To optimise safety in hazardous areas, choose this zener barrier from Eaton's MTL range. It processes standard electrical signals of up to 14mA in intrinsic safety systems. Use it in single-loop instruments or fully-equipped enclosures to divert excess electrical energy to the ground to prevent sparking and overheating, which can lead to damage and injuries. The unit lets you control a safe-area load with a switch or proximity detector located in a hazardous area. A line-fault detect (LFD) facility picks up short circuits in the field.

• DIN rail mounting capability allows you to easily secure the module by simply clamping it onto the rail
• Wide operating temperature range from -20°C to +60°C for use in demanding environments
• Fully tested and approved for use in potentially explosive settings

A zener barrier diverts excess energy to the ground through fuses and diodes. Galvanic isolators use relays, transformers and optoisolators to provide isolation between the circuits in dangerous and safe areas.
