Surge Protector offers snap-in modular design.
Press Release Summary:
Smart Module ensures sensitive electronic equipment is protected from harmful or catastrophic electrical surges. It absorbs arcs quickly and allows minimal energy from arc to flow through module. Once used, indicator light informs technician that module needs to be replaced (without tools). Smart Module is 2.1 x 1.6 x 1.0 in. with fire retardant housing and gold plated contacts. Seven different voltages are available ranging from 5 to 110 V.

New "Smart Module" Surge Protectors from DITEK: Snap-In Modular Design and At-a-Glance Reliability Reduce Installation Time, Service Calls, Trouble Shooting and System Downtime
For security, life safety and all low voltage applications, this module gives service providers and contract installers effective protection and monitoring while minimizing costly service calls
DITEK, a leading manufacturer of commercial, industrial, and residential surge protection products, has recently introduced its "Smart Module" for low voltage uses, which not only allows for snap-in, non-hard-wiring installation, but also lets service technicians and end consumers know at a glance that it is working. When the unit has sacrificed itself to protect the devices its hooked to, an indicator light will engage to inform technicians that the module needs to be replaced with no tools or test equipment required. The only surge protection device of its kind on the market, DITEK's "Smart Module" is gaining significant popularity with systems installers and service providers of security, life safety and all low voltage applications.
Adequate surge protection equipment is absolutely essential whenever damage or destruction of sensitive electronic equipment is a possibility, and particularly when fire alarm and security circuitry is at stake. The surge protection equipment has to be reliable, effective, and easy to replace. The DITEK "Smart Module" ensures sensitive electronic equipment is always protected from harmful or even catastrophic electrical surges.
The "Smart Module" is extremely easy to remove and replace. Simply pull out the old module and plug in the replacement module. Only DITEK offers this unique, time-saving feature. The module can be replaced as quickly as possible without the need for time-consuming troubleshooting or testing. Most importantly, the plug-in module design reduces the chance of incorrect wiring or loose wiring. This greatly minimizes the need for costly service calls. The end-user can be completely confident that the module is properly connected and doing its job, even if he opts to replace it himself.
The module offers maximum protection for electronic equipment with its minimal arc circuitry. It is designed to absorb arcs very quickly and allow minimal energy from the arc to flow through the module, practically eliminating the arc's damage potential. The module quickly detects an arc and greatly reduces the arc energy to a minute amount before the arc can get through the module to electronic equipment.
The "Smart Module" offers a valuable reset feature: When a spike
occurs, the module quickly responds to the surge in less than 1
nanosecond. Once the energy is dissipated to ground, the module
quickly resets itself and continues to protect sensitive electronic equipment from any subsequent surges. This means that equipment is constantly protected regardless of the circumstances.
DITEK offers a lifetime warranty on every product they make, including the "Smart Module". If the unit's light indicates a failed circuit, simply remove the old module, plug in a new one, and return the old module to the supplier it came from for prompt replacement.
DITEK "Smart Modules" are available in one small size (2.1 in x 1.6 in x1.0 in), so they don't take up a lot of space. Each module is lightweight (18.0 grams) and has a fire retardant housing. They are available in seven different voltages, ranging from 5 volts to 110 volts. Additionally, "Smart Modules" are designed with gold plated contacts to ensure maximum reliability.
