The EATON MTL5573 TEMPERATURE CONVERTER is an advanced signal isolator and converter designed for hazardous area applications. It accurately transforms low-level DC signals from temperature sensors into standardized 4-20mA outputs for safe-area monitoring. The TEMPERATURE CONVERTER MTL5573 MTL supports various sensor types including thermocouples and RTDs, making it ideal for process control in oil & gas and chemical industries.
With PC-configurable software, the MTL5573 TEMPERATURE CONVERTER AND ALARM offers flexible linearization, ranging, and monitoring capabilities. Its unique HAZ-CJC plug includes an integral cold junction compensation sensor for thermocouple applications. The device ensures precise signal conversion while maintaining intrinsic safety standards in Zone 0/1 hazardous locations.
The EATON MTL5573 complies with IEC 61508 standards for Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) up to SIL2. It provides fail-safe operation with output current limited to <3.6mA in downscale conditions. For enhanced safety, the Temperature converter EATON MTL5573 can be used in voting architectures to achieve higher integrity levels in critical applications.
Supporting HART protocol communication, the EATON Drive Interface/Operator MTL5573 enables bi-directional data transmission while maintaining the 4-20mA signal. This smart functionality, combined with robust isolation technology, ensures reliable performance in demanding industrial environments while simplifying system integration.
