Appendix A Lightning Protection of the Switch
Installation of Lightning Arrester for AC Power (Socket Strip with Lightning Protection)
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.

|
(1) Working LED (green) |
On means the circuit is working normally; off means the circuit is damaged. |
|
(2) Grounding/pole detection LED (red) |
On indicates a wrong wire connection (the wire is not grounded or the live line and null line are reversely connected), and you need to check the power supply line. |
|
(3) Power switch |
|
|
(4) IEC standard socket |
It is used to connect to the power supply in the equipment room through a power cord. |
|
(5) Overload automatic protector |
It can reset automatically. |
|
(6) Multifunctional socket |
It is used to connect the power module of the device. |
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.
