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 250 VAC, 50/60 Hz, and 10 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.
➀The Power Cord is designed for a three wire grounded system.
➁Each SurgeArrest has a

indicator (green) is illuminated 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.
Part Number: 990-0070 Rev. 2 5/99
➃The Building Wiring Fault indicator (red) is lit when there is either no ground circuit, a reversed polarity in the building wiring, or the neutral circuit is overloaded. If it lights, consult a qualified electrician to examine the building wiring.
Note: When the SurgeArrest is fully loaded, this indicator may flicker. This is normal and may not be indicative of a fault.
➄Five Safety Outlets are provided for your convenience. These outlets accept a number of different plugs, including those in use in Continental Europe (CEE7/7 and CEE7/16), Australia (AS3112), the United Kingdom (BSI1363), Japan (JIS 8303), and China (GB2099.1). Note: The rated current of each plug should be 10A or less.

& HUBs).
Note: Never connect an ISDN line to a SurgeArrest.
➆Each SurgeArrest is equipped with a 10 Amp circuit breaker to protect against electrical power overload. Button will pop up in the event of an overload. If this happens, unplug at least one piece of equipment, and reset button.

Installation Instructions
1.Turn OFF Power Switch ➁. The switch lever marked with the “O” should be down.
2.Connect the Power Cord ➀ to a 250VAC receptacle. It is highly recommended that a grounded receptacle be used. Please note that ungrounded surge protectors do not provide effective surge protection between line and ground. Check local electrical laws governing grounding practices.
3.Connect power cords of electrical equipment to be protected into the Outlets on the SurgeArrest.
4.For model
Connect your telephone equipment cord to the jack marked “OUT” on the SurgeArrest.
5.For model
6.Turn ON the SurgeArrest power switch.
7.Turn ON connected equipment.
Note: Installation example is shown in Figure 3.

Mounting the SurgeArrest on a wall
The SurgeArrest has two mounting holes located on the bottom 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 between the wall and the bottom flange of the screw or nail.
