Gigabit Unmanaged Switch

Lightening Protection

Extremely high voltage currents can be produced instantly when lightning occurs and the air in the electric discharge path can be instantly heated up to 20,000. As this instant current is strong enough to damage electronic devices, more effective lightning protection measures should be taken.

Ensure the rack and device are well earthed.

Make sure the power socket has a good contact with the ground. Keep a reasonable cabling system and avoid induced lightning. Use the signal SPD (Surge Protective Device\ when wiring outdoor.

Note: For detailed lightning protection measures, please refer to Chapter 3 Lightning Protection.

Installation Site

S

When installing the device on a rack or a flat workbench, please note the following items:

The rack or workbench is flat and stable, and sturdy enough to support the weight of 5.5kg at least.

The rack or workbench has a good ventilation system. The equipment room is well ventilated.

The rack is well grounded. Keep the power socket less than 1.5 meters away from the device.
