Phoenix Contact
VAL-MS AR
The AR line combines advanced connection and hybrid surge protection technologies and provides the ability to accurately replace SPDs, thus increasing safety and improving revenue time.
The AR line of products provides significant advantages over existing connection technology and protection practices in one easy-to-install solution. The AR devices are four times faster to install and maintain than traditional ice-cube-style SPDs. This quick connection can result in significant labor and maintenance savings as railways modernize their wayside equipment to meet federal Positive Train Control (PTC) mandates. An increased level of safety is achieved by indicators that provide both local and remote notice of end-of-life.
Proven Phoenix Contact technologies provide this rapid track-side field connection through screw-clamp terminals and quick-disconnect test points. Improved protection levels and visual status indication provided on hot-swappable surge protection plugs reduce equipment damage while providing a rapid, safe method for replacement.
