Caution:
Lightning arrester
will not be shipped with the switch. You should purchase it by yourself if
needed.
If an outdoor AC power cord should be
directly led to the switch, please serially connect the lightning arrester for
AC power (Socket Strip with Lightning Protection) before you plug AC power cord
into the switch, thus to prevent the possible damage to the switch due to
lightning strike. You can use cable clips and screws to fasten the lightning
arrester for AC power on the cabinet, workbench or the wall of equipment room.

Caution:
l
Make sure that the arrester is well grounded
before using the lightning arrester for power.
l
After inserting AC power cord plug of switch
into the socket of lightning arrester, if the green LED is on and the red LED
does not alarm, it means that the lightning arrester of power is running and
the function of lightning protection has taken effect.
l
Pay adequate attention if the red LED is on. You
should correctly locate the problem, whether it is caused because the ground
wire of the arrester is not well grounded or because the live and zero wires
are connected in reverse direction. You may check that in the following way.
When the red LED is on, use a multimeter to examine polarity at the power
socket of the arrester. If it is same to that of the power socket in the
equipment room, it means that arrester is not well grounded. If it is adverse
to that of the power socket in the equipment room, it means that the power
socket of the arrester is set to the reverse polarity. In this case, you should
open the power socket of arrester to correct polarity. After that, if the red
LED still alarms, it means that the arrester is not well grounded yet.
