Protection:
If a bus line is installed between buildings, a
lightning current arrester BLITZDUCTOR®
CT Type B (LPZ 0A/1) or BLITZDUCTOR® CT
Type B ... (LPZ 0A/2) has to be installed at
the service entrance and connected with
each pair of lines. According to the system,
the internal measuring and control units
are protected by different SPDs.
For example, EIB bus couplers are furnished
with BUStectors instead of normal bus
terminals (LPZ 1/2).
Please see also standard interface 6 on page 18.

Alarm systems
Control boards of alarm systems combine all
signals of the connected fire and burglar
alarm systems. Many detectors, which are
widely spread over complex installations are
interconnected. The control board releases the
alarm when one of the detectors is activated.
Protection:
For protecting the control board and the
detectors, combined lightning current and
surge arresters BLITZDUCTOR® CT Type
BE are installed at each service entrance.
As the “combined SPD” controls lightning
currents and surges, a direct transition from
LPZ 0A to 2 is possible with only one SPD.
BLITZDUCTOR® CT is also suitable for pro-
tecting the signal lines. If the control
board is equipped with an automatic dialling
system for calling via a direct exchange
line, this must also be protected.

Protection:
Where a bus line enters the building, one
lightning current arrester e.g. BLITZ-

DUCTOR CT BD HF 5 (LPZ 0A/2) has to be
installed per pair of lines. Shield earthing at
low impedance directly at the protective
device is recommended. For fine protection
of PROFIBUS-DP devices, surge protective
adapter FS 9E PB 6 (LPZ 2/3) is simply
plugged in.
Please see also standard interface 1 on page 17.

Sensor-Actuator interface
Correct processing requires a lot of infor-
mation and a number of actions. The sen-
sors record process data and the actuators
control the process.
Protection:
Just as the sensitive control units, also the
production lines are divided into lightning
protection zones. Suitable protective devices
at the zone boundaries (LPZ 1 to 2) limit
upcoming surges. For protecting multi-core
cables, DEHNconnect RK surge protective
terminal blocks are especially suitable.
AS interface, for example, requires an espe-
cially adapted surge protection module.

cable length.
Protection:
As weighing systems are located outdoors,
they are exposed to direct lightning strokes.
The load cells as well as the measuring
sensors should be protected by lightning
current proof SPDs Type BLITZDUCTOR®
(LPZ 0A/2). In order to attenuate electro-
magnetic interferences, a low-impedant
shield connection for multi-core lines is
employed.
Please see also standard interface 12 on page 21.

Intrinsically safe circuits

Intrinsical safety as type of protection is
based on power limitation in a measuring
circuit. The measured values are often trans-
mitted as injected currents. Additionally,
remote supply for the measuring sensors
can be performed via the signal lines.
Protection:
In the process engineering industry, very
good equipotential bonding is provided bet-
ween the individual installations (LPZ 1/2).
Surge arresters e.g. BLITZDUCTOR® MD
EX, are therefore designed to provide pro-
tection of equipment not directly exposed
to lightning. In addition, the self-inductance
and -capacitance of the ATEX-certified SPD
may be neglected for laying the measuring
circuit.
Because of its design in accordance with
FISCO, it can also be used in intrinsically
safe bus circuits without problem.
