SIGNAL LINE PROTECTORS - DATA HIGHWAY DIN RAIL DINsafe
Product Description
Novaris Technologies DINsafe signal line protectors are designed for the effective protection against lightning induced overvoltages on process control, telemetry, PLC, telecommunications and information technology systems.
The Data Highway protector is designed for the protection of PLC and other distributed control systems using data highway protocols. Each unit provides protection for up to two circuits for the transmit and receive lines.
Operation
Multistage transient protection is utilised with gas filled arrestors, as the first stage, absorb the majority of the energy.
Fine protection consisting of a secondary clamping stage absorbs residual let through energy from the gas arrestor. In the data highway protector a unique circuit is utilised to minimise loading caused by component capacitance. This results in a usable frequency response to beyond 20MHz so that high speed digital signals can pass without attenuation or distortion.
The secondary clamping circuit provides an exact clamping voltage of 36V regardless of the magnitude of the incoming surge.
Protection is provided for both common and transverse mode disturbances with an isolated frame ground providing a low impedance to frame under surge conditions. Yet this appears as an open circuit under normal conditions. This technique eliminates noise that may be introduced by earth loops.
Installation
Install one unit at each item of equipment to be protected. When screened cable is used connect the screen to the SCR connection. Connect the frame ground stud to the earth of the equipment. In the two pair version 2 circuits are provided for the transmit and receive lines. If these lines are in a single cable, only one screen connection is necessary. Regardless of the direction of signal flow, always connect the LINE to the external cable side.
