Thank you for selecting APC SurgeArrest! It has been designed
to provide the highest value of protection against spikes and
EMI/RFI noise on electrical lines.
Save these instructions for future reference!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not install this device during a lightning storm!
The SurgeArrest is intended for a cool (0-40 °C) and dry
indoor environment with relative humidity of 0-95% non-
condensing. Do not install the SurgeArrest near heaters or
in a hot environment. Do not install the SurgeArrest in an
excessively moist or potentially wet environment, for example:
near bathtub, sinks, pools etc.
The SurgeArrest is intended to supply electric power to
computers, peripheral, and electronic equipment. The
SurgeArrest is rated for 100 VAC, 50/60 Hz, and 15 Amps
maximum.
For best protection against spikes induced by lightning
storms, it is hightly recommended that the SurgeArrest surge
suppressor be grounded to earth.

Product Features
Please refer to Figure 1 for the following information and
instructions.
➀✎ The Power Cord is designed for a three wire system (two
wires carry power and the third is connected to earth). A
two to three wire Adapter Plug is provided for two wire re-
ceptacles.
➁. Each SurgeArrest has a built-in ON/OFF Power Switch to
allow the user to activate electricity to connected equipment
such as computers, printers, terminals etc.
➂. The POWER ON indicator is activated when the Power
Switch is ON and the unit is receiving electricity.

➃. The Protection Working indicator is activated as long
as the thermal fuse is intact. If this indicator is extinguished,
the product disconnects from the utility line. In this case,
return this unit to APC for repair or replacement.
➄. Seven Outlets are provided for your convenience.
➅. Telephone Protector/ Network Port Protector (optional)
Model Pro7T-J hasa built-in one line (two wire) telephone
protector. A six foot telephone extension cord is provided.
Model Net7N-J has a built-in network protector. Network
Port Protector (for 10BaseT, 100BaseT, 100BaseTX,
100BaseT4, 100VG-AnyLAN, & Token Ring interface cards
& HUBs).
Note: Never connect an ISDN line to a SurgeArrest•.
➆. Each SurgeArrest is equipped with a 15 Amp circuit
breaker to protect against electrical power overload. Button
will pop up in the event of an overload. If this happens, un-
plug at least one piece of equipment, and reset button.
➇. A 3 prong to 2 prong Plug Adaptor is provided for your
convenience. See figure 3.

Installation Instructions
1. Turn OFF Power Switch ➁. The switch lever marked with
the “O” should be down.
2. Connect the Power Cord ➀ into a 100VAC receptacle. It
is highly recommended that a grounded receptacle be
used. If your receptacle is ungrounded (accepts only
plugs with two blades), attach the 3 to 2 Plug Adapter
that is supplied with the unit. The Adapter Plug has a
green wire that is used to connect to earth ground where
permitted or accessible. Please note that ungrounded
surge protectors do not provide effective surge protec-
tion between line to ground. Check local electrical laws
governing grounding practices. See Figure 3 below.
Figure 3
3. Connect power cords of electrical equipment to be pro-
tected into the Outlets on the SurgeArrest.
4. For model Pro7T-J, protect your telephone, fax machine,
or modem by connecting the supplied telephone exten-
sion cord into the telephone jack on the wall and con-
necting the other end into the jack marked “IN” on the
SurgeArrest. Connect your telephone equipment cord
on the jack marked “OUT” on the SurgeArrest.
5. For model Net7N-J, protect your local area network card
by connecting the LAN cable from the Concentrator
HUB to the “IN” jack on the SurgeArrest. Connect one
end of the supplied cable to the network card jack and
connect the other end to the “OUT” jack on the
SurgeArrest.
6. Turn ON the SurgeArrest power switch.
7. Turn ON connected equipment.
Note: Installation example is shown in Figure 4.

Mounting the SurgeArrest on a wall
The SurgeArrest has two mounting holes located on the bot-
tom of the unit. These holes were designed to hook on to
screw heads or nail heads. The spacing between the center of
the screw holes is 11.43 cm. For best results, when fastening
screws or nails into a wall, leave about 3.5 mm spacing be-
tween the wall and the bottom flange of the screw or nail.
