2.3 MTL7700 Series – accessories
MTL7700 Series barriers mount directly onto DIN-rail. A
comprehensive selection of mounting, tagging, power and earthing
accessories is available. Installation details are given in section 4.3.
Essential accessories
The following are usually considered essential for mounting and
earthing MTL7700 Series barriers:
DIN-rail (eg, THR2 or THR7000)
Insulating spacers (eg, ISP7000)
Earth terminal (eg, ETL7000)
The tagging systems for individual modules and columns of barriers
are described here. They are shown below under Tagging
accessories for columns of barriers.
Mounting accessories (figure 2)
THR2 Standard DIN-rail, 35 x 7.5mm, (in 1m lengths)
THR7000 Nickel-plated DIN-rail, 35 x 7.5mm, for use in
potentially corrosive atmospheres (in 1m lengths)
ISP7000 Insulating spacer: attaches to the base of a DIN-
rail to isolate the IS earth from a structural earth
Tagging accessories for individual barriers (figure 2)
TH7700 Tag holder for mounting on the top of an
individual barrier
Tagging accessories for columns of barriers (figure 2)
TAG57 Tagging strips for mounting over a column of
barriers, for marking barrier locations. Supplied
(with labels) in 1m lengths for cutting to size.
TGL7700 Spare labels for use with TAG57 tagging strips:
0.5m strips, supplied in sets of 10.
IMB57 Tagging strip supports. Two needed for each
