These two sets of com-ponents (gas discharge tubes and transils) are separated by a resistorwhich forces the surge to be first suppressed by the gas dischargetube and the residue will be suppressed by the transil in the properinstallation (“field cables” to “gas discharge connection points” and“electronics to be protected” are connected to “transil connectionpoints”).3-wire, PROFIBUS (up to 12 MHz)Total width 17.7 mmRefer the juxtaposed drawing for example.• Odd numbered connection of PT 1X2+F-BE meant for outer filedcables (both IN and OUT cable wires of field cable)• Even numbered connection of PT 1X2+F-BE meant for repeater/ECLs wires (both IN and OUT cable wires of ECLs / repeaters)“Base part and surge protector data sheets must be referred beforemaking connection”.Cable to next house
