INSTALLATION
1. Mounting
Surge-Trap is designed to mount onto a 35mm DIN-rail
or top-hat rail (standard EN 50022, BS 5584) set in the
horizontal position (See Figure 1). To install, first hook the
line side over the 35mm DIN-rail and then push in the load
side until the spring loaded mounting clip "clicks" onto the
rail with the Surge-Trap label text shown in the upright
position reading left to right.
2. Replacement / Removal
Surge-Trap Pluggable - If the blown RED indicator tab
is visible on any of the multiple pole units. To remove,
pull the plug out, discard it and replace it with a new one
by pushing it into the place of the blown one. The "click"
indicates that the plug is set in its place (See Figure 2)
Surge-Trap Modular - If the blown indicator tab is visible
on any of the multiple pole units, then the entire unit
has reached the end of its life and must be replaced. To
remove, push up on the unit and rock the top off the 35mm
DIN-rail (See Figure 2).
