Make sure that the arrester is well grounded before using the lightning arrester for power.

After inserting AC power cord plug of switch into the socket of lightning arrester, if the green LED is
on and the red LED does not alarm, it means that the lightning arrester of power is running and the
function of lightning protection has taken effect.

Pay adequate attention if the red LED is on. You should correctly locate the problem, whether it is
caused because the ground wire of the arrester is not well grounded or because the live and zero
wires are connected in reverse direction. You may check that in the following way. When the red
LED is on, use a multimeter to examine polarity at the power socket of the arrester. If it is same to
that of the power socket in the equipment room, it means that arrester is not well grounded. If it is
adverse to that of the power socket in the equipment room, it means that the power socket of the
arrester is set to the reverse polarity. In this case, you should open the power socket of arrester to
correct polarity. After that, if the red LED still alarms, it means that the arrester is not well grounded
yet.
Installation of Lightning Arrester for Network Port
Lightning arrester for network port is specially designed for the Ethernet port of 10/100/1000M electrical
interface (RJ-45 connector is adopted in this case).
Lightning arrester for network port will not be provided along with the switch, and you should purchase
it by yourself if needed.
If an outdoor network cable should be led to the switch, please serially connect the lightning arrester for
network port before you plug this cable into the interface on the switch, in case of the possibility that the
switch may be damaged due to lightning strike.

Installation procedure
Step 1: Tear the protection paper at one side of the double faced adhesive tape apart from the tape, and
stick the tape on the surface of the arrester. Tear the protection paper at another side apart from the
tape, and stick the arrester onto the chassis of the switch. The arrester should be attached on the
chassis as close to the grounding screw as possible.
