Always know what is going on
PLUGTRAB PT-IQ is the forward-looking surge protection system from Phoenix Contact. Your advantage: multi-stage monitoring of protective devices. This means that a failure can be foreseen.
Your advantages:
- Preventive replacement of arresters with pre-existing damage, thanks to multi-stage display and remote signaling
- Direct installation in Ex zone 2 with protective devices for intrinsically safe circuits up to Ex zone 0
- Fast and error-free installation, thanks to DIN rail connectors and coded plugs
- System can be extended up to 28 protective devices through powerful supply modules
- Easy replacement of protective plugs without interrupting ongoing operation

PLUGTRAB PT-IQ: intelligent surge protection with system
PLUGTRAB PT-IQ is a system comprising a controller and surge protection. The controller supplies the protective devices and provides the group remote signaling for up to 28 protective modules.
A particularly interesting feature is the multi-stage signaling and remote signaling of the protective devices. Each voltage-limiting component of the protective circuit is intelligently monitored.
A yellow status signal indicates that as a result of frequent surge voltages, the performance limit has been reached. The arresters continue to function and your system is still protected. A replacement is, however, recommended in order to avoid unnecessary service operations.
Green: protective device O.K.
Yellow: performance limit reached, replacement recommended
Red: overloaded, replacement required
Install PT-IQ Ex directly in Ex zone 2
Special protection for potentially explosive areas
With PLUGTRAB PT-IQ Ex, surge protective devices are available for the first time with an auxiliary voltage supply for the “intrinsic safety” protection type which can be installed directly in Ex zone 2.
PT-IQ Ex permanently monitors intrinsically safe circuits up to Ex zone 0. Protective devices with pre-existing damage are also directly detected and reported.
Approvals according to ATEX and IECEx enable global use.
Typical fields of application for PT-IQ Ex include:
- Process technology
- Water and wastewater technology
- Energy technology
- Traffic technology and building automation
Different connection methods: screw and push-in connection
Further advantages of the PLUGTRAB PT-IQ product range
- Vibration-resistant installation – the new locking mechanism provides secure fixing even for installations in harsh environments.
- Space-saving installation: up to five signal wires can be protected on a design width of just 17.5 mm
- Energy efficient, as the green LEDs on all protection modules can be switched off centrally at the controller
- Variable connection technology: choose between conventional screw connection or convenient push-in connection technology
