FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The PSFi is a 3-stage protection surge protector utilising high kA primary and secondary MOV protection in
conjunction with an L/C filter. In addition, the PSFi also provides filtering of line harmonics and high-
frequency noise with a cut-off frequency of ~10kHz and a nominal attenuation of 40dB.
The PSFi series is designed to provide secondary protection against power surges caused by external
sources such as lightning strikes and electrical switching as well as providing a measure of protection from
surge events generated on the secondary side of the filter. The PSFi has been designed in accordance
with AS3100, AS1768, IEC61643-11, IEC61000-6-1, 2, 3, 4 and other standards and codes as applicable.

OPERATION
1. Find a suitable location for the PSFi. The PSFi requires free airflow for cooling. Do not stack items
on top of the PSFi.
2. Connect load equipment to PSFi filter using appropriate leads.
3. Connect to a suitable power outlet. As the unit has no power switch, it is important that the power
outlet’s switch be easily accessible.
4. Apply power. “Power’ indicator should light. If not, check connections or test power outlet with a
known ‘good’ device.

Two indicator lights are fitted to the unit for mains power and
protection failure indication:
Normal operation is indicated with the blue ‘Power On’ LED
being lit.
In the event of MOV failure, the 'Fault' LED will light to inform
the operator that the unit requires replacement.
IMPORTANT: If the ‘Fault’ light illuminates during operation, or
the unit appears to malfunction in any way, return the unit for
service or replacement.
