■MODEL NO.

Conﬁrm Model No. marking on the product to be exactly

what you ordered.

■INSTRUCTION MANUAL

This manual describes necessary points of caution when

you use this product, including installation, connection and

basic maintenance procedures.

When using this product in potentially explosive atmos-

phere or hazardous (classiﬁed) location, you have to follow

the safety procedure to install it. Please refer to “SAFE IN-

STALLATION MANUAL” for each type of certiﬁcation.

LIMITATION APPLICABLE TO M-RESTER

The M-RESTER will protect electronics equipment from

damage caused by lightning by absorbing most of the

surge voltages.

However, M-RESTER may not be effective against cer-

tain extremely high voltages caused by a direct or almost

direct hit by lightning.

M-RESTER must be installed according to this installa-

tion / instruction manual.

POINTS OF CAUTION

■ENVIRONMENT

•Indoor use.

•When heavy dust or metal particles are present in the

air, install the unit inside proper housing with sufﬁcient

ventilation.

•Do not install the unit where it is subjected to continuous

vibration. Do not subject the unit to physical impact.

•Environmental temperature must be within -25 to +85°C

(-13 to +185°F) with relative humidity within 30 to 90%

RH in order to ensure adequate life span and operation.

•This unit needs a DIN rail as earth grounding bar. Ox-

ide coating of an aluminium rail may lower the electric

conductivity between this module and the ground. Use a

steel or copper rail.

■DIELECTRIC STRENGTH TESTING

•The surge protector starts discharging when 160V or

greater voltage (with ﬂoating shield type) or several volts

(with grounding shield type) is applied between lines and

earth. Remove the grounding wire before conducting a

test. Be sure to return the wire after the test.

■AND ....

•We recommend that you keep spare surge protectors so

that you can replace them when necessary.

•Lightning surge can enter not only through signal lines

but also through power supply lines. We recommend that

you also use the Lightning Surge Protector for Power

Lines for adequate protection.

INSTALLATION

Mount the unit on a DIN rail. Once installed, do not move

it to another DIN rail.

■MOUNTING THE UNIT ON A DIN RAIL

A)Hang the upper hook of the DIN rail mounting adaptor at

the rear side of unit, on the DIN rail.

B)Push in the lower in keeping pressing the unit to the DIN

rail.

C)DIN rails generally have slight individual variability in

size. If you ﬁnd it difﬁcult to push in the lower part, go

back to (A) and hang the upper part more deeply onto the

rail and try (B) again.

■REMOVING THE UNIT

A)Push down the spring loader utilizing a minus screwdriv-

er.

B)Conﬁrm that it is pulled enough down and pull out the

lower part of the unit.

C)Detach the upper part from the DIN rail.

TERMINAL CONNECTION

Connect the unit as in the diagram below.

Be sure to ground the DIN rail on which the unit is mounted and cross-wire between the rail and FG terminal of the protected

device as shown in Figure 1 in order to equalize the earth potential.

When the unit is connected with a device which has no FG terminal, ground the surge protector only.

MAINTENANCE

Check surge protectors periodically. Many cases of light-

ning are ignored, and even lightning at a far distance often

causes inductive surges.

We recommend that you check your surge protector about

twice a year, before and after the rainy season. Check

whenever you experience a strong lightning occurrence.

Checking procedure is explained in the following:

■CHECKING

WIRING

1) Make sure that wiring is done as instructed in the con-

nection diagram.

2) Make sure that the DIN rail is connected to the metal

enclosure of protected device.

3) Make sure that the surge protector is securely attached

to the DIN rail, and that the rail is grounded to earth.

DISCHARGE ELEMENT

1) Remove all wiring connected to the surge protector when

you test the module.

2) Check resistance across the terminals indicated in Table

2 on the high resistance range of multimeter and conﬁrm

no conduction. The tester should show 10 MΩ or greater.

3) Conﬁrm conduction across the same terminals with a 500

V DC 1000 MΩ insulation tester. The tester should show

20 MΩ or less.

4) If any of the above tests shows negative, replace the

surge protector.
