Transient The RS-485 port on the D20ME II provides no isolation and offers limited built-in
Suppression transient suppression. If you are using the D20ME II in an environment where longer
cable runs with larger transients are expected, installation of an external transient
suppression device is recommended to protect the RTU. In addition, GE
recommends the installation of an external transient suppression device when the
RS-485 communication cable must be run to devices located outside of the RTU
cabinet containing the D20ME II. Contact customer service for additional
information.
