Three Styles to Choose From
|
|
|
---|---|---|
Separate Portable Surge Module & Pedestal TesterThe new portable surge protector kits include 2 separate parts, a power pedestal tester and surge module. The power pedestal tester allows you to test the quality of the power before connecting your RV. The surge module can simply be left connected to your cordset so you don't have to worry about leaving it behind. All surge modules are sacrificial items intended to protect the vehicle's electrical system. By having the surge module separate you can still use the pedestal tester and replace the surge module when the indicator light signals the surge protection has been depleted. |
All-in-one Portable Surge & TestingThe tried and true all-in-one surge protectors are portable devices that have both surge protection and pedestal testing in one unit. Simply plug the device into the power pedestal to check the quality of your power and then plug in your cordset. You can continue to monitor the quality of power while your RV is connected and surge protected. |
Hardwired ProtectionThe hardwired surge protectors provide the highest level of electrical and surge protection available. They will be hardwired between your vehicle's AC inlet and the electrical panel to protect all AC devices on board. By hard-wiring the surge protection into the vehicle you never run the risk of leaving your surge protector behind and have the peace of mind knowing your protected every time you plug in. |

The unit works as described, however, the current reading is way over reading amp draw by a factor of double on both phases of power as verified by my own clamp on amp meter. I’ll call them tomorrow regarding this issue. My working on this unit leaves me somewhat concerned about the actual engineering of this unit. Its not hard to determine actual amp draw and the fact thats it’s not even close, is disturbing. I also have questions regarding the stand alone readout. The cable attaches to the bottom of the readout rather then the back, meaning the data cable is always seen after mounting. Why? This also screams of poor engineering or just carelessness. If you are concerned about the appearance of your installation and of those who can’t run the connection from behind the readout, offer both input cable locations so the final finished appearance is preserved.
I celebrate well engineered products and abhor poorly executed ones. This has all the earmarks of a typical offshore made product despite its being engineered here, but, this is just my opinion. I’ll know more after I call progressive. UPDATE 2/24/2020. I called Progressive Industries and talked to Brad in tech support. After telling of my over amp reading. He immediately offered two options. Send the whole unit back for a new one or replace the logic board and coils. Our conversation confirmed their concern for their product and without hesitation offered two solutions. Send the whole unit back or install a new logic board and coils. I opted for a new board and coils. I’m impressed with their customer service. The new board and coils should be here in about a week. He also said that the reading on amps is courtesy and would not affect the performance of the HW50C but also agreed that something is wrong and should be fixed. Thank you Brad and Progressive industries. 2nd update: 3/29/20. I finally received my new logic board and new coils. Some snafu in shipping at progressive. I removed the coils and circuit board and replaced them. The amp reading is better then before but still off some from my clamp on readings but close enough to call it good. That was easy. I also remounted the unit after my first trip out. It does hum some because of the relay and had it hard screwed down to the shelf in the bathroom. It was just too noisy at night. I bought 4 rubber donuts about an inch across and 1/2 inch high and 4 rubber covered washers and screwed it down again. Ah, the sound of silence. You might want to keep that in mind depending on mounting location.
On a positive note, I really appreciate knowing that I'm protected from faulty wiring, power surges, low voltage, and everything else that this thing does. It's also really nice having the the remote display relay the status of the power feeding my fifth wheel.
Overall, this seems like a great product!
