Application Guide
Security Camera Protection
A surge suppressor is needed to protect power, video and data circuits, because in a nanosecond,
transients can disrupt, disable and ruin this mission-critical equipment. It’s why companies turn to
Emerson Network Power to protect their advanced security systems.
Surge suppressor installation may be close-nipple up to a security panel or hardwired in parallel to
the power supply input terminal screws. A surge suppressor is recommended on the video line
head end (DVR) as well as the camera end to protect against damaging effects of lightning, spikes,
and surges. A surge suppressor is recommended on the PTZ data line head end (DVR) as well as the
camera end to protect against damaging effects of lightning, spikes, and surges.
Edco HSP121BT-RU
The Edco™ HSP121BT-1RU is a hardwire 3-stage hybrid protector, featuring a 15 amp replaceable
fuse, failure indicator and noise filtering. In the rare event of the unit failing, the equipment is
removed from the load. ANSI/UL1449 Third Edition, Type 4.
The Islatrol™ SP-6TVN is an industrial-strength surge suppression/filtering device that plugs into a
standard duplex receptacle. It features uniquely designed repositionable outlets for easy
installation behind desks and other furniture and an external ground screw to aid in single point
grounding. ANSI/UL1449 Third Edition, Type 3.
Islatrol SP-6TVN
The Edco CX06-M and CX06-MI implement three-stage hybrid technology. Sneak and fault
currents are mitigated with solid-state resettable fuses—PTCs. The Edco CX06 Series are designed
in accordance with NFPA 780 requirements, with up to 20kA of surge current capability.
The Edco FAS-1-043 is a multi-stage single pair surge suppressor designed for high exposure
applications. This product was specifically designed to meet multiple low voltage protection
applications in the fire/security and CCTV industries. This unit will work for 24 volts AC or DC, up to
2.5 amps. UL 497B.
Edco CX06 Series
The Edco RM-CX06-16R Surge Protective Device is a 16 channel coax SPD implementing threestage hybrid technology. This device addresses overvoltage transients with a primary gas discharge
tube (GDT), and secondary silicon avalanche diode (SAD) components. Over-current protection,
e.g., sneak, and fault currents, are mitigated with solid-state resettable fuses-PTCs. UL Listed.
An Edco PC642 surge suppressor is recommended on the PTZ data lines at the head end (DVR), as
well as the camera end. This is a two-pair (four-wire) module implementing three-stage hybrid
technology, allowing it to protect against multiple surge events without replacement. The Edco
PC642 easily plugs into the Edco PCB1B-WKEY base.
A surge suppressor is recommended on the POE lines at both ends (camera and head),
to protect against damaging effects of lightning, spikes, and surges, the Edco
CAT6-5POE-FF is ideally suited for these installations.

IEEE Standard
4.4.5.1 “Signal-carrying circuits are susceptible
to
surge
interference
via
conduction,
inductive and capacitive coupling, and
electromagnetic radiation.”
8.6.6 “Electronic equipment containing both ac
power and data cabling should also be properly
protected via surge protective devices on both
the ac power and data cables.”
8.6 “…a listed and properly rated surge
protective device should be applied to each
individual or set of electrical conductors (e.g.,
power, voice, and data) penetrating any of the
six sides forming a structure.”
