MTL5582B  MTL Intrinsically Safe Isolator 5500 Series RTD-RTD Isolator

MTL 5500 Intrinsically Safe Isolators Resistance Isolator MTL5582B

MTL4582B - MTL5582B RESISTANCE ISOLATOR to repeat RTD signals

The MTLx582B connects to a 2-, 3-, or 4-wire resistance temperature device (RTD) or other resistance located in a hazardous area, isolates it and repeats the resistance to a monitoring system in the safe area. The module is intended typically (but not exclusively) for use with Pt100 3-wire RTDs. Switches enable selection of 2-, 3-, or 4-wire RTD connection. The MTLx582B should be considered as an alternative, non-configurable MTLx575, for use in RTD applications where a resistance input is preferred or needed instead of 4/20mA. The design is notable for its ease of use and repeatability. The number of wires which can be connected on the safe-area side of the unit is independent of the number of wires which can be connected on the hazardous-area side. The module drives upscale in the case of open circuit detection.
