Each line is individually surge protected to 50
Joules and 4000 Amps. Some surges contain
sufficient energy that although your system
has been protected, the surge circuit will be
unable to provide additional protection. When
this happens, the red light for that line will turn
on and the module needs to be returned for
service.
