UL294A compliant installation requires UL497B-Listed Surge arrestors be installed on all data lines connected to Computer Ac-
cessory Equipment. On the downstream side, Ground Loop currents are limited by the low-capacitance, high-voltage disc capaci-
tor. This connection assures compatibility with nearby Radio-Frequency equipment.
“Ethernet Only” installations may use third-party isolated USB to 485 Convertors connected to the Upstream side of the first Ac-
celaterm panel. Contact Continental Tech Support for latest data.

Note:
Address of the Accelaterm are not required to be consecutive, only that the Bridge Accelaterm be first.
