MTL Instruments has introduced its next generation intrinsic safety isolators using its innovative ‘One-Core’ technology.
Intrinsic safety (IS) interface specialists MTL Instruments are introducing two new IS isolator ranges that will meet the vast majority of current and future user applications. The backplane mounted MTL4500 and DIN-rail mounted MTL5500 series represents the next generation in IS isolator design. Both ranges are based on a proprietary ‘One-Core’ technology, which ensures high quality and availability whilst maintaining maximum flexibility and low cost.
Incorporating advanced circuit design, a common set of components and innovative transformer construction, the new modules achieve a significant reduction in power consumption while increasing channel packing densities. Other user benefits include 3-port isolation, low power dissipation and quick install/release mechanism.
The backplane mounted MTL4500 Series is designed with the requirements of system vendors in mind, for applications such as distributed control systems (DCS), emergency shutdown systems (ESD) and fire and gas monitoring (F&G). The reduced power consumption and high efficiency of the isolators enables high signal densities to be achieved, together with improved freedom in cabinet layout and design. Easy integration with the input/output assemblies of control or safety instrumentation systems not only simplifies project engineering, but also reduces installation and maintenance costs.
The MTL5500 Series meets the need of the IS interface market for application focused projects. These range from single loops, through various combinations and enclosures, to fully equipped cabinets across all industries where hazardous areas exist. Within the slim, compact housing the range of module options contains both single and multiple channel devices, which enables the user to choose the functionality and integrity needed without sacrificing cabinet space.
The modules can be used for a wide variety of interface tasks for process instrumentation, routing of all signal wiring through removable, coded connectors that facilitates fast installation and simple maintenance procedures. By sharing common connector elements, the MTL5500 Series modules can directly replace MTL5000 series devices, thus keeping system downtime to a minimum.
