The SurgeProtect Kit includes an HE surge arrester, a SurgeFuse, and a Surge Detector. The surge arrester and SurgeFuse
work together to protect remote monitoring units and devices from lightning strikes and other electrical surges. The
Surge Detector keeps track of surge events and related information, which is then transmitted to Bullhorn Web.
