    INSTALLATION General MTL7700 Series barriers clamp directly onto standard T-section DIN- rail (DIN EN 50 022). The simple mounting procedure for barriers is described in section 4.2 and for accessories in section 4.3. 4.1.1 DIN-rail length BEFORE mounting the barriers, make sure the rail length is sufficient for the proposed number of barriers and for other mounting ERB57O accessories.
  • Page 8 Item Refer to no. section: Action Hazardous- Safe-area area terminals terminals Before beginning installation, check that the safety documentation confirms that proposed system is fully certified (if applicable) and complies with the recommendations contained in the relevant sections of IEC 60079-14 for the gas group, temperature classification and area classification required.

For those applications (the majority) in which the IS earth is NOT routed through the mounting surface, connections for routing the IS earth from the DIN-rail to an appropriate plant earth are made through earth terminals (ETL7000) clamped onto the DIN-...

Later versions are hinged by locating the clips at the hinged end into the rectangular appartures on the barrier body. The later design High - profile can be retrofitted on early modules by removing the hinge pins with DIN rail a knife.
  • Page 11: Wiring Connections

    WIRING CONNECTIONS Up to 40 barriers can be linked using the power links. The link itself is supplied from a power feed module (MTL7798). The MTL7798 power feed module is provided with a trip circuit which protects the General barriers by switching off their supply if a fault (such as an This section describes wiring connections as follows: overvoltage) occurs in the power source.

    8.2.3 Constant-current tests For these tests (last column of tables 4 to 10) a constant-current generator capable of supplying 10µA, 20mA and 40mA currents from a 30V source is needed. Ideally, a purpose-built current generator should be used but, alternatively, a set-up based on a laboratory power supply and two multimeters (figure 23) will serve.

  • Page 18: Test Tables For Passive Barriers

    Test tables for passive barriers Tables 4 to 10 detail the tests for all MTL7700 Series ‘passive’ barriers. In the ‘diode test’ columns, the figures adjacent to the diode description indicate the number of forward-biased diodes used in the barrier chain. Using the multimeter diode test function and knowing the diode voltage drop figures (approximately 0.6V for each Zener diode and 0.3V for each Schottky diode), the expected reading across the diode chain can be determined.
