Protection Board (for encoders)
Encoders can and do fail in the field! Static and physical damage can put them out – shutting you down! The Protection Board offers “insurance” that you’ll keep on going into the early morning. It includes full static protection for the encoders as well as the serial line, resetable fusing for the DSC power as well as a connection for the handpad. This board can be bought for encoder only protection.
