4. Proper use
The built-in overvoltage protector is designed for
mains-related overvoltage caused by switching
processes or distant lightning strikes. Additional
measures must be taken to safeguard against direct
lightning strikes. Coarse protection (requirement
clause) must be provided for in the building’s
electrical system. The primary intended purpose of
the product is to protect high-quality telephone and
computer systems and audio, video and satellite
devices.
5. Connection
All devices must be switched off before devices can
be connected. The overvoltage protector may be con-
nected only between the electrical consumer and an
earthed socket. In the operational state, the indicator
light for the overvoltage protector lights up.
Warning
If the indicator light is not lit after switching on,
the overvoltage protector is defective – it may no
longer be used and must be exchanged for a new
overvoltage protector.
