Lightning and surge protection for control and instrumentation signals
Binary signals
Two-wire, usually with
common reference
potential, e.g. signals from
binary sensors, actuators
and indicators such as limit
switches, probes, position
sensors, photoelectric
barriers, contactors,
solenoid valves,
warning lamps.
Analogue signals
Two-, three- and four-wire
versions without common
reference potential.
Signals from current loops
(analogue measurements
from sensors over long
distances), 4...20 mA,
0...20 mA, etc., e.g. level
measurements.
Signals from voltage sensors
(analogue measurements
from sensors over short
distances), 0...10 V,
PT100, etc., e.g.
t
emperature measurements.
Protection for binary
signals connected to earth
pot
ential.

Essential information for users can be found in the IEC 61643-22 standard (application standard for measurement and
control signals) and in the IEC 62305-4 standard (application standard for installing internal lightning protection).
It is important to determine which protection category is required. There are divisions for D1 (lightning protection), C2 (surge
protection / overvoltage protection) and C1 (end device protection). These categories or classes are specied for the
following products. All products were subjected to a test in accordance with product standard IEC 61643-21.
