Product specifications are subject to change without notice
for close integration of
IS circuits into process-
connected systems
MTL4500 SERIES
Based on proven IS isolation technology,
MTL4500 Series modules do not need a high
integrity earth and the associated circuits can be left
floating or be earthed at any one point in
accordance with good earthing practices. MTL4500
Series provides single channel single loop integrity
across the range with the addition of dual channel
options for the switch/proximity modules, analogue
inputs and analogue outputs. There is even a quad
channel switch/proximity input module for the
maximum channel density.
Line fault detection (LFD) facilities are provided
across the range of I/O functions; on the
switch/proximity detectors, the MTL4523
solenoid/alarm driver and the isolating drivers.
Analogue input units such as the MTL4541 provide
line fault detection by repeating o/c or s/c currents
to the safe-area control system.
System backplanes are located in safe areas
and, because the hazardous-area circuits are
connected directly to the modules, do not need to be
certified. See MTL series backplanes, enclosures and
accessories for full details.
The easy migration from MTL4000 supports
existing installations because MTL4500 modules can
be mounted on backplanes that were designed for
MTL4000. A simple modification uses the backplane
mounting holes of the MTL4000 to accept the
mounting clips for the MTL4500 modules. This
ensures continued availability and operation of
process plant with new I/O modules and enhanced
functionality.
The MTL4500 Series of isolating interface units
introduces key concepts for integrating intrinsic
safety into large or medium sized process-connected
systems. Being exceptionally compact, the units give
high packing densities and plug into system
backplanes with safe-area connections made by
multiway connectors – an approach which not only
simplifies engineering but also reduces installation
and maintenance costs. MTL4500 modules are held
on the backplane with plastic clips that are simple to
use, secure in operation and avoid the use of screws,
giving further reduction in installation and
maintenance time and cost.
Input and output modules handle normal
process applications covering on/off or analogue
signals between hazardous-area equipment and
safe-area systems. Modules incorporate proven
intrinsically safe isolation techniques, internationally
certified for protecting equipment and wiring in all
zones and explosive atmospheres. Input, output and
power-supply circuits are isolated from each other,
giving maximum flexibility for control loop
applications.
Key module design features include a multiway
connector to the backplane for safe-area and power
supply connections. Hazardous-area connections
simply plug into the front of the module; this simplifies
installation and maintenance and reduces time, cost,
and the risk of errors. Status LEDs, configuration
switches and ports are located on the top or side of
individual modules for easy access. The compact,
16mm wide, design reduces weight and gives
exceptionally high packing density.
♦♦ System backplanes with bussed
power and safe-area connections
♦♦ Custom-designed backplanes for
closest integration into process-
connected systems
♦♦ Compatible with MTL4000 Series
interface family
♦♦ Compact modular design with
‘plug-in’ connections

The MTL4510 enables four solid-state outputs in the safe area to be
controlled by up to four switches or proximity detectors located in a
hazardous area. Each pair of output transistors shares a common
terminal and can switch +ve or –ve polarity signals. A range of
module configurations is available (see Table 1) through the use of
selector switches. When proximity detector modes are selected, LFD is
enabled and the output switches to OFF if a line fault is detected.
