TERT Yokogawa Terminal Blocks Module

The Yokogawa TERT, also cataloged as the TERT Terminal Blocks Module, operates as a dedicated hardware component for 16-point RTD input signal termination and field wiring interfacing within Yokogawa control system racks.

Hardware Specifications

Yokogawa RTD Signal Conditioning & CJC Channel Isolation

The TERT module routes 16-channel RTD temperature sensor connections through heavy-duty M4 screw terminals to backplane A/D converter cards. Mechanical separation between input channels guarantees minimum 100 Mohm insulation resistance, providing robust channel-to-channel isolation. The terminal structure maintains signal linearity for RTD resistance variations while preventing common-mode noise interference across sensitive process control loops.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the TERT terminal block module draw operating current from the system backplane?

A: No, the TERT module functions strictly as a passive wiring interface for field RTD sensor leads and consumes zero backplane power.

Q: What environmental safety ratings apply to field installation of the TERT terminal module?

A: The TERT module holds CSA Non-Incendive certification, permitting installation in designated Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations when wired per agency control drawings.

Field Installation Guidelines

Mount the TERT terminal blocks module firmly onto its assigned chassis slot, securing all retaining fasteners to establish mechanical stability and cabinet grounding continuity. Strip 3-wire or 4-wire RTD field conductors to standard lengths and clamp them under the M4 terminal screws using recommended torque limits. Route low-level RTD signal wiring through separate cable ducts isolated from AC power conductors, and terminate cable shields at a single ground point on the panel earth bar.
