MTL IOP range

Cost effective surge protection
for digital and analogue I/O
• IOP32D and IOP-AC each provide surge
protection for two loops or 4 wires
• IOP32 provides surge protection for one loop
or 2 wires
• IOP HC32 provides surge protection for one
high current loop, up to 5A
• IOP-AC provides surge protections for two
120V or 240V AC loops
• Hybrid protection circuit - 20kA rated
surge current
• ATEX & FM certification for IOP32 and IOP32D
• Space saving - width per loop:
IOP32D & IOP-AC 6mm
IOP32 & IOP HC32 12mm

The IOP was conceived to offer protection for both digital I/O and The versatile design minimizes space. The IOP32D and IOP-AC

solution for I/O offered by Eaton. High packing-density, high protection 12mm wide. The effective space taken, per loop, is therefore only
level and low price combine to make the IOP a value solution. 6mm. For customers desiring single channel integrity, the IOP32 fits
this need exactly.
The IOP range is cost-effective and still retains a hybrid circuit
comprising 20kA gas discharge tubes and solid state components. One simple manual operation clamps modules securely onto DIN
This impressive product is designed to exhibit exceptionally low line rail, which automatically provides the essential high-integrity ground
resistance and therefore adds only a tiny voltage drop to the circuit. connection.
Removable terminals are used on the IOP range for ease of A 10 Year ‘No Fuss’ warranty is available, as standard, for the IOP, so

‘Top-hat’ (T-section) DIN rail is generally suitable for mounting IOP
The IOP HC32 is ideal for applications requiring up to 5A of modules although for adverse environments, a specially-plated version

AC circuit loops
Fully automatic in operation, IOP devices react immediately to make
sure that equipment is never exposed to damaging surges between
lines or the lines and ground. Reacting instantaneously, the IOP
redirects surges safely to ground and then resets automatically.
