Grounding
(Please note: All dedicated grounding conductors should be bonded to
Building Approved AC Power Safety Ground. Contact technical support at
800-648-4076 for installation recommendations.)
It is important to understand that lightning and other surge currents are seeking
routes to earth ground through any low-impedance path they can find. Any
conductors penetrating an exterior wall of a facility can act as an antenna,
attracting unwanted energy and causing it to travel through sensitive electronic
equipment that has a good ground reference. With these two thoughts in mind,
to properly protect your mission critical equipment, you must create a low
impedance path to ground for any extra or unwanted energy to travel before it gets
to your equipment. A good ground reference will help dissipate energy efficiently
and minimize the chance of damage or injury. Proper grounding also protects
personnel from the dangers of shock and hazardous voltages, and contributes to
the reduction of electrical noise. When our surge suppressors are used in line with
your electronics, it is of the utmost importance that a proper ground reference
be established. Because our suppressors become a low impedance pathway
when they turn on (see page 6), the necessity for the energy to continue to ground
and be dissipated has now become the highest priority. Without the proper
reference or connection, the unwanted energy continues through to your panel,
which typically results in damaged components on the circuit board or nuisance
“troubles.”

outlets for easy installation behind desks and other furniture
and an external ground screw to aid in single point grounding.
Perfect for home or office. ANSI/UL1449 Third Edition, Type 3.
■ The Edco PHC Series is designed to protect two pairs of wires
Edco PCB1B-WKEY Base
(Sold Separately)
specifically for alarm, security and speaker systems where
operating currents can be as high as 5 Amps. Electrically, the
Edco PHC Series is a rugged series hybrid implementing a
staged complement of MOVs, copper wound inductors and
Silicon Avalanche Diodes. This design reduces series resistance
to 0.2 ohms per pair. These products are intended to mate
with an Edco PCB1B-WKEY gold-plated female terminal
connector (sold separately).
■ The Edco OPX Series surge protectors are designed
specifically for medium exposure applications. Thus, the
protectors can be used on pairs inside a building or leaving a
building in conduit up to 500 feet. The Edco OPX Series offers
several distinct advantages over other current technologies.
Among the advantages are low cost, no series resistance, and
durable, solid-state construction. The Edco OPX Series single
pair modules fit onto a standard Edco M1-50 split block. In
addition, these modules require the Edco MGB Ground Rail
for each Edco M1-50 block used.
Gas Discharge Tube (GDTs)
GDTs provide a low impedance path for
transients to follow when voltages exceed the
DC rating. GDTs have a very high surge current
rating with low capacitance.
Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs)
MOVs shunt transients by decreasing their
resistance as voltage is applied. MOVs have highenergy dissipation and good clamping response
with normal capacitance.
PolySwitch Resettable Fuses (PTCs)
A PTC protects a circuit by going from a low
resistance to a high-resistance state in response to
an overcurrent condition. A PTC will automatically
reset (resume its low-resistance state) after the
fault condition has passed.
■ Edco PB Series modules are solid-state protectors for
Intercom Extension pairs. These hybrid protectors feature
solid-state resettable fuses (PTCs) between the protected
equipment and the over voltage clamping components. This
unique design prevents problems with All-Call in the event of
catastrophic protector failure. The Edco PB Series single pair
modules fit onto a standard Edco M1-50 split block and
replace bridging clips. In addition, these modules require the
Edco MGB Ground Rail for each Edco M1-50 block used.
20
Silicon Avalanche Diodes (SADs)
SADs have good surge handling capabilities
with an extremely fast clamping response.
Capacitance is nominal, which makes it ideal for
data, signal line and telco applications.
Sidactor
Sidactors, when turned on, will crowbar and
simulate a short circuit condition. They offer
fast clamping response and excellent surge
handling capability with low capacitance.
5
Edco Series Hybrid Surge Suppressors
Protecting Sound/Intercom Systems
An Edco series hybrid surge suppressor is essentially a threshold type of device.
Voltages higher than the threshold level result in the suppressor becoming a low
impedance path to ground. A suppressor in the low impedance state will conduct
the transient from the protected line. Looking at the illustration below, you’ll notice
that we combine several technologies to build the highest quality, industrial grade
series suppressor on the market today. The Edco PC642-Series (shown below)
uses SADs and GDTs together in a circuit, but is separated by PTCs, which provide
adequate resistance to separate the components. This combination has been field
tested in the harshest environments and has been proven to be fast, rugged and
reliable for data, signal line, telco and virtually all low voltage applications where
the steady state of current is less than 200 milliamperes. It is, therefore, critical
that the suppressor be applied to the specific service for which it was designed.
For product recommendations, please do not hesitate to call 800-288-6169.

