6.3.3  MTL5533 - Vibration Transducer Interface 
 (Reference use only: Terminated product, use 2 x MTL5531)
Two channel
The MTL5533 repeats signals from vibration sensors in a hazardous area, providing outputs 
for monitoring systems in the safe area. The interface is compatible with 3-wire eddy-current 
probes and accelerometers or 2-wire current sensors, and selection of the mode for each 
channel is made with the switches on the side of the module.

*  Note: When using 2-wire sensors, ensure 
that terminals 1 & 2 and 4 & 5 have wiring 
links as shown in the wiring diagram above.
WARNING!
To enable adequate heat dissipation from the MTL5533 modules, they 
must be installed on the DIN rail with a 10mm space between adjacent 
units. Eaton produce the  MS010 DIN rail module spacer for this purpose 
(packs of 5 - see Section 4.3), and these then enable operation in ambient 
temperatures of up to 50°C in vertical or horizontal orientation.
