ISOLATION AND PROTECTION

All inputs and outputs feature 2.5 kV isolation from earth and 5 kV isolation from each other. In

addition, the logic level outputs (

P2

and

P3

) are each protected against damage from transverse

voltage events via a three-stage network of varistor, auto-resetting fuse, and transient
suppressor diode.
