	The specimen demonstrates APC's transition from the earlier ©1996 suppression-board design to the ©2002 revision while preserving the characteristic external appearance of the PRO7 product family.		The specimen demonstrates APC's transition from the earlier ©1996 suppression-board design to the ©2002 revision while preserving the characteristic external appearance of the PRO7 product family.

	~~The~~ APC-~~branded~~ attachment plug ~~appears unique among~~ the documented ~~examples and may represent a supplier~~ or ~~production change during~~ this ~~period~~.		Among the documented examples, only the December 2002 specimen incorporates molded APC branding on the rear of the right-angle attachment plug. None of the currently documented 1998, 2008, or 2017 PRO7 specimens exhibit this feature.


			The significance of the APC-branded plug is presently unknown but may reflect a supplier change, manufacturing variation, or production-generation distinction within the PRO7 product family.

			The documented example was tested for basic electrical operation and wiring integrity.

	~~Testing documentation pending~~.		The rocker switch successfully controlled power to all outlets.

			When connected to a properly wired receptacle and switched ON, the green Protection Working indicator illuminated normally, indicating the continued presence of functional surge-protection circuitry.

			The red Site Wiring Fault indicator remained unlit during testing.

			When switched OFF, both indicators extinguished and power was removed from the outlet bank.

			Testing with a receptacle tester confirmed correct hot, neutral, and ground wiring. No open ground, open neutral, reversed polarity, or other wiring faults were detected.

			The documented example passed basic outlet-wiring verification and appears fully operational following functional testing.

			The documented example was acquired as part of a lot containing APC SurgeArrest Professional surge protectors obtained by the OldSurge Archive.

	The ~~documented example was acquired as part~~ of a ~~lot containing APC SurgeArrest Professional surge protectors obtained by~~ the ~~OldSurge Archive~~.		The enclosure exhibited moderate yellowing and cosmetic wear consistent with age and long-term service.

			A lighter rectangular area on the upper housing indicated the previous presence of an adhesive label or sticker. The protected area retained noticeably more of its original color than the surrounding enclosure surfaces.

			Subtle discoloration patterns around the outlet section suggest that a grounded device may have remained connected to the outlet nearest the end opposite the power-cord entry for an extended period.

	~~Condition~~ documentation ~~pending~~.		The unit was cleaned prior to detailed documentation and photography.
