Configured for signal termination in process control platforms, the Yokogawa ATR8S-10 (ATR8S Terminal Block) provides direct physical/electrical execution of RTD signal connection and surge protection.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model | ATR8S-10 |
| Brand | Yokogawa |
| Origin | Japan |
| Weight | 0.20 kg |
| Dimensions | Standard panel accessory footprint |
| Operating Temp | Standard industrial range |
| Power Consumption | Passive device |
| Function | Pressure clamp RTD termination with surge absorber |
The ATR8S-10 functions as a dedicated hardware component for RTD input interfacing within CENTUM DCS architectures. The module incorporates integrated surge absorber circuits to mitigate transient voltage spikes that could otherwise propagate through field sensor wiring to the sensitive analog input modules. As a passive termination device, it maintains strict signal impedance characteristics required for high-accuracy RTD measurements. Users must verify the integrity of the pressure clamp connections to ensure consistent contact resistance, as deviations in terminal torque can induce measurement errors in sensitive temperature monitoring loops.
Q: Does the surge absorber require periodic testing or replacement?
A: The integrated surge protection is a solid-state or component-based passive assembly. While it does not require active configuration, it should be visually inspected for thermal discoloration or physical damage following any significant lightning or power surge event in the field loop.
Q: Is the pressure clamp terminal compatible with both solid and stranded wire?
A: Yes. The pressure clamp design is engineered for standard industrial gauge wiring. Ensure the wire ends are correctly stripped and, if using stranded wire, consider the use of ferrules to prevent fraying and ensure a secure, low-resistance connection.
