ESP KS & KE Series
For PSTN and U interface ISDN lines on LSA-PLUS modules, use the ESP KT1 or ESP K10T1. For
S/T interface ISDN lines on LSA-PLUS modules, use the ESP KT2 or ESP K10T2. For individual
twisted pair data or signal lines, use the ESP D, E or H Series Lightning Barriers. The ESP SL
and ESP Q Series Lightning Barriers are suitable for high density data and signal lines.
Single line protectors installed on LSA-PLUS
disconnection modules, via ESP KE10 earth
bars, on all incoming signal and data lines
Low cost protection for large numbers of data and signal lines
Very low let-through voltage (enhanced protection to BS EN 62305)
between all lines - Full Mode protection
Full mode design capable of handling partial lightning currents as well
as allowing continual operation of protected equipment
Repeated protection in lightning intense environments
Colour of housing distinguishes electrically different protectors to
help avoid confusion when installed with other protectors (e.g. the
ESP KT1/2) on the same distribution frame
Quick and easy plug-in installation
Protect only the lines you need
Ridged finger holds make it easy to obtain a firm grip for installation
or removal
Use the ESP KE10 to provide trouble free earthing for up to
ten protectors (per disconnection module)
Features and benefits
Combined Category D, C, B tested protector (to BS EN 61643)
suitable for use on ten line LSA-PLUS disconnection modules to
protect individual twisted pair data or signal lines. For use at
boundaries up to LPZ 0 B to protect against flashover (typically the
service entrance location) through to LPZ 3 to protect sensitive
electronic equipment.
Install protectors on all data
communication and signal lines
that enter or leave each building.
All protectors must be installed via
the ESP KE10 earth bar. Identify
the lines requiring protection and
clip the ESP KE10 on to the
disconnection modules’ earth
points. Plug the protector directly
into each disconnection module
requiring protection (ensuring
the correct orientation) for a
series connection.
In the unlikely situation that the
protector is damaged, it will
sacrifice itself and fail short circuit,
taking the line out of commission.
In addition to indicating that the
protector needs replacing, this will
also prevent subsequent transients
from damaging the equipment.
Installation
Use these units to protect signal,
data, control and instrumentation
systems with LSA-PLUS
disconnection modules.
Application
Having pushed the ESP KE10 earth bar on
to the disconnection modules’ earth points,
firmly push an ESP KS06 (or ESP KS15,
ESP KS30 or ESP KS50) into each line/pair
requiring protection
