MTL4504 - Switch/Proximity detector interface
Single-channel, with LFD and phase reversal
The MTL4504 enables a safe–area load to be controlled, through a relay, by a proximity
detector or switch located in a hazardous area. Line faults are signalled through a
separate relay and indicated on the top of the module. MTBF information for the LFD
relay is available from Eaton to allow the failure rate for the LFD relay to be calculated
when used in the critical path with the output relay for safety critical applications.
Switches are provided to select phase reversal and to enable the line fault detection.
Note that series and parallel resistors are required for switch inputs with LFD - see Section 6.1.2
for recommended values.
Note: For reliable, long-term operation the load on the output switching relays should not
be less than 50mW, e.g.10mA at 5VDC.
