The PCX500E-AC Transmitter is a component in a Digital
Electricity™ line powering system. When paired with a
VoltServer receiver unit, a Digital Electricity™ (DE) system is
formed (see diagram). If a fault occurs on the DE line between
the transmitter and receiver (such as a person contacting the
conductors or a loose connection) power is disconnected;
preventing fire, equipment damage and personal injury. The
PCX500E-AC is a Listed product, certified to safety and EMC
standards by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory.
