HIGH SPEED ETHERNET DATA LINE PROTECTOR
Description
The 485ELC is low capacitance, two-stage transient voltage protector the provides primary and secondary protection
against lightning, inductive switching and electrostatic discharge (ESD) transient threats. The first stage diverts the
transient current through the ground terminal return path and the second stage clamps the voltage to a safe level
without interruption of service.
The 485ELC is designed to protect data lines, transmission lines, timing and control interface circuits from commonmode (line-to-ground) or differential (line-line) transients. Terminals 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 are designed as line pairs. A
transient voltage suppressor is connected across each line pair for differential mode protection.
485ELC
Capacitance over the operating voltage range is important. If capacitance is non-linear, distortion, loss of data or access to the I/O port can occur (See Figure 1).

package information
installation instructions & DIAGRAM
This product should be located as close as possible to the equipment being protected. A low impedance grounding system is important to maintain a low clamping
voltage between the line-to-ground connection.
There are five (5) terminals on both the line and equipment side of the 485ELC - four data line terminals and two ground terminals. Both ground terminals, as shown
on the label, are connected internally. A single ground connection is sufficient. However, it is recommended that both ground connections be used for a lower impedance path to earth. This connection can be made through the green AC power ground wire or a known earth ground. The ground wire should be #14 stranded wire.
Incoming data lines are cut or disconnected from the equipment to insert the 485ELC product. The line side of the terminals are to be connected to data lines from
the outside world or lines that carry the transient threats into the equipment to be protected. The equipment side of the terminals are to be connected to the equipment to be protected . The location of the product should be such that these wires are as short as possible. A #18 or 20 gauge wire can be used for these connections.
ProTek’s data line protector 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 (line) side of the protector for those applications that require an open circuit failure mode.
Caution: A low DC resistance ground may not be indicative of a good lightning 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. For these applications, an additional protector may be necessary at the
equipment interface.
