QUICKSTART GUIDE

This quickstart guide is written for an MTL83xC system based on an MTL831C
temperature input multiplexer transmitter with an MTL838C multiplexer receiver.
Before the actual installation, it is recommended that new users initially set up a
simple system on the bench to become familiar with the MTL83xC system. The
minimum hardware required for a test system is as follows:
MTL831C Analog transmitter
MTL838C Receiver
Isolator (for hazardous area installations only).
MTL5553
In order to run a test the following equipment will be required:
A PC loaded with MTL83xC Configuration software, Power supply 20 - 35V @
500mA, together with suitable cabling for the following requirements:
Data highway connections (see INM831C / INM838C)
Power supply connections
USB cable
The user will also need the following documentation for wiring information:
INM831C MTL831C installation manual
INM838C MTL838C installation manual
Connect at least one sensor to an MTL831C.
Refer to chapter 5 to configure and test the system.
