PACKAGE INFORMATION
INSTALLATION INSTRuCTIONS & DIAGRAM
There are five (5) terminals on the LINE SIDE and five (5) terminals on the EQUIPMENT SIDE of the 422ELC, 4 data lines and one ground. Both grounds are connected
together internally. A single low impedance ground is sufficient. Incoming data lines are cut or disconnected from the equipment to insert the 422ELC product. The
incoming lines are to be connected to the line side terminals as the equipment side lines are connected to the equipment side terminals. The location of the product
should be as close to the equipment as possible. The 422ELC series is designed with a short circuit failure mode to give maximum protection. A fuse, fusible link, or
circuit breaker is recommended for each data/signal line on the input side for those that require an open circuit failure mode.
Caution:
A low DC resistance ground may not be a good ground. Lightning contains a broad spectrum of frequencies up to 1 MHz. A low impedance path to ground
at the transient frequencies is necessary. A ground strap is recommended or a #6 AWG stranded wire. For wire lengths over 1.5 meters, there may be some excessive
line to earth potential under severe thunderstorm conditions.
