Torque: 0.3 N·m
Applicable wire size: 0.2 – 2.5 mm

Stripped length: 8 mm

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 following terminals on the 

high resistance range of multimeter and confirm no con-

duction.

    Terminals (4) – (5), (4) – (6), (5) – (6), 
    (4) – (DIN rail), (5) – (DIN rail), (6) – (DIN rail)
  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.

  Polarity does not matter when connecting the multimeter 

and the tester to the above terminals.

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

surge protector.
