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.
