SurgeArrest

Thank you for selecting APC SurgeArrest! It has been designed to provide the highest value of protection against spikes and EMI/RFI noise on electrical lines.

Save these instructions for future reference!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Do not install this device during a lightning storm!

The SurgeArrest is intended for a cool (0-40 °C) and dry indoor environment with relative humidity of 0-95% non- condensing. Do not install the SurgeArrest near heaters or in a hot environment. Do not install the SurgeArrest in an excessively moist or potentially wet environment, for example: near bathtub, sinks, pools etc.

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.

. Each SurgeArrest has a built-in ON/OFF Power Switch to allow the user to activate electricity to connected equipment such as computers, printers, terminals etc.

. The POWER ON indicator is activated when the Power Switch is ON and the unit is receiving electricity.

. 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.

. Seven Outlets are provided for your convenience.

. Telephone Protector/ Network Port Protector (optional) Model Pro7T-J hasa built-in one line (two wire) telephone protector. A six foot telephone extension cord is provided.

Model Net7N-J has a built-in network protector. Network Port Protector (for 10BaseT, 100BaseT, 100BaseTX, 100BaseT4, 100VG-AnyLAN, & Token Ring interface cards & HUBs).

Note: Never connect an ISDN line to a SurgeArrest•.

. 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.

. A 3 prong to 2 prong Plug Adaptor is provided for your convenience. See figure 3.

Installation Instructions

1.Turn OFF Power Switch . The switch lever marked with the “O” should be down.

2.Connect the Power Cord 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.

Figure 3

3.Connect power cords of electrical equipment to be pro- tected into the Outlets on the SurgeArrest.

4.For model Pro7T-J, protect your telephone, fax machine, or modem by connecting the supplied telephone exten- sion cord into the telephone jack on the wall and con- necting the other end into the jack marked “IN” on the

SurgeArrest. Connect your telephone equipment cord on the jack marked “OUT” on the SurgeArrest.

5.For model Net7N-J, protect your local area network card by connecting the LAN cable from the Concentrator HUB to the “IN” jack on the SurgeArrest. Connect one end of the supplied cable to the network card jack and connect the other end to the “OUT” jack on the SurgeArrest.

6.Turn ON the SurgeArrest power switch.

7.Turn ON connected equipment.

Note: Installation example is shown in Figure 4.

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.
