Lightning Surge Protectors for
Electronics Equipment M-RESTER

LIGHTNING SURGE PROTECTOR FOR
STANDARD SIGNAL LINE & PULSE USE

Functions & Features
• Designed specifically for 4 – 20mA DC and
pulse signal line including both 4-wire and 2- wire transmitters
• Life monitor function helps you to decide when you should replace the surge protector; reduces maintenance and prevents downtime
• Pressing CHK (Check) button confirms the degradation and life span of the surge protection circuits with LEDs
• Absorbs surges only without affecting instrumentation signal
• No interruption of signal by unplugging surge protector element
