Introduction; General - Eaton MTL SUM5 Instruction Manual

1.1
This instruction manual describes the procedures for installing, connecting, checking
and maintaining the MTL SUM5 range of MTL4 isolating interfaces and accessories that
are mounted between the control room and the field instrumentation, or controls. The
contents of this manual should be read in association with the latest product datasheet
containing all of the necessary electrical data. This product range follows on from the
well-established MTL 4000/4500 range of modules which were chosen individually for
their functionality.
The MTL4 products are compact, universal isolator modules that may be used either as
an intrinsically safe (IS) interface to the hazardous area of a process plant or, equally as
well, as isolating interfaces for non-hazardous area service, the difference being merely
the module base into which the isolator module is plugged.
The individual sections of the manual provide guidance on the following topics
• Section 2 describes the range and its accessories
• Section 3 specifies precautions before installation
• Section 4 covers the installation of the carrier
• Section 5 describes the installation of modules onto the carrier
• Section 6 provides relevant configuration options
• Section 7 outlines fault-finding and maintenance
• Section 8 provides Safety Descriptions and Cable Parameters
• Section 9 provides a list of key products with part numbers
