MTL5511 SWITCH/ PROXIMITY DETECTOR INTERFACE

The MTLx511 enables a safe-area load to be controlled by a switch or proximity detector located in a hazardous-area. When selected, open or short circuit conditions in the field wiring are detected by the line- fault-detect (LFD) facility and also indicated on the top of the module. Phase reversal for the channel is selected by a switch on the side of the module and output is provided by changeover relay contacts.

SPECIFICATION

Location of switches

Zone 0, IIC, T6 hazardous area

Div. 1, Group A hazardous location

Location of proximity detector

Zone 0, IIC, T4–6 hazardous area if suitably certified Div. 1, Group A hazardous location

Hazardous-area inputs

Inputs conforming to BS EN60947–5–6:2001 standards for proximity detectors (NAMUR)

Voltage applied to sensor

7 to 9V dc from 1kΩ ±10%

Input/output characteristics

Normal phase

Outputs closed if input > 2.1mA (< 2kΩ in input circuit) Outputs open if input < 1.2mA (> 10kΩ in input circuit)

Hysteresis: 200µA (650Ω) nominal

Line fault detection (LFD) (when selected)

User-selectable via switches on the side of the unit. A line fault is indicated by an LED. The channel output relay is de-energisedif an input line fault is detected.

Open-circuit alarm on if Iin < 50µA

Open-circuit alarm offif Iin > 250µA

Short-circuit alarm on if Rin < 100Ω

Note: Resistors must be fitted when using the LFD facility with a contact input 500Ω to 1kΩ in series with switch 20kΩ to 25kΩ in parallel with switch

Safe-area output

Single pole relay with changeover contacts

Note: reactive loads must be adequately suppressed

LED indicators

Green: power indication

Yellow: channel status, on when output energised

Red: LFD indication, on when line fault detected

Maximum current consumption

25mA at 24V

Power dissipation within unit

0.6W at 24V
