ACT 1313-Plus Advanced 12V Spike Suppressor
The ACT 1313-Plus Advanced 12V Spike Suppressor protects alarm control equipment and powered detection devices connected to 12V DC circuits. It eliminates induced AC from connected DC power cables and attenuates RFI by up to 60dB, helping to prevent false alarms caused by electrical interference. It also clamps 12VDC supply spikes before they reach the control panel, alarm detectors and plug-on communicators.
A bi-colour LED makes fault finding easier by immediately indicating a potential DC power overload or low resistance fault on a connected cable. The LED shows green when it detects no faults and red when it detects a fault. If the red LED lights, disconnect the connected DC power cables one at a time to help identify the troublesome circuit.
Install the ACT 1313-Plus Advanced 12V Spike Suppressor directly between the control panel or PSU auxiliary 12VDC supply and the powered detection devices. Twin terminal blocks with two Red+ and two Black- connections make it easier to group and connect power cables, while the green connection connects to mains Earth. Fit one unit at the control panel and each PSU to provide spike suppression, interference reduction and DC cable fault indication, with a maximum rating of 1.5A at 12VDC.
Key Benefits
- Helps prevent false alarms caused by induced AC and radio frequency interference on DC power cables.
- Attenuates RFI by up to 60dB on connected DC power circuits.
- Clamps spikes on the 12VDC supply before they reach connected alarm equipment.
- Bi-colour LED indication makes potential overload and low resistance cable faults easier to identify.
- Green and red status indications provide a quick visual check of connected DC power circuits.
- Supports straightforward fault finding by allowing connected cables to be disconnected individually when a fault is shown.
- Twin terminal blocks help group multiple power cables and simplify connection at the control panel or PSU.
- Suitable for use with motion detectors and other powered 12V detection devices.
- One unit can be fitted to the control panel and to each PSU within the installation.
