BASIC INFO
MTL3000 series MTL3052 DIGITAL ISOLATOR has been discontinued for sale now.
MTL3000 Series interface units offered a compact and easy-to-use means for communicating safely with process measuring, indicating, actuating and local control equipment in hazardous areas. The comprehensive range of models included analogue, switch and serial-digital signals in both directions, amplifying or otherwise conditioning them as required and at the same time providing world wide certified explosion protection for equipment and wiring in all zones and all explosive atmospheres. It also provided an alternative to the shunt-diode safety barrier where isolation was essential or preferred or a high-integrity earth was not readily available.
The MTL5500 Series are the recommended replacements for this series.
MTL3052 DIGITAL ISOLATOR for signals up to 10kHz.
This unit is similar in principle to the MTL3042 but operates at a higher frequency for use with digital signals. Its primary application is to provide IS protection for the data highways and transmitters in
MTL800 Series multiplexer systems. The MTL3052 features two output circuits: one with a 15V 180Ω safety description, and an alternative 15V 100Ω circuit which can be used if higher loop resistances need to be accommodated, for example when surge protectors are incorporated in the data highways. If the low-resistance outputs are used on two units fitted to a dual-highway system however, the multiplexer transmitters are restricted to location in IIB atmospheres.
