TP48 Series
Safeguards electronic process transmitters against induced surges and transients from field cabling
Protects 2, 3 and 4 wire transmitters
• Easy and direct mounting — screws into spare conduit entry
• Intrinsically safe and flameproof to CENELEC standards
• Parallel connection avoids introduction of any resistance into loop
• ATEX approved
• 10 year product warranty

Electrical safety
EEx ia IIC T4, Ceq=O, Leq=0; the unit
can be connected without further
certification into any intrinsically safe
loop with open circuit voltage <60V and
input power <1.2W.
EEx d IIC T4; the unit is apparatus
approved to flameproof (explosionproof)
standards, and can be fitted into a
similarly approved housing.
