Introduction
The Surge Protector 2 is an evolution of the original LORENTZ Surge Protector. The Surge
Protector 2 is compatible with more LORENTZ accessories and is faster to install and
exchange.
The Surge Protector should be installed where any external sensors may be subject to
induced voltages from lightening or other high power sources. The Surge Protector 2 is
installed between the controller and any sensors to reduce the chance of the controller
being damaged from external voltages.
Compatibility
The Surge Protector 2 can be used with any switched, pulse or analogue (4-20 mA) inputs
sensors including
All specifications and information are given with good intent, errors are possible and products may be subject to change
without notice. Pictures may differ from actual products depending on local market requirements and regulations.
Installation
The Surge Protector 2 must be installed inside the controller. The small size allows for
multiple Surge Protectors to be installed to protect all connected inputs.
The Surge Protector 2 has two wires at the top that connect to the controller and two
terminals at the bottom that connect to the external switch/sensor. The Surge Protector is
installed in between the controller terminals and the switch/sensor.
Correct polarity should be observed when connecting any sensors to the controller. Wrong
polarity will cause false sensor signals or errors being reported.
The Surge Protector 2 is polarity safe. We recommend using the red wire* (+) for switched
connections (closed switch symbol), pulse or 24V+ and the black wire* (-) for com or
signal.
*In the example wiring below, red wire is shown as dashed line, black wire as solid line.

ATTENTION – The Surge Proctector 2 has no inbuilt cable strain relief for the
terminal connection. Ensure that the cable gland is tightened to provide strain
relief to the cable.
