Lightning Surge Protectors for
Electronics Equipment M-RESTER
LIGHTNING SURGE PROTECTOR FOR
STANDARD SIGNAL LINE & PULSE USE
(conduit mount, weather-proof, 24 V DC line voltage)
Functions & Features
• Designed specifically for 4 – 20 mA DC and
pulse signal line including both 4-wire and 2-wire transmitters
• Direct mount in a wiring conduit of outdoor enclosures
• Absorbs surges only without affecting instrumentation signal
MODEL: MD6T–24–[1][2][3]
ORDERING INFORMATION

Line to ground: ≤ 5 μA @ ±160 V DC
Discharge current capacity:
10000 A (8/ 20 μsec.)
Max. load current
: 100 mA
Internal series resistance
: Approx. 22 Ω including return
Max. line voltage
Without safety approval: 30 V DC
With safety approval: 28 V DC
Capacitance @ 1 kHz
