Intrinsic Safety products come in many forms. Intrinsic Safety barriers and Intrinsic Safety isolators are common examples. Barriers and Isolators are design in many different form factors depending on the application and the equipment being protected. MTL also provides Intrinsic Safety sensors and displays. Devices that must operate safely in a hazardous area like solenoid valves and indicators. MTL also manufacture distributed data acquisition equipment, multiplexers and Process I/O that is safe in hazardous applications. We can also provide gas analysis equipment, safe exit lighting and gas detection products.

The process industries are rapidly evolving to distributed control via the Fieldbus technology. MTL anticipated this trend and developed the industries first Process I/O product, the MTL8000. MTL8000 is a truly field mountable process I/O product family. It is designed to live where your transmitters live. MTL8000 is also the first I/O system to permit mounting directly in the hazardous areas, whether Class I Division 1 or Division 2 ( and this includes non-incentive and non-arcing environments). MTL truly is the Safe Choice for Process I/O.
