STORAGE AND HANDLING NOTES:
1. Arrester blocks should be stored in a moisture free environment at all times.
2. Use caution during handling to prevent damage or chipping of edges of the arrester blocks.
CAUTION: Stresses above those listed in “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress only rating and operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied.
