The Copper Ethernet provides 1.5 kV isolation and includes ESD suppression on board.
All optional output cards feature at least 3 kV isolation from earth and have ESD suppression suitable for the interface
type.
The power supply isolation varies from 1.6 kV for Low and Medium power supplies to 3 kV for the High power supply.
In addition, a varistor protects the power supply against transverse voltages and transient suppressor diodes protect
the internal electronics from longitudinal events.

Installation
Identification
Each PTP Translator unit is shipped with an identification label on the side of the case. The label provides details of
the optional output (if any) and power supply fitted to the unit as well as the serial number and firmware revision.
Check the identification label on the side of the unit to ensure that the correct output and voltage has
been supplied before proceeding to install.
The label on the side of PTP Translator contains the voltage range: Do not apply power outside of this
range!
Mounting the PTP Translator
The PTP Translator is designed to be mounted to a standard din rail mount using the supplied clips on the base (See
Figure 2). The clips can also be used to screw mount the unit by extending them beyond the case edge.

Connecting the PTP Translator
The PTP Translator has a RJ45/ 100Base FX connector and ST Fiber output on the top and a row of rising clamp
screw terminals on the bottom. Any connection not required may be left unterminated. The screw terminals are
designed for the following cables;
• 0.2-4.0mm² (30-12AWG) solid cable
• 0.2-2.5mm² (30-12AWG) stranded cable
The Fiber PTP Translator has a dual ST Fiber connector for the Ethernet and is labeled ETH on the case whereas the
IRIG-B fiber out is simply labeled TX.
