DESCRIPTION
The 420E2 series is a two stage transient voltage protector providing 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 420E2 series is designed to protect 4-20mA analog control loops from differential and
common mode transients. Terminals 1 and 2 are designed as the line pairs for both the line and
equipment side of the protector. A transient voltage suppressor is internally connected across
each line pair for differential mode protection. Each line pair is referenced to ground.
This product can also be used on telephone, signal/data lines, security timing and control
interface circuits.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
There are two (2) terminals on the
LINE SIDE
and three (3) wires on the
EQUIPMENT SIDE
of this surge protection device (SPD). The Ground
lead is considered ground for both the input terminal and the equipment
wire connections. For the best results, the ground wire should be
connected to a low impedance ground or the green wire AC power
ground. It is recommended that a #14 standard wire be used for this
connection.
Field (current) loops or incoming signal/data lines are to be cut or
disconnected from the equipment to insert the SPD. The
LINE SIDE
terminals of the protector are to be connected to the field loop wires.
The
EQUIPMENT SIDE
of the protector is connected to the equipment/
controller, etc. The location of the protector should be as close to the
equipment requiring protection.
