General information 

By purchasing the innovative WAGO inscription system you have adopted the most cost-effective 
solution for terminal block labeling.  

 

The new TOPJOB

®

S terminal blocks with CAGE CLAMP

®

S connection by WAGO offer new solutions 

in cost reduction in terminal block labeling. The center ceptacles for all terminal blocks with sizes 
from 1.5 mm² to 6 mm² and from 10 mm² to 16 mm² are aligned to the same level. This is a 
prerequisite for marking using a full length marking strip for terminal blocks of different diameters. 
The cost saving solution: The marking sequence assigned to the terminal block width can be 
automatically generated when creating the terminal block configuration using the WAGO 
smartDesigner program. Using these data, the marking strip is printed directly from a thermal transfer 
printer.  
 
For terminal blocks with conductor cross-sections of 2.5 mm² to 95 mm², an additional label 
inscription on spools, WAGO WMB Inline, with 1,500 labels or 8,000 labels per spool is offered 
for printing using the same thermal transfer printer. The label mounting is simple, easy and cost-
effective - one touch is enough.  
 
The WMB Inline labels can be stretched from 5 to 5.2 mm, which means they can be attached to all  
2.5mm² terminal blocks without singularization. In addition, they can be separated simply by turning 
them and then applying them individually to all rail-mounted terminal blocks. 
 
Please observe all information in respect to the admissible print media and the notes on device 
maintenance, in order to avoid damages and premature wear and tear on your printer.

Product description 

 

For printing on WAGO inscription materials, standard label printers are used after simple 
modifications. The TP298 printer is a label printer to be utilized either in direct thermal or in thermal 
transfer print, providing a nearly unlimited variety in the graphical design. The cast aluminum 
assembly enclosure assures optimum functional safety even in harsh conditions. 
 
The integration of a 32Bit Motorola processor and a generously designed user memory of 8 MB 
provide print-outs in seconds. 

 

The integration of a variable voltage power supply unit makes it unnecessary for the operator to 
adjust the printer to different system voltages. The modular design assures a quick and efficient 
service. As accessories to the TP298, an external winder and a cutting knife are available.
