A-3tape, and stick the arrester onto the chassis of the switch. The arrester should be attached on thechassis as close to the grounding screw as possible.Step 2: According to the distance to the grounding screw of the switch, cut the ground wire of thearrester, and securely tightening its ground wire to the grounding screw of the switch.Step 3: Use the multimeter to measure whether the ground wire of the arrester contacts well with thegrounding screw of chassis.Step 4: According to the instruction of arrester for network port, connect the arrester with switch by thecables (be carefully with the cable direction. Outdoor network cable should be inserted into thearrester‘s IN end, and the cable connected to the switch should be inserted into the arrester’s OUT end).When you do that, observe whether the arrester indicators normally display.The instruction of lightning arrester for network port contains the technical specifications, installationand maintenance guide of the arrester. Please carefully read it before installing the arrester.Step 5: Use the nylon ties to bundle the cables neatly.Figure A-2 Installation diagram of lightning arrester for network portSwitchNetwork cable indoorsPower inputNetwork cable led into from outdoorLightning arrester for network port(attached onto the chassis)Ground wire of lightning arresterGrounding screw of switchMetal cabinet that contains the switchInstallation precautionsFully consider the following items in the installation process, otherwise, the performance of the lightningarrester for network port will be affected:z Lightning arrester for network port is installed in reverse direction. In practice, the “IN” end shouldbe connected to the outdoor network cable and the “OUT” end to the network port on the switch.z Lightning arrester for the network port is not well grounded. The ground wire for the arrester shouldbe as short as possible, so to ensure its good contact with the grounding screw of the switch. Afterthe connection, use the multimeter to confirm that.z The lightning arrester for the network port is not installed completely. If the switch has more thanone network ports to interconnect with other devices via cables outdoor, you should install lightningarresters for all these network ports for protection.
