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 certain
extremely high voltages caused by a direct or almost di-
rect hit by lightning.
M-Rester must be installed according to this installation
/ instruction manual.
GENERAL
■
FUNCTION & FEATURES
• Designed for AC and specifically for DC power supplies up
to 1 amp.
• Beneficial for protecting instruments from counter elec
-
tromotive force by inductors and of course normal light-
ning surges entering from power supply lines.
• 1A fuse incorporated in element circuit.

POINTS OF CAUTION
■
ENVIRONMENT
• When heavy dust or metal particles are present in the air,
install the surge protector inside proper housing with suf-
ficient 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 -20 to +80°C
(-4 to 176°F) with relative humidity within 30 to 90% RH
in order to ensure adequate life span and operation.
■
DIELECTRIC STRENGTH TEST
• Loosen the screw located at the left-center of the element
and remove the element module from the base before
conducting a dielectric strength testing. Otherwise the
element will start discharging at a voltage exceeding the
max. continuous operating voltage (Uc), which can cause
insulation failure of the module.
Be sure to return the element and fasten securely 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 surge protectors for power line for suf-
ficient protection.
