MPA5500  A.C. POWER ADAPTOR

The MPA5500 enables any MTL5500 Series module that is normally powered from a nominal 24V DC supply (i.e. those that are not loop-powered) to be powered from a high-voltage AC supply.

It plugs into the power socket (terminals 13 and 14) of an MTL5500 module and clips securely onto the module housing. The 25V DC power output from the adaptor is sufficient to supply a single module and can be connected to any normal AC power source.

MTL CPS STANDARD BACKPLANES

CUSTOM BACKPLANES

MTL4500 series backplanes can be customised for specific applications and customer’s requirements. All the signals on the backplane are ‘safe-area’ so custom designs are possible without the need for certification. MTL offers a fast and efficient customising service upon request.

Many installations can benefit from the use of existing custom solutions. These provide reduced system wiring, modularisation of the channels to match the IO card. In addition diagnostics, such and line fault detection, can be grouped prior to connection into the system.

Remote cable connections:

In addition to the many DCS solutions, listed on a previous page, are backplanes and cables that are ideal when the isolators are mounted in remote cabinets and the signals need to be returned to the system via a multicore cable.

CP-DYN SERIES

CABLES

All FTAs use the Tyco 20 pin Dynamic series of connectors. Cables are fitted with a mating connector and free ends the other, for connection to the system card.
