II. Installation procedure 
Step 1: Tear the protection paper at one side of the double faced adhesive tape apart 
from the tape, and stick the tape on the surface of the arrester. Tear the protection 
paper at another side apart from the tape, and stick the arrester onto the chassis of 
the switch. The arrester should be attached on the chassis 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 the arrester, 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 the grounding screw of chassis. 
Step 4: According to the instruction of arrester for network port, connect the arrester 
with switch by the cables (be carefully with the cable direction. Outdoor network cable 
should be inserted into the arrester‘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. 
 
  Note: 
The instruction of lightning arrester for network port contains the technical specifications, installation and 
maintenance guide of the arrester. Please carefully read it before installing the arrester.  
 
Step 5: Use the nylon ties to bundle the cables neatly.
