FAQ
What voltage range does this surge suppressor protect?
The DITEK DTK-4LVLPLV is designed specifically for 30V DC applications. It accepts 30V input and provides protected 30V DC output, making it suitable for low-voltage datacom and control systems operating at this voltage level. This precise voltage matching ensures optimal protection without voltage conversion or adjustment requirements.
How does the terminal block connection work?
This surge suppressor uses screw-down terminal blocks instead of plug-style connectors. You connect wires directly to the terminal blocks using screws, creating a secure, permanent connection that resists vibration and maintains electrical continuity. This design is ideal for industrial installations where reliable connections are critical and where plug connectors might loosen over time.
What does 'datacommunication protection' mean for this device?
Datacommunication protection refers to the suppressor's ability to protect data communication lines from voltage transients. It safeguards the integrity of data signals passing through connected equipment, preventing corruption or disruption caused by electrical surges. This is particularly important for sensitive networking equipment, control systems, and communication infrastructure where data integrity is essential.
What is the significance of the 2 kA surge rating?
The 2 kA (kiloampere) surge rating indicates the maximum transient current the suppressor can safely handle during a surge event. This rating represents robust protection capability, allowing the device to clamp dangerous voltage spikes before they reach connected equipment. A 2 kA rating provides substantial protection for most low-voltage applications, including those in environments with moderate electrical noise or lightning exposure.
What compliance standards does this suppressor meet?
The DTK-4LVLPLV meets both RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance standards. RoHS compliance ensures the device restricts hazardous materials, making it environmentally friendly. TAA compliance means it qualifies for government procurement under trade agreement requirements. Additionally, the suppressor is manufactured in the United States.
What type of warranty comes with this surge suppressor?
DITEK provides a 10-year limited warranty for the DTK-4LVLPLV surge suppressor. This extended warranty period reflects confidence in the product's durability and protection performance. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, providing long-term assurance for installations where reliable surge protection is essential for system uptime and equipment protection.
What power capacity is listed for this UPS?
Power specifications help show where the unit fits best, including the type of load level, electrical environment, and backup role it is intended to support. These are usually the most decision-critical facts in a UPS or power-protection comparison.
What voltage details are listed?
The listed power specification is 30 V, which helps position the unit for the right load level and installation role.
