unit contains installation instructions. Only use the connection cable that came with the unit.

2.6 Network Connection
The rear panel’s Network Transient Protector
allows the unit to be connected to a network. It
uses a single RJ-45 (10BaseT) network card.
Plug the input connector to the “IN” connector
and the output connector to the “OUT” connec-
tor.
Two communication cards can be installed.
The SNMP card allows control and manage-
ment over a network or the internet. The AS/
400 card allows voltage free relay contacts.

tion and availability
