MTL is a pioneer in the development of the "shunt diode" safety barrier. This is a passive network device that uses Zener diodes, resistors and fuses to safely divert excess electrical energy to ground and thus prevent sparking in or overheating of equipment in hazardous areas. Their key benefits are low cost and the ability to operate with data in analogue DC or high-speed digital forms.
The latest range of barriers, the MTL7700 series, builds on the established MTL700 products that were introduced in 1982.
Known for their quality and reliability, over 2 million MTL700 barriers are now in use throughout the world.
The latest MTL7700 series features include:
* Removable terminals - for easy cabling
* Bussed power - reduces cabling
* Barrier protection module
* Proximity detector inputs - UNIQUE
* Dual channel modules
* Relay and solid state switch modules - UNIQUE
