You Need The TS-1D!

The TS-1D is a transient suppression module, which shunts high energy, high frequency signals to
system ground while passing, unaffected, full spectrum audio signals. The TS-1D incorporates the latest
in surface-mount, solid-state (no gas tube) technology to bring you an effective and economical solution
for dealing with transients.

APPLICATION: The TS-1D is intended to protect audio input and output circuits from the effects of
transients induced on the audio lines. Single or multiple TS-1Ds are typically mounted to good earth
ground at the location that audio lines enter or exit an equipment rack. This protects wiring inside the rack
against the effects of induced electrostatic discharge (ESD), transients, and RF interference. The TS-1D
integrates classical inductance, capacitance and resistance (LCR) filter techniques with hi-speed, solid­state switching to suppress frequency (time) related interference signals. These are configured to form a
brick wall to signals above 1 MHz (250 ns rise time). A transient voltage above the nominal operating
level of 40 Vpeak will cause the circuit switch to close, shunting the transient current to ground while the
transient power is dissipated harmlessly by high-voltage resistors. The switching time is about 450 ps.

The TS-1D contains four independent circuits. It may be used to protect four single-ended (unbalanced)
lines or two balanced lines.

The TS-1D must be connected to a low-impedance ground system to operate properly. A ¼ inch (6.3 mm)
ground bus with .144 inch (3.7 mm) holes is provided on the bottom of the TS-1D to facilitate mounting.
The use of RDL’s GB6 ground bar can accommodate multiple unit installation. The GB6 provides space
for mounting six TS-1Ds and provides a low-impedance path to your ground system.

The TS-1D suppresses signals specified by IEC1000-4-2 levels 1 through 3, electrostatic discharge
immunity; IEC1000-4-3 levels 1 through 3, radiated radio frequency electromagnetic field immunity; and
IEC1000-4-4 levels 1 through 4, electrical fast transient/burst immunity.
