The MTLx576–RTD converts signals from resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) mounted in a hazardous area, into 4/20mA currents for driving safe-area loads. Software selectable features include input type and characterisation, ranging, monitoring, testing and tagging. Configuration is carried out using a personal computer. The MTLx576– RTD is compatible with 2– and 3–wire RTD inputs. The MTLx576-RTD can also be configured to drive two safe-area loads from a single input.Specification:Number of channels: TwoSignal source: 2-/3-wire RTDs to BS 60751 Pt 100, Pt 500, Pt 1000 Cu-50 & Cu-53 Ni 100/500/1000 DIN 43760Location of signal source: Zone 0, IIC, T4–6 hazardous area Division 1, Group A, hazardous locationInput signal range: 0 to 400?
