Product Description
The MTL4015 Switch/Proximity Detector Interface Unit is a high-performance module from the MTL4000 Series, designed to connect field switches or proximity detectors located in hazardous areas to safe-area control systems. It enables a single sensor to control two independent safe-area relay outputs, making it ideal for applications where one signal must drive both control and shutdown systems.
This module provides galvanic isolation, ensuring safe signal transmission and protecting both field devices and control systems from electrical faults. Moreover, it includes line fault detection (LFD) for open or short circuits and earth fault monitoring, supporting comprehensive system diagnostics. The phase-reversal switch allows alarm signaling for either sensor state, offering flexibility for various control philosophies.
Engineered for the process automation, oil & gas, and chemical industries, the MTL4015 guarantees compliance with intrinsic safety standards such as ATEX, IECEx, and FM. Its compact DIN-rail design, intuitive LED indicators, and robust build make it a reliable choice for mission-critical applications.
