, for example: S.N.: USR127325-7AG002
b. This serial number is a certificate for tracking product warranty and service
c. In the Cloud Service function, the serial number is the server login password initialized at the factory, and the password can be changed after login.

3. Why does the surge count monitoring module need a separate USB power supply?
According to the requirements of the UL test standard, the power supply of the surge protector module needs to be connected to an independent group to ensure the safety and reliability of the system.

FAQ & Help (2/2)

4. I have question for Surge Counter how the minimum of Input Current for testing?
Surge count test of minimum input current:
It is tested in the factory with a 1.2/50μs + 8/20μs combination wave generator
If it is only to test the digital display of the surge count, a 10μF 400V capacitor can be used, refer to the following steps
Note: This method cannot simulate 8/20μs surge waveform.


Step 1: Turn on the power switch to charge the capacitor for 1 second
Step 2: Turn on the power switch to make the capacitor short-circuit discharge
