Transient Protection Devices
Each sensor input in the logger has a varistor (VDR) protection against
induced transients. The maintenance terminal I/O ports have transzorb
diodes in their inputs.
In case of long signal cables, additional transient protectors can be
installed on the DIN rail. These surge protectors consist of a
combination of VDR, transzorb diodes, and coils, thus providing
excellent protection. These are easy to change in the field without tools.
