The MTL5500 Series is the latest generation of MTL intrinsic safety isolators designed to meet the needs of the intrinsic safety (IS) interface market for application focussed projects, from single instrument loops to fully equipped cabinets. Incorporating advanced circuit design and innovative isolating transformer construction these isolators offer explosion protection and help protect electrical signals in hazardous areas ensuring a safe working environment.

DIN-rail mounting and plug-in signal and power connectors simplify installation and maintenance. These IS units are powered from a 20 to 35 V dc supply voltage, or, in some cases, from the signal itself.

The compact 16mm wide design reduces weight and gives a cost-effective high packing density and reduction in power consumption. A wide range of module options includes both single and multiple channel isolation barrier devices. They build on the success of the MTL5000 series to bring the benefits of galvanic isolators with exceptional design and reliability.,II (I) GD (Ex ia) IIC,IECEx, ATEX (Baseefa) FM, CSA

Use this isolating driver from Eaton MTL to safely transfer electrical signals to pressure converters in hazardous locations. As it supports HART (highway addressable remote transducer) communication, it allows digital operating signals to travel over analogue wiring, making it a good choice for use with legacy equipment. For quick and easy mounting, simply clip it onto a DIN rail. This unit also comes with plug-in connectors, so you'll find it simple to link your devices without the need for complex wiring. You can use this isolating driver to safely power pressure-regulating instruments in your industrial operations.
