Protection  Built-in surge and transient protection for power and communications in 
compliance with EN61000-6-1. 
Incoming power and network connections are protected by non-replaceable 
internal solid-state polyswitches that reset themselves when the condition that 
causes a fault returns to normal.  
The power, network, input, and output connections are also protected against 
transient excess voltage/surge events lasting no more than 10 msec. 
 To protect against large electrical surges on serial EIA-485 
networks, place a PROT485 at each place wire enters or exits the building.
 
Status indicators  LEDs indicate status of communications, running, errors, power, and digital 
outputs
