Surge protection for signal circuits of the MCR
technology
TERMITRAB complete
© PHOENIX CONTACT
Technical Note
The TERMITRABcomplete product range offers surge
protection solutions for signal circuits in measurement and
control technology. The protective elements are
characterized by their narrow design.
In the event of an overload, a mechanical status indicator
indicates the disconnection of a protective element. The
status indicator operates without additional auxiliary power.
The protective elements can be integrated into existing
remote signaling concepts. Remote signaling modules are
available for this. The protective elements are monitored
visually. If a protective element is disconnected in the event
of an overload, the disconnect device closes the monitoring
channel. Group remote signaling is triggered. The status is
indicated on the faulty device.
Pluggable protective devices and products with disconnect
knives enable easy testing.
The CHECKMASTER2 from Phoenix Contact performs a
test sequence for the protective plugs and documents the
results.
TERMITRABcomplete is available with screw connection
and Push-in connection technology. Further product
features round off the surge protection system.
Make sure you always use the latest documentation.

Combine various circuits and features according to the
relevant requirements.
5.1 Pluggability and testing
Pluggable and testable products are indicated with the letter
“P” in the order key.
Surge protection products are designed for use over a long
period of time. When used as intended within the specified
parameter ranges, the service life of the products can run
into many years. During this time, the surge protection
processes a large number of transient overvoltages. The
end device is protected effectively.
However, in the event of intensive overload the quality of
protection may decrease. By testing, you can determine
whether protection is sufficiently effective, or whether
protective devices are already impaired. These tests and
their documentation are a mandatory requirement in some
areas of industry.
TERMITRABcomplete offers two-piece, pluggable
protective devices. They enable protective plugs to be easily
removed from the base element.
The plug can be tested with the CHECKMASTER2 from
Phoenix Contact. To this end, a barcode is printed on the
plug. The scanner on the CHECKMASTER2 automatically
identifies the corresponding product when the data is read
in. The corresponding template is loaded so that the
CHECKMASTER2 can compare the target and actual
parameter ranges of the protective elements.
If the tested plug is no longer within the intended range,
replacement is recommended. Replacement plugs are
available from Phoenix Contact for such a case.
The order number on the base element is valid for the
complete item comprising the base element and plug. The
order number for the plug is intended for reordering
replacement items.
When plugged in, a snap-in lever prevents the plug from
moving even in the event of strong vibrations. A mechanical
coding system ensures that only matching plugs and base
elements can be connected together.
Insertion and removal is impedance-neutral, which means
that signals are not interrupted during maintenance work
and testing. The cables connected to the base element
remain fixed in the installation.
Figure 1 TERMITRABcomplete, pluggable
5.2 Indirect grounding (floating)
Products with indirect grounding are indicated with the letter
“F” in the order key.
In scenarios where direct grounding of the third terminal
level (terminal blocks 3 - 6) is not desirable, versions with an
additional gas discharge tube for the DIN rail are used.
Example: a common reference potential (common return
conductor) is led via the third terminal level, however this
must not have a ground connection to the surge protection.
An additional gas discharge tube is useful in such a case
Figure 2 Indirect grounding
5.3 Knife disconnection
Products with knife disconnection are indicated with the
letter “M” in the order key.
Disconnect terminal blocks are frequently used in sensor/
actuator cabling. These disconnect terminal blocks are
installed between the modules for measurement and control
technology and the cables led into the field. The disconnect
terminal blocks can be used to interrupt signal circuits in
order to conduct measurements in the field.
The disconnection option can be used on the top two
terminal levels. Isolator1 opens and closes the signal on the
field side directly at terminal point1. Isolator2 opens and
closes accordingly directly at terminal point2.
For example, insulation measurements can be carried out
on the cables without the surge protection components
distorting the test results.
The dielectric strength of the knife disconnection is 2.5kV
(1.2/50µs).

When open (unscrewed), the function screw of the knife
disconnection is 7mm above the upper edge of the housing.
In order to minimize contamination of the switching contacts
in harsh and dusty ambient conditions, the knife
disconnection has an encapsulated design.
Figure 3 Knife disconnection opened
5.4 Status indicator and remote signaling set
Products with status indicator are indicated with the letter “I”
in the order key.
Status indicators and remote signaling are playing an
increasingly important role in large technical systems.
As soon as a fine protection element becomes thermally
overloaded, the overload protection disconnects the
affected component. A mechanical indicator on the device
clearly indicates that it has been disconnected. The signal
remains unaffected by the disconnection. The dielectric
strength of the system is still protected by the coarse
protection in the device. Replace the device.
Fault indication in the respective surge protective device
does not require a supply voltage.
If you also need the state to be signaled remotely, use the
remote signaling set (FMRS) in addition. The set consists of
a visual transmission module and receiver module.
Connect each of these modules to a 10VDC...36VDC
supply voltage.
The transmission module is designed to be placed to the left
of the block. At the opposite end, the receiver module
detects a visual signal that passes through all the surge
protective devices. In the event that a fault indicator is
triggered, this visual signal is interrupted. It activates the
signal contact (normally closed) after a delay time of
5seconds has elapsed. This means that brief interruptions
in the optical beam do not cause the signaling relay to
switch.
The function signaling modules independently return to
“OK” mode when the faulty surge protection module is
replaced.
The receiver module includes a relay contact. This opens as
soon as a faulty surge protective device is detected. The
relay contact is floating. It is suitable for connection in a
higher-level alarm system.
Monitor up to 40 neighboring surge protection products with
one remote signaling set.

6 Connection and operation
6.1 Safety instructions
The installation and startup of this device may only be
performed by an authorized (electrically) skilled person. The
relevant country-specific regulations must be observed.
6.2 Installation and connection
TERMITRABcomplete is designed for mounting on NS 35
DIN rails according to EN 60715.
To protect the device against mechanical or electrical
damage, install it in a suitable housing with appropriate
degree of protection as per IEC60529.
Connecting cables
"Unprotected" and "protected" indicate the direction for
installation of the protection modules.
•Connect the device upstream of the signal input to be
protected. The imprint "unprotected" must point in the
direction of the expected surge voltage. This is the
direction of the incoming field cable.
•Connect the cables from the direction of the equipment
to be protected to the terminal blocks marked
"protected".
•Do not lay protected and unprotected cables directly
next to each other over longer distances. This prevents
surge voltages from being coupled into protected
cables. Equipotential bonding lines are also considered
unprotected cables.

Figure 6 Version with Push-in connection
Grounding
The device shows a current carrying capacity connection to
the DIN rail.
Establish an electrical connection between DIN rail and
ground potential. In this way transient overvoltage between
signal wires and the ground are limited.
Products in core-core mode do not have a conductive
connection to the DIN rail. These products are indicated with
the letter “D” in the order key.
Knife disconnection
Only for products with knife disconnection, which are
indicated with the letter “M” in the order key.
To operate the disconnect knife, use a suitable bladed
screwdriver of the size 0.6x3.5mm.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock and fire
Check the device for external damage. If the
device is defective, it must not be used.
Ensure that the system's maximum operating
voltage does not exceed the highest
continuous Ucvoltage.
Ensure that the maximum nominal current IN
of the overvoltage protection device is not
exceeded during operation or in the event of a
fault.
Observe the necessary safety precautions
when handling components that are
vulnerable to electrostatic discharge
(EN61340-5-1 and IEC61340-5-1).
