Weight
The documented APC SurgeArrest Professional PRO7 weighed 1 lb 15.7 oz (899 g) prior to disassembly. Because this example underwent a complete destructive teardown for material analysis, the total weight serves as a baseline for comparison against the weight of individual recovered components including the power cord, enclosure, bus bars, printed circuit board, and suppression components.

Date Codes
The interior enclosure contains two molded date wheels. One component is dated April 2002 while another is dated May 2002. These markings indicate manufacture of the plastic enclosure components during spring 2002.
An external APC identification label on the bottom identifies the unit as model PRO7 with serial number 1Z0222R02812 and indicates manufacture in China. The enclosure date codes are consistent with production during 2002. The '02' following the '1Z' in the serial number is indicative of manufacture in 2002 per the identification instructions in the APC Recall: APC SurgeArrest Recall (2013)
This example is noteworthy because its printed circuit board carries a 1997 copyright marking despite the enclosure and serial-number evidence indicating manufacture in 2002. A later December 2002 PRO7 documented by OldSurge instead contained a circuit board bearing a 2002 copyright marking, demonstrating that at least two PCB revisions were present within the PRO7 product family during 2002.

Teardown
Two molded date wheels are present on the inside of the enclosure. Both enclosure components are dated May 2002. These markings are consistent with production during mid-2002 and place the documented example approximately seven months earlier than the December 2002 example previously documented by OldSurge.
