Proper Use

The built-in overvoltage protector is designed for mains-related overvoltage caused by switching processes or distant lightning strikes. Additional measures must be taken to safeguard against direct lightning strikes. Coarse protection must be provided for in the building's electrical system. The primary intended purpose of the product is to protect high-quality telephone and computer systems and audio, video and satellite devices.

⚠️ Warning: Please note the maximum overvoltage protection characteristics on the product's type plate.

Connection

⚠️ Warning:

• Only operate the product from a socket that has been approved for the device. The socket must be installed close to the product and must be easily accessible.
• Disconnect the product from the power supply using the On/Off switch – if this is not available, unplug the power cord from the socket.
• If using a multi-socket power strip, make sure that the total power consumption of all connected devices does not exceed the power strip's maximum throughput rating.
• If you will not be using the product for a prolonged period, disconnect it from mains power.

All devices must be switched off before devices can be connected. The overvoltage protector may be connected only between the electrical consumer and an earthed socket. In the operational state, the indicator light for the overvoltage protector lights up.

⚠️ Warning: If the indicator light is not lit after switching on, the overvoltage protector is defective – it may no longer be used and must be exchanged for a new overvoltage protector.
