The Rice Lake LCP-1 DC Transient Protector is an economical and reliable surge protection device designed to safeguard strain gauge transducers, load cells, and serial communication systems from damaging voltage transients and electrical surges. Ideal for industrial weighing systems, truck scales, tank scales, hopper scales, and process control applications, the LCP-1 helps protect sensitive electronic equipment from lightning-induced surges, electrical noise, and power disturbances that can cause equipment failure and costly downtime.
Designed for both indoor and outdoor installations, the LCP-1 utilizes a four-channel series protection system with a separate shield to provide effective protection for strain gauge transducers and RS-232 serial data lines. Its fast response time and high surge-handling capability help divert harmful transient energy away from connected equipment while maintaining signal integrity and system performance.
The encapsulated internal circuitry provides excellent resistance against moisture, fungus, and corrosion, helping ensure long-term reliability in harsh industrial environments. The enclosure is constructed from chemically resistant PVC and includes two nylon strain-relief fittings that accommodate cable diameters from 0.187 to 0.312 inches, providing secure cable management and protection.
For easy installation, the LCP-1 includes a 20-foot insulated #10 AWG grounding wire and grounding lug, allowing proper grounding for maximum surge protection performance. Its compact design enables installation close to load cells, junction boxes, or communication devices, helping minimize exposure to transient events and ensuring reliable operation in demanding applications.
Whether protecting industrial scales, load cell systems, transducers, or serial communication equipment, the Rice Lake LCP-1 delivers dependable transient protection that helps extend equipment life, reduce maintenance costs, and improve system reliability.
