6.4.5 MTL5544D - Repeater Power Supply
Two channel, for 4/20mA HART® for 2- or 3-wire transmitters, two outputs
The MTL5544D provides a fully-floating dc supply for energising a conventional 2- or 3-wire
4/20mA transmitter located in a hazardous area, and repeats the current in other circuits
to drive two safe-area loads. For HART 2-wire transmitters, the unit allows bi-directional
transmission of digital communication signals superimposed on the 4/20mA loop current via
channel 1 only,Separately powered current sources, such as 4-wire transmitters, can be
connected but will not support HART communication.

NOTE: For correct operation of the module, a suitable load must be present on both output channels.
This is of particular importance during testing, commissioning or maintenance activities when the
temporary disconnection, or absence, of a load can affect the transfer accuracy of the analogue variable.
