RS-485 LAN Surge Diverter

The RS-485 LAN Surge Diverter is designed to connect to any LAN input on the Inner Range Integriti or Inception range of Controllers and Modules; the module must have a nearby “Protective Earth” connection for the Surge Diverter.

Surge Protectors limit the transient Voltage to a level, which is safe for the equipment they protect, by conducting the large surge current safely to ground.

Sources of electrical surges are numerous. The most common is a nearby lightning strike, which will affect nearby data lines through induction. Industrial transient surges are also significant because they are man made disturbances, caused by, switching large power loads such as lighting systems, the start-up of electric motors or industrial welders.
