Surge Protection
The Edco HVCP Series is a hybrid surge protection product featuring DC power, data and video protection in
one package. Each separate circuit is capable of handling high-current impulses while tightly clamping
transients and allowing critical power and data to be transmitted. The surge protection should be mounted in
the traffic cabinet between the incoming cable from the VersiCam camera and the ICC Module.
The specification sheet for the surge protection device is available in Section 10: Technical Information. All
surge protection must be approved by Iteris for use with the Vantage video detection systems. Failure to
install surge protection, or using non-approved surge protection devices, will void the Vantage equipment
warranties.
Important: The surge protection device must be grounded to operate correctly. Failure to
correctly ground the surge protection device may result in damage to the VersiCam system. The
attached 12 gauge wire should run the shortest distance to ground, without severe bends, and to a
common chassis ground point, is usually best. See the surge protection device manufacturer’s
recommendations for more specific information.
Also, make sure the surge protector is oriented correctly. The "field" side should come from the VersiCam
camera, while the "protected" side should go to the ICC Module. Reversing these surge device connections
can result in significantly reduced surge protection and a greater risk of damage to your Versicam system.
