Providing System Surge Protection

The Click 222 system surge protector is designed to prevent electrical surges conducted

Note

The SmartSensor Advance has built-in surge protection and so there is no need to
use a pole-mount box for surge protection on the sensor side of the cable. However,

in the main traffic cabinet. If you choose not to use surge protection in your main
traffic cabinet, please contact Wavetronix Technical Services for assistance.

faceplate are protected from surges on the incoming SmartSensor 6-conductor cables.

The Click 222 faceplate has four activity indicator LEDs:
