■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.
CAUTION (DISCHARGE CAPACITY)
The discharge capacity
of this unit has been in-
creased to 5000 Amps.
However, using an older
style base socket with
any upgraded head ele-
ment could decrease the
overall effectiveness of
the unit.
The upgraded version
element and socket are
distinguished by blue labels affixed to them. If you are re-
placing the head element only, be sure to check the label
color of the base socket that is already installed.

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.
• Continuous operating voltage must be less than 75V.
■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 signal lines
but also through power supply lines. We recommend that
you also use the surge protectors for power line for suf-
ficient protection.

■DIN RAIL MOUNTING (Only for /A33)
1. MOUNTING ONTO THE ADAPTOR
Before DIN rail mounting, secure the mounting bracket of
MDP to the mounting adaptor with a screw provided with
this product. In this step, secure at one point.

2. DIN RAIL MOUNTING
Set the base socket so that its mounting slider is at the bot-
tom. Position the upper hook at the rear side of base socket
on the DIN rail and push in the lower. When removing the
socket, push down the mounting slider utilizing a minus
screwdriver and pull.

TERMINAL CONNECTION
Connect the unit as in the diagram below.
Be sure to cross-wire between the Ground terminal (G) and that of the protected equipment. When the surge protector is con-
nected with a device which has no ground terminal such like M-System’s (See figure below), ground the M-RESTER Ground
terminal (G) only.

CROSSOVER WIRE
GROUNDING
(100 ohms or less)
A crossover wire between M-RESTER ground and the ground or
metallic housing of the equipment is required for protection.
If the protected equipment has no ground terminal, ground the
M-RESTER only.
When the M-RESTER is mounted with DIN Rail Mounting Adapter,
connect the grounding wire to the mounting screw of the M-RESTER.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
■SCREW TERMINAL
Torque: 0.8 N·m
MAINTENANCE
Check surge protectors periodically. Many cases of light-
ning are ignored, and even lightning at a far distance often
causes inductive surges.
We recommend that you check your surge protector about
twice a year, before and after the rainy season. Check
whenever you experience a strong lightning occurrence.
Checking procedure is explained in the following:
■CHECKING
WIRING
1) Make sure that wiring is done as instructed in the con-
nection diagram.
2) Make sure that the Ground terminal (G) is connected to
the metallic housing of protected equipment.
3) Make sure that the Ground terminal (G) is grounded to
earth.
DISCHARGE FUNCTION
The M-RESTER Tester is available for checking the ele-
ment module of this surge protector.
If you do not have one, approximate checking can be con-
ducted as following.
1) Remove all wiring connected to the surge protector when
you test the element module.
2) Check resistance across the following terminals on the
high resistance range of multimeter and confirm no con-
duction (The meter shows ≥ 10 MΩ). When measuring
across (S+) – (S–), connect the multimeter so that positive
voltage is applied to (S+) terminal.
Terminals (S+) – (S–), (S+) – (G), (S–) – (G)
3) Check that discharging occurs across the same terminals
with a 500V DC 1000 MΩ insulation tester (The tester
shows ≤ 20 MΩ).
If any of the above tests shows negative, replace the protec-
tor.
