SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not install this device during a lightning storm!
The SurgeArrest is intended for a cool
The SurgeArrest is intended to supply electric power to computers, peripheral, and electronic equipment. The SurgeArrest is rated for 100 VAC, 50/60 Hz, and 15 Amps maximum.
For best protection against spikes induced by lightning storms, it is hightly recommended that the SurgeArrest surge suppressor be grounded to earth.

Product Features
Please refer to Figure 1 for the following information and instructions.
➀✎ The Power Cord is designed for a three wire system (two wires carry power and the third is connected to earth). A two to three wire Adapter Plug is provided for two wire re- ceptacles.
➁. Each SurgeArrest has a
➂. The POWER ON indicator is activated when the Power Switch is ON and the unit is receiving electricity.
➃. The Protection Working indicator is activated as long as the thermal fuse is intact. If this indicator is extinguished, the product disconnects from the utility line. In this case, return this unit to APC for repair or replacement.
➄. Seven Outlets are provided for your convenience.
➅. Telephone Protector/ Network Port Protector (optional) Model
Model
Note: Never connect an ISDN line to a SurgeArrest•.
➆. Each SurgeArrest is equipped with a 15 Amp circuit breaker to protect against electrical power overload. Button will pop up in the event of an overload. If this happens, un- plug at least one piece of equipment, and reset button.
➇. A 3 prong to 2 prong Plug Adaptor is provided for your convenience. See figure 3.

Installation Instructions
1.Turn OFF Power Switch ➁. The switch lever marked with the “O” should be down.
2.Connect the Power Cord ➀ into a 100VAC receptacle. It is highly recommended that a grounded receptacle be used. If your receptacle is ungrounded (accepts only plugs with two blades), attach the 3 to 2 Plug Adapter that is supplied with the unit. The Adapter Plug has a green wire that is used to connect to earth ground where permitted or accessible. Please note that ungrounded surge protectors do not provide effective surge protec- tion between line to ground. Check local electrical laws governing grounding practices. See Figure 3 below.

Mounting the SurgeArrest on a wall
The SurgeArrest has two mounting holes located on the bot- tom of the unit. These holes were designed to hook on to screw heads or nail heads. The spacing between the center of the screw holes is 11.43 cm. For best results, when fastening screws or nails into a wall, leave about 3.5 mm spacing be- tween the wall and the bottom flange of the screw or nail.
