Correct use

The installed surge arrester is designed for mains-related voltage surges caused by switching operations or distant lightning strikes. Additional measures must be taken to protect against direct lightning strikes. Coarse protection (requirement clause) must be provided in the house installation. The main purpose is to protect high-quality telephone systems/computer systems and audio/video / satellite devices.

Warning:  Please note the maximum surge protection properties on the product’s type plate.

Connection

Warning

• Only operate the product from an approved socket that is connected to the public power supply. The socket must be installed close to the product and must be easily accessible.
• Disconnect the product from the power supply using the On/Off switch – if this is not available, unplug the power cord from the socket.
• If using a multi-socket power strip, make sure that the total power consumption of all connected devices does not exceed the power strip’s maximum throughput rating.
• If you will not be using the product for a prolonged period, disconnect it from mains power.

Before devices are connected, these devices must all be switched on. The surge arrester must only be connected between the consumer and a protective contact socket. In the ready-to-use state, the control light for surge protection lights up.

Warning:  If the control light on the surge arrester does not light up after switch-on, the surge arrester is faulty. It must not be used and must be replaced by a new surge arrester.
