Lightning Surge Protectors for
Electronics Equipment M-RESTER

LIGHTNING SURGE PROTECTOR FOR
LonWorks

(life monitor)
Functions & Features
• Designed specifically for the network
• Life monitor function helps you to decide when you should replace the surge protector
• LED and alarm contact output indicate the degradation and life span of the surge protection circuits
• Easy maintenance thanks to discharge elements installed on the element module
• No interruption of signal even unplugging head element
• DIN rail mounting

Indicators
• ALM: Green/Amber/Red tricolor LED
  OFF when no surge is detected.
Green ON when surge is detected more than once.
Amber ON when element life is about to expire.
(Prepare to replace)
Red ON when element life is expired or deteriorated
  or internal battery is drained. (Replace)
• PWR: Green LED
  ON when power is supplyed.
OFF when the base power circuit is in error.
Degradation judged: When the leakage current at the voltage limiter exceeds approx. 100 μA
Life time judged: When the number of discharges of the discharge element reaches the expected life span.
Alarm contact: Relay N.C contact
• Element error: ON when life span of the discharge element has expired, the voltage limiter is degraded, battery drain or element is removed.
• Base error: ON with power circuit error or power supply failure
