Le suppresseur de surtensions FSPHONE
câblé à deux paires de Siemens est
destiné à la protection d’appareillages
électroniques pour la maison et les petites
applications commerciales connectés
par téléphone, ligne numérique ou
modem. Le FSPHONE protège contre
les surtensions qui peuvent provenir du
raccordement téléphonique principal.
Il comporte une sécurité intégrée qui
met à la terre en permanence la ligne
téléphonique, en cas d’inversion de
polarité. Conçu pour les applications
intérieures, le FSPHONE peut aussi être
installé à l’extérieur, dans un boîtier
étanche.
L’ensemble FSPHONE4X comprend le
suppresseur de surtensions FSPHONE
et un boîtier étanche, afin de faciliter
l’installation à l’intérieur comme à
l’extérieur. Fait de thermoplastique
résistant aux écarts de température et
à l’humidité, le boîtier résiste ainsi au
fendillement et à la décoloration. Son
couvercle peut être fixé à l’aide d’une
attache autobloquante ou d’un dispositif
de blocage semblable.
Pour assurer la sécurité complète d’une
maison, ajoutez le dispositif FirstSurgeTM,
qui protège les circuits d’alimentation c.a.,
ainsi que l’ensemble FSCATV, qui protège
les liaisons par câble coaxial.
