TERMINAL CONNECTION
Connect the unit as in the diagram below.
Be sure to cross-wire between the Ground terminal (G) and that of the protected equipment. When the surge protector is con-
nected with a device which has no ground terminal such like M-System’s (See figure below), ground the M-RESTER Ground
terminal (G) only.

CROSSOVER WIRE
GROUNDING
(100 ohms or less)
A crossover wire between M-RESTER ground and the ground or
metallic housing of the equipment is required for protection.
If the protected equipment has no ground terminal, ground the
M-RESTER only.
When the M-RESTER is mounted with DIN Rail Mounting Adapter,
connect the grounding wire to the mounting screw of the M-RESTER.

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 Ground terminal (G) is connected to
the metallic housing of protected equipment.
3) Make sure that the Ground terminal (G) is grounded to
earth.
DISCHARGE FUNCTION
The M-RESTER Tester is available for checking the ele-
ment module of this surge protector.
If you do not have one, approximate checking can be con-
ducted as following.
1) Remove all wiring connected to the surge protector when
you test the element module.
2) Check resistance across the following terminals on the
high resistance range of multimeter and confirm no con-
duction (The meter shows ≥ 10 MΩ). When measuring
across (S+) – (S–), connect the multimeter so that positive
voltage is applied to (S+) terminal.
Terminals (S+) – (S–), (S+) – (G), (S–) – (G)
3) Check that discharging occurs across the same terminals
with a 500V DC 1000 MΩ insulation tester (The tester
shows ≤ 20 MΩ).
If any of the above tests shows negative, replace the protec-
tor.
