Features Lightning Protection

• The isolation of circuit sections minimises electronic
component failure
• Cap is unscrewed to access the fuses, the O-Ring Seal
provides a waterproof capsule.
• Lighting protection models incorporate lightning arresters on
the input and outputs wires.
• All wires are 0.91 m 14 AWG UF/TWU for direct burial and
to allow the assembly to be brought above grade when
troubleshooting and accessing the fuses.
• Standard 20-amp Mini Automotive fuses act as circuit
switches when inserted (closed/on) or removed (open/off)
• Provides lightning protection
when the electrical surges
exceed 20-amp.
• For more sensitive circuit
during a lightning strike,
5-amp fuses are included
on the lightning protection
models.

Decoder Cable Fuse Device Installation

Decoder Cable Fuse Devices should be strategically installed at
the points where cables split in different directions and in long
straight wire sections to isolate it in half for troubleshooting.
The typical Installation below shows locations where you would
undo the splices when troubleshooting. The electrical circuit
should be looked at as if it was a hydraulic system and the
DCFDs are isolation valves.
