arrester power cable shall be reversed; if the LED is still Red, it is confirmed that the
arrester PE terminal has not been grounded.
Installing the Ethernet Port Arrester
During the switch usage, the Ethernet port arrester shall be connected to the switch to prevent
the switch damage by lightning before the outdoor network cable connects to the switch.
Tools: Cross or straight screwdriver, Multimeter, Diagonal pliers
Installation Steps:
1.
Tear one side of the protection paper for the double-sided adhesive tape and paste the
tape to the framework of the Ethernet port arrester. Tear the other side of the protection
paper for the double-sided adhesive tape and paste the Ethernet port arrester to the
switch framework. The paste location for the Ethernet port arrester shall be as close to the
grounding terminal of the switch.
2.
Based on the distance of the switch grounding terminal, cut the grounding line for the
Ethernet port arrester and firmly tighten the grounding line to the grounding terminal of
the switch.
3.
Use the multimeter to check whether the grounding line for the arrester is in good contact
with the switch grounding terminal and the framework.
4.
According to the description on the Ethernet Port Arrester Hardware Installation Guide,
connect the arrester using the adapter cable(note that the external network cable is
connected to the end of IN, while the adapter cable connected to the switch is connected
to the end of OUT) and observe whether the LED on the borad is normal or not.
5.
Use the nylon button to bundle the power cables.
