Later versions are hinged by locating the clips at the hinged end into the rectangular appartures on the barrier body.

    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.

    Where this possibility General cannot be avoided, then barriers associated with bonded Circuits in all MTL7700 Series barriers are encapsulated and so systems should be mounted on a separate DIN-rail from those on cannot be repaired. However, provided they are correctly installed which other barriers are mounted.

    Figure 20 depicts a typical switch-status transfer circuit protected by an MTL7787+ barrier which illustrates some of the fault-finding techniques discussed in this section. To determine the serviceability of MTL7700 Series barriers, follow the steps described in sections 7.2 to 7.3. INM7700-6...

    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...
