HAGNER OVP-02 Overvoltage Protection
The Hagner OVP-02 Overvoltage Protection has been designed to give extra protection to the Hagner TLS-420
Tunnel Photometers which are mounted in areas where there are risks from over voltage and/or transients,
caused by an unstable power supply or lightning strikes in the surroundings.
There are some areas where the Hagner Tunnel Entrance Photometers are at risk from over voltage and/or
transients on the power net and transients on the signal cable, which may be caused by an unstable power
supply or lightning strikes in the surrounding area. Both incidents can, if they are powerful, damage the
electronics in a Photometer. (The instruments are provided with VDRs but these give only a very limited
protection.)
It is therefore recommended that Photometers mounted in such areas are connected to over voltage protection,
i.e. Hagner OVP-02, which will greatly reduce the risk for damage.
Please note that 100% protection can never be guaranteed.

1) Hagner Model OVP-02 Overvoltage Protection
OVP-02 consists of a water proof plastic housing (IP67) containing an over voltage protection for the input side
(Weidmüller PU DS 230V/16A) and an over voltage protection for the output side (Weidmüller MCZ OVP CL
24VDC 0.5A). The housing should be mounted as close to the tunnel photometer as possible to minimize
unprotected stretches of cable. (A separate OVP-02 can be used for protecting a PLC used together with the
photometer.)
The input protection is provided with a light diode, emitting green light as long as the protection is functioning
and undamaged, and an output which for instance can be connected to a PLC to indicate if the protection has
been exposed to over voltage or a transient. The protection should always be exchanged after it has been
exposed.
The output protection will stop minor transients and reset to stand-by position. Major transients will normally be
stopped but will damage the protection, which in turn causes the output signal to fall to 0 mA. The protection
must then be exchanged.
