CAUTION
FOR HIGH
VOLTAGE
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.
Power supply and grounding cables
Nominal cross-sectional area of conductor: 2.0 mm2or more.
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

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.

3.1 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.
3.2 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.
