Measurement Technology (MTL) MTL5041 Intrinsically Safe Repeater Power Supply for 4-20mA Transmitters

The Measurement Technology (MTL) MTL5041 is a high-integrity intrinsically safe repeater power supply and galvanic isolator from the renowned MTL5000 series. This module is specifically designed to interface with 2-wire 4-20mA transmitters located in hazardous areas, providing both power and signal isolation for enhanced safety in potentially explosive atmospheres.

The MTL5041 supplies intrinsically safe DC power to the 2-wire transmitter situated in the hazardous location (e.g., Zone 0, Class I Div 1) and accurately repeats the resulting 4-20mA current signal to a safe-area load or control system input. Its galvanic isolation eliminates the need for a high-integrity earth ground, simplifying installation and improving noise immunity compared to traditional Zener barriers.

Certified for use in various hazardous area classifications according to international standards (such as ATEX, IECEx, FM, UL), the MTL5041 ensures that energy transferred into the hazardous area is limited to a level incapable of igniting flammable gases or dusts. Featuring compact DIN rail mounting and screw terminals, it offers easy integration into control cabinets. This reliable device is essential for process control and automation systems in industries like oil & gas, chemical, and pharmaceutical, where field instruments are deployed in hazardous locations.
