IPCOAX1
IP Ethernet over COAX Surge Protector
INSTALLATION
The IPCOAX1 must be properly installed to insure maximum protection.
The function of the IPCOAX1 is to allow a surge to be routed to ground
and to clamp the protected equipment inputs to a minimum voltage.
There are three key points to remember when installing the IPCOAX1.
First provide a low impedance connection between the IPCOAX1 and
your protected equipment. This is best done by keeping the
PROTECTED cable connection as short as possible, idealy 3 feet or
less.
Second, the system should use a single ground point. Connect the
grounding wire of the IPCOAX1 to a single ground point. A single
ground point is a proper earth ground to which equipment grounds
are connected. Ideally the protected equipment should be isolated
from ground.
Finally, the UNPROTECTED cable should not be crossed with the
PROTECTED cable. Crossing cables could provide a path for surge
currents to bypass the IPCOAX1 protection circuits.
