THE WORLD’S NARROWEST
SURGE PROTECTION FOR SIGNAL APPLICATIONS
Starting from 3.5mm wide, Termitrab
complete is the world’s narrowest
surge protection solution for all
applications in measurement
and control technology. The new
product range provides you with
a complete system kit, featuring a
status indicator and optional remote
signalling.
A wide variety of signals are
transmitted using measurement and
control technology. This requires an
increasingly large packing density.
The new Termitrab complete product
range provides surge protection
starting at an overall width of
3.5mm. This represents a space
saving of up to 50% in comparison
with 7mm installations. This means
that the protective devices can
protect up to 572 signals against
surge voltages on just one metre of
DIN rail. This is made possible by
the innovative Push-in connection
technology and the use of particularly
flat components.
The protective devices with an
overall width of 6mm also offer
an unprecedented range of circuit
versions and product features.
Termitrab complete increases the
availability of your system and substantially
reduces required space.
Termitrab complete provides visual
and electrical signalling right at the
protective device. The integrated
disconnect feature, ensures that the
surge protection solution behaves
safely in the event of an overload. It
signals the status on each individual
protective device mechanically and
visually without auxiliary power.
Optional transmit and receiver
signalling modules monitor the
status of up to 40 neighbouring
surge protective devices by means
of a photoelectric beam. Installation
is simplified as a result: no additional
wiring or programming is required for
the protection modules. The remote
signalling sets have Push-in or screw
connection. In the event of a thermal
overload, the remote signalling
modules notify the control room, for
example, of the status in the form
of a group message via a floating
contact. The advantage in this is that
you are always notified of the status
of your surge protection system
and can quickly replace overloaded
protective devices.
Termitrab can be field tested, provide
local signalling, and optional remote
signalling and can be selected
according to your specific requirements
thanks to the tailor-made
product range. The surge protective
devices are available with push-in
connection technology as well as
screw connection. Versions are also
available with innovative knife disconnection
and for Ex applications.
Choose from simple, ultra-narrow
protective devices, products with
testable protective plugs, signalling,
optional remote signaling modules
and more. Termitrab complete
offers over 100 products with
different circuit and voltage versions.
Various connection technologies
and product features round off the
portfolio. This variety provides you
with a solution for almost all signal
technology applications.
Water/wastewater and the process
industry expect a high degree
of availability. In this respect,
automated processes with modern
signal applications are basic
components whose proper function
must always be ensured. With individualised
solutions, state-of-the art
surge protection makes a significant
contribution to meeting this demand.
In process technology for example,
transient over-voltages are often
directly coupled into the copper
lines (eg when lightning strikes in
the vicinity). They cause defects
in electronic signalling systems
in process technology systems.
This can lead to a costly system
shutdown. Termitrab complete
offers solutions for protecting your
system from damage due to surge
voltages. This ensures that your
system is in stable condition over
the long term. It also offers a wide
variety of auxiliary functions that
increase maintenance convenience
in large process systems. Integrated
disconnect knives let users
disconnect the control system
from the field cable. This makes
maintenance work and measurements
easy. The product range
contains products that may be
installed in Ex areas up to Ex zone 1
with IECEX and ATEX approval.
