Das heißt, das System kann nur die Teilstrecke überprüfen, ausgehen vom System, bis zum Abschluss. Als Abschluss dient eine Z-Diode oder eine Zypressordiode mit einer bestimmten, vom System geforderten, Zehnerspannung. Die liegt zwischen 18 und 20 Volt.

termination/terminator and to terminate


Explanation:
All entries in the ProZ glossaries point to terminator/to terminate, and rightly so. I'd be rather concerned about Zehnerspannung and Zypressordiode. That's pretty pine-lich.
