MODEL NO.

Check that the model No. described on the specifications 
matches the operational line voltage and other specifica-
tions as shown in ‘PERFORMANCE’ hereafter.

 

INSTALLATION / INSTRUCTION MANUAL

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

LIMITATION APPLICABLE TO MAT2

The MAT2 will protect electronics equipment from dam-
age caused by induced lightning by absorbing most of 
the surge voltages.
However, MAT2 may not be effective against certain ex-
tremely high voltages exceeding its discharge current 
capacity (20 kA or 40 kA @ 8/20µsec. waveform) caused 
by a direct or almost direct hit by lightning.
The MAT2 must be installed according to this installa-
tion / instruction manual.

APPLICATIONS

• Protects electric devices such as isolation transformers, 

heaters, electromagnetic contactors, motors.

• Protects electric devices of high load current.
• Provides primary protection of a power supply system (L-

L, L-N, and N-PE) in a distribution switchboard.

Low-voltage equipment such as computers, measuring in-
struments, transmission devices, which generally incor-
porates semiconductor circuitries, is especially vulnerable 
against lightning surges.  We recommend to use combina-
tion type surge protectors incorporating serial impedance 
(M-System model examples: MAX, MMA, MAH), or to set 
up a double protection by MAT2s (Refer to ‘PROTECTING 
LOW-VOLTAGE EQUIPMENT’ under  ‘WIRING’ section).
