No changes to any of the components that might impair their explosion protection are permitted. If any information provided here is not clear: • Contact Eaton’s MTL product line support or one of its representatives. NOTE Improper installation and operation of the enclosure can result in the invalidation of the warranty.
MTL831C Analog Transmitter Figure 1 . 1 - MTL831C Analog Transmitter CAUTIONARY NOTE: In common with all other electrical apparatus installed in hazardous areas,this apparatus must only be installed, operated and maintained by competent personnel. Such personnel shall have undergone training, which included instruction on the various types of protection and installation practices, the relevant rules and regulations, and on the general principles of area classification.
Zone 0 hazardous areas or hazardous locations. The MTL831C/MTL831C-PS can monitor up to 16 inputs from THC or millivolt sources or 2, 3 or 4-wire RTDs or potentiometers. Multiple versions of the MTL831C/ MTL831C-PS are available to support fixed and pluggable screw terminal input options.
4 .2 .1 Mounting on T-section DIN-rail To install, tilt the MTL831C/MTL831C-PS to the left and hook to the left side of the standard 35mm DIN46277 T-section rail. Push to the right and allow the unit to rotate down to sit flat on the DIN Rail. Allow it to spring back to the left and the right side will hook to the DIN Rail.
5 .1 Address Leaving these two pins (A, S) open, sets the address of the MTL831C/MTL831C- PS to “1” . A jumper on these two pins sets the address to “2” . Either is valid for a system with only one MTL831C/MTL831C-PS connected to the MTL838C. When two MTL831C/MTL831C-PSs are connected to a single MTL838C, they must be addressed uniquely.
Sensors connected to the MTL831C/MTL831C-PS should not be earthed. This avoids differences in earth potential that could affect measurement accuracy or damage the MTL831C/MTL831C-PS. If sensors must be earthed they should be POWER located close to each other to avoid differences in earth potential.
The data highway connection is also the source of DC power for the MTL831C/ MTL831C-PS. It is important that the polarity of the wiring on the “+” and “-“ terminals is correct. A shielded twisted-pair wire is recommended. The “S” terminal is wired to the cable shield.
Connect the data highway to a receiver for MTL831C/MTL831C-PS Transmitter #1 as in diagram below. Connect the MTL831C/MTL831C-PS Transmitter #1 data highway (+, S, and – terminal) to the equivalent terminals on a MTL831C/MTL831C- PS Transmitter #2. Install a jumper wire between the Address terminals (A and S) on MTL831C/MTL831C-PS Transmitter #2.

MTL5553. The screen of a Data Highway cable between the MTL831C/MTL831C-PS transmitter and MTL5553 isolator is earthed to a local instrument earth in the MTL831C/MTL831C- PS’s field enclosure or the at the MTL5553’s enclosure.
Modbus. Note that the configuration data is actually held in the MTL838C for one or two MTL831C/MTL831C-PS Transmitters – depending on how many are connected. If an MTL831C/MTL831C-PS must be replaced for some reason, its configuration is automatically transmitted from the MTL838C to the MTL831C/MTL831C-PS when it is powered up.
FAULT-FINDING IN THE MTL831C/MTL831C-PS The following are some tips when the system does not seem to be functioning correctly. If you are still unable to solve the issue, please contact Eaton Technical Support for help. The POWER light is not ON or blinking •...

• Use the PC software to check the diagnostic information. • Try rebooting each device connected to the data highway one at a time. • Contact Eaton for assistance if the source of the issue cannot be found. The POWER and ERROR lights alternately turn on and off •...
13 .2 Disposal Product - End of Life Eaton’s MTL product line sells products world-wide that must meet the environmental and regulatory requirements of different countries and regions. European directives on Waste Electronic and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) define the requirements on a producer to provide for the end-of-life recovery and recycling of electronic products when they become waste at the end of their life.
