Analogue Input Modules; Mtl5541/Mtl5541S/Mtl5541S-T - Repeater Power Supply - Eaton Crouse-Hinds MTL5500 Series Instruction Manual

6 .4
The analogue input (AI) modules support 2-wire or 3-wire 4/20mA or HART transmitters located
in a hazardous area; repeating the current in other circuits to drive safe-area loads.

Single channel, for 4/20mA HART® for 2- or 3-wire transmitters
The MTL5541 provides a fully-floating dc supply for energising a conventional 2- or 3-wire
4/20mA transmitter which is located in a hazardous area, and repeats the current in another
floating circuit to drive a safe-area load. For HART 2-wire transmitters, the unit allows bi-
directional communications signals superimposed on the 4/20mA loop current. Alternatively,
the MTL5541S (-T) acts as a current sink for a safe-area connection rather than driving a
current into the load. Separately powered current sources, such as 4-wire transmitters, can be
connected but will not support HART communication.
