CAUTIONARY NOTES FOR SAFE USE OF
THE PRODUCT
This User’s Manual should be carefully read before installing
and operating the product. The following symbol is used on the
product and in this manual to ensure safe usage.
This symbol is displayed on the product when it is
necessary to refer to the User's Manual for information
on personal and instrument safety. This symbol is
displayed in the User's Manual to indicate precautions
to avoid danger to the operator, such as an electric
shock.
The following symbols are used only in this manual.
Draws attention to essential information for
understanding the operations and/or functions of the
product.
CAUTION
The arrester may deteriorate or break if it receives
surges. Arresters that have deteriorated below a
specific level or are broken, may fail to meet their
protection performance level and must therefore be
replaced. When replacing such arresters, replace both
the main unit and the terminal block. It should be noted
that the arrester may fail to safeguard the equipment
under protection if it receives any surges exceeding its
tolerance limit, such as direct lightning strokes.

1.4 Wiring
NOTE
Use of arresters ignoring the specifications may cause
electric shock, overheating or damage.
1. Input signal value applied to the arrester should
meet the required specifications.
2. The external wiring to the terminals and wiring to
ground are as specifications.
Flexible twisted wire and durable round crimp-on terminal (JIS C
2805) are recommended to use.
(1) Signal cable
Nominal cross-sectional area of conductor: 0.5 to 0.75 mm2.
Example of suitable cable: Vinyl code (VJF) (JIS C 3306) for
electronic instrument.
(2) Grounding cables
Nominal cross-sectional area of conductor: 2.0 mm2or more
for grounding.
Example of suitable cable: 600V vinyl insulated cable (IV)
(JIS C 3307), Vinyl insulated cable
(KIV) (JIS C 3316) for electronic
instrument
1.5 Grounding
Interconnect the ground terminals of the arrester and the
instrument to be protected. Touch ground from the arreter side
as shown in the figure below. Install the arrester and instrument
as close as possible, and make the cable as short as possible.
The wires for interconnect grounding should have lower effective
resistance than ground resistance.
• Make sure to earth ground the ground terminal through
minimum resistance.
• The grounding method must comply with the grounding
system defined by rules and standards of the country or the
region.
It also should meet the grounding requirements of the
instrument to be protected.
NOTE
Wire tightening torque for arrester should not be 1.2
N•m or more.

Arrester Instrument Arrester Instrument
Apply the grounding system which is
defined by the rules and standards
of the country or the region.
Short bar
(for grounding terminal connection)
Grounding for serial installation of
arresters is to connect grounding
terminals of neighboring arresters to
each other and touch ground at one
point from last arrester according.
Make sure to earth ground the ground terminal through minimum resistance.

Ambient temperature: −10 to +60°C
Relative humidity: 5 to 90% RH (No condensation)
Altitude at installation site: Max. 2000 m above sea level
Installation category based on IEC/EN61010-1: II, pollution
degree: 2 (see Note.)
NOTE
The “Installation Category” implies the regulation for
impulse withstand voltage. It is also called the
“Overvoltage category”.“ II ” applies to electrical
equipment.“Pollution level” describes the degree
to which a solid, liquid or gas which deteriorates
dielectric strength is adhering.“2” applies to a normal
indoor atmosphere.
4. MANTENABCE
4.1 Arrester Checking
The arrester main body and terminal base are connected by plug-
in. Circuit between surge side and protect side would not be open
even if the main body is removed from the socket on terminal
base by loosing main unit-fixing screw. To check the arrester
performance, remove the main body from the socket and check
it by using the AR2-CK (arrester checker: option). If the arrester
cannot be used because the main body is deteriorated or broken,
be sure to replace both the main body and the terminal block.
The terminal block may be damaged by receiving surges. The
replacement of only the main body may fail to meet its protection
performance level.
4.2 Arrester check period
To protect the instrument from damage by induced lightning, the
arrester should be checked periodically at least once a year. In
areas where lightning occurs frequently, check should be done
more often particularly after thunderstorms.
