The DA-12, has diode protection on their inputs. When used in conjunction with an

outdoor camera or cable runs that run between buildings it is recommended that a

lightning protection device be added to the cable. If lightning strikes in the area and

causes a large enough voltage spike in the video feed cable, the input diode(s) will

sacrifice themselves causing the unit to fail. If the spike is large enough the input video

amplifier will be destroyed in addition to the diodes failing. These failures are not covered

under warranty. This unit is designed to act as a protector for the input stage of your re-

cording device, but will only offer a limited amount of protection. Installation of a lightning

arrestor will greatly reduce any probability of failure of these units.

Use a seperate 12VDC @ 300 to 800ma power pack instead of an AC power source

for optimum operation.

SURGE PROTECTION

This device has each input equipped with a surge

protection device. In order to provide maximum

effectiveness, you must connect the ground screw

located on the rear by the power connector to an

electrical ground or a cold water pipe ground.
THIS IS NOT A LIGHTNING ARRESTOR. IT IS

ONLY RATED FOR +/- 15 KV AIR AND +/- 8 KV

CONTACT.

There are now several cameras on the market that do not have power isolation

transformers in their power inputs. This can cause a serious problem with the DA-12

when a common AC transformer is used. If there is any doubt as to if you camera has this

problem, please DO NOT use the same power pack for the camera and the DA-12. For

any questions about the camera please contact your supplier. For any questions about

the DA-12, please contact us at 845-737-7009 between the hours of 9AM and 5PM EST.

Due to changes in technology it is recommended that this unit be provided with no more

then 12-18V AC or 12-18V DC where 12-18V DC is preferred
