FAQs:
What is the purpose of the MTL 4576 HART Isolator?
The MTL 4576 provides intrinsic safety, galvanic isolation, and signal conditioning for 4-20mA signals with HART communication between safe-area control systems and hazardous-area 2-wire field transmitters, protecting both equipment and personnel in Zone 0/1 hazardous locations.
Does the MTL 4576 require a separate power supply?
No, the MTL 4576 is a passive, loop-powered device that operates from the 15-30V DC supply provided by the PLC/DCS system, with typical device consumption of less than 3 mA.
What certifications does the MTL 4576 carry for hazardous area use?
The MTL 4576 carries ATEX and IECEx approvals for Zone 0/1 hazardous area installations with ratings for IIC gas groups and T6 temperature classification, making it suitable for international hazardous area applications.
How does the MTL 4576 handle HART communication signals?
The device provides full HART signal transparency with no degradation, maintaining the 0.5-1.2V p-p signal amplitude required for reliable digital communication between HART masters and field devices.
