BURGLAR ALARM INDUSTRY

The number one cause of false alarms, next to use error, is lightning and poor power quality. Therefore, the best means at your disposal to reduce costly and nuisance false alarms is the incorporation of properly selected and installed TVSS devices on all points of vulnerability.

Those who have just purchased electronic protection systems for their homes and businesses, are at that very moment in the ideal mind set to protect their investment in the system itself. 

They are already in the favorable decision making process of spending money to protect assets and or insure their safety. Know that. Act on this opportunity to improve your relationship with your valued customer, while increasing gross sales and coveting hard to replace Recurring Monthly Revenue (RMR).

As Security Professionals, it is our role to take those who are in fear and impart a sense of comfort. It is also our role to take those who feel comfortable with their level of security and identify room for improvement and possible threats still posed to their assets and loved ones. 

Any wire / conductor, that enters or leaves a building should be considered exposed to such factors as, lightning, dropped or crossed power lines, EMI / RFI interference. Wires / conductors that are contained within a building are most vulnerable to over voltage introduction from steel beam / girders, metal light fixtures, etc. Even as we enter into the world of wireless transmission, you still terminate copper at some point. There in lies inherent exposure. 

These are common applications as to the ideal placement of E CLIPS' Burglar Alarm products:

APPLICATION: 120Vac Power, hard wire. For use in protecting an AC circuit dedicated to Security/Burglar equipment:
Use Model #EC120H

APPLICATION: 12vdc Power, connecting with screw terminals, 12v Programmable Outputs (< more than 150ma operating current: horns, strobes, sirens, etc.)
Use Model #T12-MD Note:  Each T12 protects two pair or four, 12vdc conductors

APPLICATION: 12v Zone Inputs (> less than 150ma operating current: (motions, glass breaks, door contacts, data loops, etc)
Use Model #T12-MDP  Note:  Each T12A protects two pair or four, 12vdc conductors. 

APPLICATION: Dialers, using RJ31X connection method to introduce TVSS (all manufacturers):
Use model #RJ31120-MDP

APPLICATION: Dialers / phone lines using screw terminal connection method to introduce TVSS: 
Use model #T120-MDP depending on max voltage present when a panel is reporting a fire using a dialer.

APPLICATION: 5v Door strikes / contacts, 5v gate control data, 5v LED contacts,  using screw  terminal connection:
Use Model #T05-MD
