Why Choose a Surge Arrester?

Up to 80% of problems with electronic equipment are directly or indirectly linked to lightning and over-voltage surges.

These surges occur daily, some unnoticed, but inevitably cause damage over time or immediately. Ideco SurgeTek Surge Arresters protect your critical biometric infrastructure by channelling harmful excess voltage into the earth/ground wire, stopping it from reaching your equipment and ensuring a normal voltage supply. This proactive protection prevents costly equipment failures, ensures continuous security, and saves your business from significant repair and replacement expenses.

Solutions in Action

Consider a facility relying on biometric fingerprint readers for access control at multiple entry points:

A sudden electrical storm or grid fluctuation sends a dangerous power surge through the system. Without SurgeTek, these vital readers could be instantly fried, leading to system downtime, security breaches, and expensive replacements. With SurgeTek installed, the surge is safely diverted, protecting the biometric devices and maintaining uninterrupted, secure access

Relevant Installation tips
  • The earth connection is absolutely essential for SurgeTek devices to function correctly.
  • If you are utilising Power over Ethernet (PoE) for your devices, it is strongly recommended to also install inline surge protection specifically on the ethernet port.
