Transient Voltage Line Protector

The Transient Voltage Line Protector kit for the 16-port concentrator of the 64-port asynchronous adapter, clips off dataline voltage spikes that come from induced noise in a cabling environment. It is possible, in some circumstances, for voltage spikes to cause unrecoverable data interruptions to the port. In some severe cases, spikes may cause permanent damage to the 64-port hardware.

The line protectors are effective in protecting the 16-port concentrators from voltage spikes due to thunderstorm activity and other sources of damaging electromagnetic or electrostatic energy.

Attention: Line protectors must not be used in place of outdoor surge protectors when going out of doors or between buildings.

Transient Voltage Line Protectors Terms and Conditions

The following are the terms and conditions necessary for transient voltage line protectors:

Follow the installation instructions and verify that the concentrator power cord ground is connected to a solid AC ground. Contact your hardware service representative for more information concerning transient voltage line protectors.
