6.2.8 MTL4526 - Switch operated relay
Two channel, IS output
The MTL4526 enables two separate IS circuits in a hazardous area to be relay-contact
controlled by two on-off switches or logic signals in a safe area. Applications include
the calibration of strain-gauge bridges; changing the polarity (and thereby the tone) of
an IS sounder; the testing of IS fire alarms; and the transfer of safe-area signals into an
annunciator with IS input terminals not segregated from each other. The output-relay
contacts are certified as non-energy-storing apparatus, and can be connected to any IS
circuit without further certification, provided that separate IS circuits are such that they
would remain safe if connected together.
