Power Protection
Surges and spikes from nearby lightning strikes, arc-welders and high voltage cables can destroy or disrupt unprotected electronic
equipment. These destructive forces enter mains power circuits within buildings by a variety of methods.
The primary route is where power, often dirty and spike-laden, actually enters the building. It is at this point that surges should be
stopped in order to prevent them from propagating further. However, surges and RFI can also corrupt power supplies from within
the building.
By providing protection at the main power distribution board and then at each piece of equipment, mains borne surges and spikes
are eliminated before they can cause damage. Power Protection is fundamental - MTL supplies that protection.

Safeguarding the
integrity of the entire
fieldbus system
including AC power,
transmitter and/or
trunk protection
Fieldbus Protection
The fieldbus system, by the very nature of the environment in which it will be placed, is at risk from surges across the fieldbus system.
Because the fieldbus system is controlling and handling the data transactions across a common trunk, the importance of safeguarding
the integrity of the fieldbus system is paramount in order that the shutdown of multiple processes does not occur.
MTL can supply that protection, whether for AC power, transmitter or trunk protection we have your fieldbus system covered. Our
fieldbus solutions can be applied without impacting the length of the fieldbus run or the number of devices.

SPECIALIST PROTECTION
CA Series
ANTENNAE PROTECTION
CA Series devices are wideband, high current devices for the protection of radio transmitters
and receivers connected to coaxial feeders. They protect vulnerable equipment without
affecting normal operation, passing high frequency signals with little attenuation while
diverting surge currents safely to earth and clamping output voltages to safe levels.
For the protection of radio transmitters and receivers connected to coaxial feeders
Wide range of connector styles to suit all applications
Large bandwidth dc to >2GHz
Range of mounting kits and enclosures available
LC30
The LC30 surge protection device protects load cell and weighing system installations
from possible malfunctions, or damage to individual strain-gauge bridges of associated
electronic instrumentation etc., caused by severe overvoltages or impulse currents on
signal cabling. Fully solid state, the LC30 clamps incoming surges immediately without
causing undue leakage losses under normal conditions.
Once the surge has passed, the device automatically resets to the passive state, allowing
normal operations to continue. The advanced protection concept used in the LC30 also
eliminates the expensive additional earthing systems specified by other suppliers so
field installation is very simple indeed. The LC30 device is non-voltage producing, nonenergy storing simple apparatus and as such, can be used in hazardous areas with
appropriate self generated system documentation.
These modules can be purchased individually for DIN rail or surface mounting. For
specific applications, the modules can easily be configured in sets, for example a threemodule set may be required for an outdoor camera (Video, PTZ and 24V AC power).
Each module provides high, 10kA minimum, levels of protection as well as very low
insertion loss to maintain excellent video quality. Surge damage to CCTV surveillance
systems and video equipment is not always obvious and may reduce the reliability of
the installation and lead to costly system downtime. Monitoring stations are particularly
at risk as they may be linked to a large number of cameras, any of which may introduce
surge current from nearby lightning strikes. Fitting reliable surge protection is therefore
vital, can you afford to take the risk?
Protection modules available for:
Analogue video signal
RS232, RS422, RS485 for Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ)
24V or 48V AC/DC power, 120V or 240V AC power
Video over IP/Ethernet
