RESISTANCE ISOLATOR
to repeat RTD signals
The MTL5582 connects to a 2-, 3-, or 4-wire resistance temperature
device (RTD) or other resistance located in a hazardous area, isolates
it and repeats the resistance to a monitoring system in the safe area.
The module is intended typically (but not exclusively) for use with
Pt100 3-wire RTDs. Switches enable selection of 2-, 3-, or 4-wire RTD
connection. The MTL5582 should be considered as an alternative, non-
configurable MTL5575, for use in RTD applications where a resistance
input is preferred or needed instead of 4/20mA. The design is notable
for its ease of use and repeatability. The number of wires which can
be connected on the safe-area side of the unit is independent of the
number of wires which can be connected on the hazardous-area side.
