• Designed with protection against transients and ESD for use under harsh environments.
Serial Port
15 kV ESD protection on RS232 and RS422/485 transceivers
Power Input
Up to non-repeated 600 W 10/100 usec use pulse protection against transient over voltagesovervoltages
Ethernet Port
1500 VAC isolation shielded with shield connected to chassis ground for signal integrity and ESD protection
As for the method of isolation:
The serial port is NOT isolated on the UDS1100; it is referenced to the DC ground input. It has ESD discharge protection and is achieved via diode protection in the serial driver chip.
Power input uses a transient voltage suppressor via back to back diodes.
The Ethernet port uses a transformer for magnetic isolation (1500 VAC).
