INSTRUCTION MANUAL

This manual describes necessary points of caution when 
you use this product, including installation, connection and 
basic maintenance procedures.

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

 

CONFORMITY WITH EU DIRECTIVES

• This equipment is suitable for use in Pollution Degree 2 

and Installation Category II (transient voltage 2500V for 
MA-200 and 1500V for MA-100) environments.

• Altitude up to 2000 meters.
• The equipment must be mounted inside a panel.
• The equipment must be installed such that appropriate 

clearance and creepage distances are maintained to con-
form to CE requirements.  Failure to observe these re-
quirements may invalidate the CE conformance.

• The actual installation environments such as panel con-

figurations, connected devices, connected wires, may af-
fect the protection level of this unit when it is integrated 
in a panel system.  The user may have to review the CE 
requirements in regard to the whole system and employ 
additional protective measures to ensure the CE conform-
ity.

 

ENVIRONMENT

• Indoor use.
• When heavy dust or metal particles are present in the 

air, install the surge protector inside proper housing with 
sufficient ventilation.

• Do not install the surge protector where it is subjected to 

continuous vibration.  Do not subject the unit to physical 
impact.

• Environmental temperature must be within -5 to +55°C     

(23 to 131°F) with relative humidity within 30 to 90% RH 
in order to ensure adequate life span and operation.

 

DIELECTRIC STRENGTH TEST

• Unplug the body from the base socket before conducting a 

dielectric strength test.  If the test is performed with the 
body, the surge protector will start discharging at the de-
scribed discharge voltage, resulting as insulation failure.  
Be sure to plug the body back into the socket and secure 
it with the clamps after the testing is complete.

 

AND ....

• We recommend that you keep spare surge protectors so 

that you can replace them when necessary.

• Lightning surge can enter not only through power supply 

lines but also through signal lines.  We recommend that 
you also use the surge protectors for signal line for suffi-
cient protection.
