   The rdcLPU is especially designed for use with 
RobustDC's isolated products.  One rdcLPU fully 
protects 2-wire RS-485 or 3-wire RS-232 circuits.  
Built-in self-resetting current limitors both elimi- 
nate the need for external fuses and protects 
from common continous over-voltage faults.

Note the use of rdc485ir3
(Isolated RS-485 Repeaters) to increase
robustness & simplify troubleshooting.
Key features include:
• Up to 20kA impulse discharge (8/20µs wave)
• Self-resetting current limited to 250mA
• Simplifies ground wire installation