Edco Series Hybrid Surge Suppressors
Protecting Sound/Intercom Systems
An Edco series hybrid surge suppressor is essentially a threshold type of device.
Voltages higher than the threshold level result in the suppressor becoming a low
impedance path to ground. A suppressor in the low impedance state will conduct
the transient from the protected line. Looking at the illustration below, you’ll notice
that we combine several technologies to build the highest quality, industrial grade
series suppressor on the market today. The Edco PC642-Series (shown below)
uses SADs and GDTs together in a circuit, but is separated by PTCs, which provide
adequate resistance to separate the components. This combination has been field
tested in the harshest environments and has been proven to be fast, rugged and
reliable for data, signal line, telco and virtually all low voltage applications where
the steady state of current is less than 200 milliamperes. It is, therefore, critical
that the suppressor be applied to the specific service for which it was designed.
For product recommendations, please do not hesitate to call 800-288-6169.

■ The Edco PHC Series is designed to protect two pairs of wires
Edco PCB1B-WKEY Base
(Sold Separately)
specifically for alarm, security and speaker systems where
operating currents can be as high as 5 Amps. Electrically, the
Edco PHC Series is a rugged series hybrid implementing a
staged complement of MOVs, copper wound inductors and
Silicon Avalanche Diodes. This design reduces series resistance
to 0.2 ohms per pair. These products are intended to mate
with an Edco PCB1B-WKEY gold-plated female terminal
connector (sold separately).
■ The Edco OPX Series surge protectors are designed
specifically for medium exposure applications. Thus, the
protectors can be used on pairs inside a building or leaving a
building in conduit up to 500 feet. The Edco OPX Series offers
several distinct advantages over other current technologies.
Among the advantages are low cost, no series resistance, and
durable, solid-state construction. The Edco OPX Series single
pair modules fit onto a standard Edco M1-50 split block. In
addition, these modules require the Edco MGB Ground Rail
for each Edco M1-50 block used.
Gas Discharge Tube (GDTs)
GDTs provide a low impedance path for
transients to follow when voltages exceed the
DC rating. GDTs have a very high surge current
rating with low capacitance.
Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs)
MOVs shunt transients by decreasing their
resistance as voltage is applied. MOVs have highenergy dissipation and good clamping response
with normal capacitance.
PolySwitch Resettable Fuses (PTCs)
A PTC protects a circuit by going from a low
resistance to a high-resistance state in response to
an overcurrent condition. A PTC will automatically
reset (resume its low-resistance state) after the
fault condition has passed.
■ Edco PB Series modules are solid-state protectors for
Intercom Extension pairs. These hybrid protectors feature
solid-state resettable fuses (PTCs) between the protected
equipment and the over voltage clamping components. This
unique design prevents problems with All-Call in the event of
catastrophic protector failure. The Edco PB Series single pair
modules fit onto a standard Edco M1-50 split block and
replace bridging clips. In addition, these modules require the
Edco MGB Ground Rail for each Edco M1-50 block used.

Silicon Avalanche Diodes (SADs)
SADs have good surge handling capabilities
with an extremely fast clamping response.
Capacitance is nominal, which makes it ideal for
data, signal line and telco applications.
Sidactor
Sidactors, when turned on, will crowbar and
simulate a short circuit condition. They offer
fast clamping response and excellent surge
handling capability with low capacitance.

Grounding
(Please note: All dedicated grounding conductors should be bonded to
Building Approved AC Power Safety Ground. Contact technical support at
800-648-4076 for installation recommendations.)
It is important to understand that lightning and other surge currents are seeking
routes to earth ground through any low-impedance path they can find. Any
conductors penetrating an exterior wall of a facility can act as an antenna,
attracting unwanted energy and causing it to travel through sensitive electronic
equipment that has a good ground reference. With these two thoughts in mind,
to properly protect your mission critical equipment, you must create a low
impedance path to ground for any extra or unwanted energy to travel before it gets
to your equipment. A good ground reference will help dissipate energy efficiently
and minimize the chance of damage or injury. Proper grounding also protects
personnel from the dangers of shock and hazardous voltages, and contributes to
the reduction of electrical noise. When our surge suppressors are used in line with
your electronics, it is of the utmost importance that a proper ground reference
be established. Because our suppressors become a low impedance pathway
when they turn on (see page 6), the necessity for the energy to continue to ground
and be dissipated has now become the highest priority. Without the proper
reference or connection, the unwanted energy continues through to your panel,
which typically results in damaged components on the circuit board or nuisance
“troubles.”
