FAQ
Common questions about LY21-1 RJ11 telephone line surge protector selection and installation.
What is the LY21-1 RJ11 surge protector used for?
LY21-1 is installed in series with an RJ11 telephone or audio communication line to help prevent transient overvoltage from reaching telephone, fax, modem, PBX, and emergency communication equipment.
Welche Spannungsvariante sollte ausgewählt werden?
Select the 45V, 130V, or 170V operating-voltage version according to the normal and ringing voltage of the protected telephone or communication line. The corresponding maximum continuous voltages are 60V, 150V, and 185V.
Can LY21-1 be used for fax machines and modems?
Yes. It is suitable for fax equipment, analog modems, SPC exchanges, relay lines, and similar devices using RJ11 telephone or audio communication connections.
Will the protector affect telephone or data transmission?
The listed maximum transmission rate is 2Mbps and the insertion loss is no more than 0.2dB. Compatibility should still be checked against the actual line voltage, signal type, ringing voltage, cable length, and connected equipment.
How should LY21-1 be installed?
Install it inline between the incoming RJ11 line and the protected equipment. Place it as close as practical to the protected device and keep the grounding connection short and direct where required.
Was sollte vor der Bestellung bestätigt werden?
Confirm the normal line voltage, ringing voltage, RJ11 pin configuration, number of protected conductors, signal type, load current, grounding method, installation direction, and required surge withstand level.
