6.3.2 MTL5532 - Pulse Isolator
Pulse & 4/20mA current outputs
The MTL5532 isolates pulses from a switch, proximity detector, current pulse transmitter
or voltage pulse transmitter located in a hazardous area. It is ideal for applications involving
high pulse rates and fast response times, by repeating the pulses into the safe area, and the
transistors used on the pulse output will switch +ve or –ve polarity signals.
It may be used immediately in simple or legacy mode, or it may be software configured for more
specific applications - see next page for either option. With configuration, an analogue output
proportional to frequency is available, together with a relay output, which may act as an alarm.
Note: For reliable, long-term operation the load on the output switching relay should not be less
than 50mW, e.g.10mA at 5VDC.
