Operating instructions
Installation only by persons with appropriate electrotechnical knowledge and experience in the following areas:
Improper installation endangers your own life and the lives of users of the electrical system and there is a risk of serious damage to property, e.g. through fire. You are at risk of personal liability for personal injury and damage to property.
Contact an electrical contractor!
Serious injuries, fire or property damage are possible. Please read and follow the manual fully.
To protect against high-energy surges, install multistage selective protection. Otherwise connected devices may be damaged.
These instructions are an integral part of the product and must remain with the end customer.
Fitting and electrical connection
DANGER!
The electrical shock when live parts are touched.
Electrical shocks can be fatal.
Before carrying out work on the device or load, disengage all the corresponding circuit breakers. Cover up live parts in the working environment.
Connecting and fitting the device

This device can protect connected loads only up to the protection level specified in the technical data. Surge voltages that are higher than that may still damage the connected devices. The same applies to devices that require a lower protection level. For this reason, we accept no liability for any damage to the connected loads.
Acoustic signal sounds and red light-emitting diode lights up.
Overvoltage protection has failed due to high overvoltage. The socket-outlet continues to supply connected loads with mains voltage, but with no protection function.
Have the surge protection socket outlet exchanged by an electrically skilled person.
Pull the mains plug to cut off the acoustic signal. The signal tone will sound again when the plug is reinserted.
RCD protection switches trip.
The discharge of high overvoltages to earth by the overvoltage protection can cause RCD protection switches to trip.
Use RCD protection switches with a high peak withstand current.
The warranty is provided in accordance with statutory requirements via the specialist trade.
Please submit or send faulty devices postage paid together with an error description to your responsible salesperson (specialist trade/installation company/electrical specialist trade). They will forward the devices to the Gira Service Center.
