MTL5576-THC - Temperature Converter

Temperature Input module
These modules accept inputs from low-level dc sources such as thermocouples or RTDs in hazardous
areas and converts them into 4/20mA signals to drive safe area loads.
Early burnout detection (EBD)
When EBD is selected, the resistance of the thermocouple circuit is monitored and an alarm is
raised when there is an increase of more than 50m. This enables preventative maintenance to be
conducted on the field installation before the thermocouple actually breaks.
Configuration using PCS45/PCL45USB
Use PCS45 software, in conjunction with the PCL45USB serial link, to configure these modules. Instructions
are contained within the software.

MTL5576-THC - Temperature Converter
Two channel, mV/THC input
The MTL5576-THC converts low-level dc signals from temperature sensors mounted in a hazardous
area, into 4/20mA currents for driving safe-area loads. The hazardous area connections include
cold-junction compensation and do not need to be ordered separately.
Performance features, including linearisation for standard thermocouple types, ranging, monitoring,
testing and tagging are selected using PCS45 software, which is loaded onto a personal computer
and connected via the PCL45USB serial link.
