FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the DEHN 372210 terminal?
The DEHN 372210 terminal is designed to securely connect lightning protection conductors to steel girders and structures, forming an essential part of a lightning protection system.
What standard does this terminal comply with?
This terminal complies with EN 62561-1 standards for components of lightning protection systems.
Can this terminal be used on concrete structures?
No, this terminal is specifically designed for connection to steel girders or steel structures.
What sizes of round conductors can be connected?
It is suitable for round conductors with diameters ranging from 6 mm to 10 mm.
What is the clamping range for the steel structure?
The terminal has a clamping area suitable for steel elements ranging from 3 mm to 18 mm in thickness.
What is the surface treatment of the terminal?
The terminal has a hot-dip galvanized (Tauchfeuerverzinkt) surface treatment for enhanced corrosion resistance.
Does it allow for different connection angles?
Yes, its design facilitates either a longitudinal or a cross connection.
Troubleshooting
Terminal does not provide a secure grip on the steel girder.
Ensure the steel surface is clean and flat. Check if the girder's thickness falls within the clamping range (3-18 mm). Use the appropriate tightening torque on the hexagon screw.
Conductor is loose within the clamp.
Verify the conductor diameter is within the 6-10 mm range. Ensure the clamping area is clear of debris. Tighten the hexagon screw firmly.
Visible signs of corrosion.
While the hot-dip galvanized finish is protective, significant corrosion may indicate harsh environmental exposure. Clean the area and consider applying a suitable protective coating if necessary. Ensure the connection's electrical integrity is maintained.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Ensures secure and compliant lightning protection connections.
Versatile for different connection orientations (longitudinal/cross).
Durable construction with corrosion-resistant finish.
Meets stringent safety standards (EN 62561-1).
Easy to install on steel girders.
Cons
Limited to use with steel structures.
Specific conductor diameter and clamping range.
Requires appropriate tools for installation (e.g., hexagon wrench).
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Identify the steel girder or structure where the connection is needed.
Ensure the steel surface is clean and free of excessive rust or paint that could impede electrical contact.
Place the DEHN 372210 terminal onto the steel girder, aligning it for the desired connection (longitudinal or cross).
Insert the appropriate round conductor (6-10 mm diameter) into the designated clamping area.
Tighten the hexagon screw to secure the conductor within the clamping range (3-18 mm). Ensure a firm connection.
Connect the other end of the lightning protection conductor as required by the system design.
Compatibility:
Conductor Type: Primarily for round conductors.
Conductor Diameter: 6 mm to 10 mm.
Clamping Range: 3 mm to 18 mm.
Mounting Surface: Specifically designed for steel girders and steel structures.
Care:
Inspect the terminal periodically for signs of corrosion or damage. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides excellent protection, but extreme conditions may warrant checks.
Ensure connections remain tight. Vibrations or thermal expansion/contraction can sometimes loosen fittings over time.
Clean any accumulated debris around the terminal that could impede its function.
