2.2 DESCRIPTION
The Model 540 is a primary surge protector designed specifical-
ly for IBM 3270 environments. The Model 540 provides a clamping
voltage of 11 volts and a response time of less than 5 nanoseconds.
To offer extra protection, the Model 540 utilizes a "two point"
approach and guards against both positive and negative transients.
Connecting directly to your equipment, the Model 540 can han-
dle repeated surges up to 5kA. If the Model 540 receives a surge,
all voltages will be sent directly to ground through a heavy duty 6"
braided metal strap and your hardware will be protected. The Model
540 is housed in an ABS plastic case and measures only 2.0" x 1.0".
Warning—This product will not provide complete protection
should your equipment or building be subject to a direct lightening
hit.
