The TS-1 Dial Line Transient Suppressor provides transient voltage surge suppression for
equipment connected to a dial telephone line with standard RJ-13 or RJ-11 connectors.
The high quality die cast aluminum enclosure houses a passive, three-stage protection
device designed to conduct destructive energy safely to ground.
Both pairs in the RJ-13 standard configuration are afforded protection, while allowing the
normal ring voltage, and voice or data to pass unimpeded. Studio or transmitter audio
equipment connected to a two-pair dedicated stereo telco circuit may also be protected
with the TS-1.
The TS-1 must be connected to an adequate station ground to provide a path for
destructive energy to be shunted away from the protected equipment. Ideally, the TS-1
should be mounted on the copper strap directly connected to station ground. The integral
clamping system on the TS-1 affords easy mounting on strap up to four inches wide and
ensures a low-impedance path to ground. Alternatively, the TS-1 may be connected to earth
ground using the ground lug on the side of the enclosure.
INSTALLATION
Position the TS-1 near the telco service entry. In the event of a catastrophic lightning strike
to the phone line, this location prevents destructive energy from entering the facility.
Installation of the TS-1 is straightforward:
1. The preferred mounting scheme is to secure the
TS-1 to the station ground bus. First, remove the
machine screws from the TS-1. Beneath the
aluminum enclosure, you will find a thin
stainless steel shim on top of the stainless
steel backing plate. Clamp the ground bus
between the backing plate and shim, as
illustrated. Then attach the aluminum
enclosure so that it is flush with the stainless
steel shim and not touching the ground bus.
Secure the TS-1 by tightening the machine
screws (Phillips #8 x ½”).

GETTING HELP
The Burk TS-1 is designed to protect indefinitely against multiple surges.
If a catastrophic
strike disables the TS-1, the device breaks the line circuit so there is no loss of protection.
Therefore, if an otherwise functional telephone line is inoperative when connected to the
TS-1, the unit may need factory repair.
