4. 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.
5. 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 two
pilot lights light up.
Warning
• If the pilot light on the surge arrester (red LED)
does not light up after being switched on, the
overvoltage protection function has tripped
and will not be available in future. Connected
devices are no longer protected.
6. Care and maintenance
Note
Disconnect the device from the mains before
cleaning and during prolonged periods of
non-use.
• Only clean this product with a slightly damp,
lint-free cloth and do not use aggressive cleaning
