Connecting the AC power module to a power strip with
lightning protection (optional)

CAUTION:

Make sure the PE terminal of the power socket has been securely grounded.

If part of the AC power line is routed outdoors, use a power strip with lightning protection to connect the

AC power cord of the firewall to the AC power line to protect the firewall from being damaged by
lightning strikes.
You can attach the power strip to the rack, workbench, or wall of equipment room.
After you connect the AC power cord from the firewall to a socket on the power strip, verify that the green

RUN LED on the strip is on and the red LED is off.
If the red LED is on, use a multimeter to check the polarity of the wires in the power socket for wrong
connections. If the zero wire (left) and the live wire (right) are correctly connected, check for missing

grounding connection.

Figure 15 Power strip with lightning protection

(1) Working LED (green)

On means the circuit is working normally; off means the circuit is
damaged.

(2) Grounding/pole detection LED (red) On indicates a wrong wire connection (the wire is not grounded or

the live line and null line are reversely connected), and you need to
check the power supply line.

(3) Power switch
(4) IEC standard socket

It is used to connect to the power supply in the equipment room
through a power cord.

(5) Overload automatic protector

The protector automatically opens the electric circuit when the
current exceeds the threshold and closes the electric circuit when
the current drops below the threshold.

(6) Multifunctional socket

It is used to connect the power module of the firewall.
