INSTRUCTION MANUAL

This manual describes necessary points of caution when 
you use this product, including installation, connection and 
basic maintenance procedures.

LIMITATION APPLICABLE TO M-RESTER

The M-RESTER will protect electronics equipment from 
damage caused by lightning by absorbing most of the 
surge voltages.
However, M-RESTER may not be effective against cer-
tain extremely high voltages caused by a direct or almost 
direct hit by lightning.
M-RESTER must be installed according to this installa-
tion / instruction manual.

GENERAL

 

FUNCTION & FEATURES

• Designed specifically for 12V/24V DC power supplies of 

small capacity

• Absorbs surges only without affecting instrumentation 

signal

• Monitor LED

POINTS OF CAUTION

 

CONFORMITY WITH EU DIRECTIVES

• The actual installation environments such as panel con-

figurations, connected devices, connected wires, may af-
fect the protection level of this unit when it is integrated 
in a panel system.  The user may have to review the CE 
requirements in regard to the whole system and employ 
additional protective measures to ensure the CE conform-
ity.

 

ENVIRONMENT

• When heavy dust or metal particles are present in the 

air, install the surge protector inside proper housing with 
sufficient ventilation.

• Do not install the surge protector where it is subjected to 

continuous vibration.  Do not subject the unit to physical 
impact.

• Environmental temperature must be within -5 to +55°C     

(23 to 131°F) with relative humidity within 30 to 90% RH 
in order to ensure adequate life span and operation.

 

DIELECTRIC STRENGTH TEST

• Loosen the screw located at the left-center of the element 

and remove the element module from the base before 
conducting a dielectric strength testing.  Otherwise the 
element will start discharging at a voltage exceeding the 
max. continuous operating voltage (Uc), which can cause 
insulation failure of the module.

   Be sure to return the element and fasten securely after 

the test.

 

AND ....

• We recommend that you keep spare surge protectors so 

that you can replace them when necessary.

• Lightning surge can enter not only through power supply 

lines but also through signal lines.  We recommend that 
you also use the surge protectors for signal line for suffi-
cient protection.
