MDP-TC

Lightning Surge Protectors for
Electronics Equipment M-RESTER

LIGHTNING SURGE PROTECTOR FOR
THERMOCOUPLE USE

Functions & Features
• Designed specifically for thermocouple circuits
• Absorbs lightning surges entering the temperature transmitter or controller through the thermocouple and/or thermocouple extension wire
• Absorbs surges only without affecting instrumentation signal
• No interruption of signal by unplugging the protector element
