SurgeX Surge Protector/Supressor Squid AM-SX-DC-8-1224-230 — DC protection for 8 lines, 12–24 V, 230 V compatibility

SurgeX Surge Protector/Supressor Squid AM-SX-DC-8-1224-230 is a compact DC surge protection module engineered to protect eight DC lines in low-voltage systems. Intended for 12–24 V DC applications, the device offers transient suppression designed to safeguard sensitive electronics from voltage spikes and switching transients. Its design allows integration in installations that operate alongside 230 V AC infrastructure while focusing on line-level DC protection for industrial control equipment, telecommunications, security systems, and audiovisual devices.

Advantages

The unit provides multi-line protection in a single compact module, minimizing wiring complexity and rack or cabinet space. It responds quickly to transient events to limit overvoltage exposure to connected equipment and helps reduce downtime and component damage. The module is designed for compatibility with common 12–24 V DC systems and intended for environments where 230 V AC is present, enabling flexible installation options. Built with robust suppression components, it supports reliable operation in continuous-use applications.

Suitable for

• Industrial control panels and PLC power distribution
• Telecommunications and network equipment power lines
• Security and access control systems
• AV installations and signal-powered devices
• Remote power distribution in cabinets and enclosures

Key specifications

• Protection channels: 8 DC lines
• Nominal DC voltage range: 12–24 V
• Compatibility: designed for use in installations with 230 V AC infrastructure
• Form factor: compact module suitable for cabinet or rack mounting
• Transient suppression: multi-line surge protection for line-level transients

How to use

Install the SurgeX Squid module inline with the DC distribution lines you wish to protect, following standard wiring practices and safety procedures. Connect each protected DC line to the corresponding input and output terminals according to the installation diagram provided by the manufacturer, and ensure proper grounding of the protective device to the system earth. Verify the nominal system voltage is within the 12–24 V DC range before energizing the circuit. After installation, power up the system and confirm normal operation of protected equipment and status indicators where available.

Recommendations

Place the module close to the distribution point or protected equipment to minimize unprotected cable length. Maintain proper earthing and periodic visual inspection of connections; replace the module if it shows signs of damage or evident surge event stress. Use within specified voltage ranges and in accordance with applicable electrical codes and manufacturer installation guidelines to ensure effective protection.
