• Multistage hybrid protection circuitry - 10kA maximum surge current
for SD Series, and 20kA maximum surge current for SLP Series
• Range of voltage ratings ideal for process I/O applications
• Designed for high bandwidth, low resistance applications; RTD,
Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) and 3-wire transmitter
versions available in SD Series
• Surge protection for two loops or one 4-wire circuit per
SLP Series module
• 10 year product warranty
MA15 Series
AC & DC Power Protection The SD and SLP Series surge protection devices provide unparalleled

SD Series Surge Protection Devices
The SDs within the junction box should be installed as close as possible to the sensor or transmitter they are protecting,
but no further than one meter away. A bond is required from the general mass of steelwork to the sensor or transmitter
housing, using either a flat short braid or a cable at least 0.16 inch2 (4mm2) cross sectional area. In most instances, this
bond is made automatically by fixing the metallic transmitter housing to the plant structure and ensures the voltage
difference between the signal conductors and the transmitter housing is below the transmitter’s insulation rating.
Please note that the transmitters or sensors are connected to the SD protected equipment terminals, not the field cables.
