6.7.1 MTL5573 - Temperature Converter
Single channel, THC or RTD input
The MTL5573 converts a low-level dc signal from a temperature sensor mounted
in a hazardous area into a 4/20mA current for driving a safe-area load. Software
selectable features include linearisation, ranging, monitoring, testing and tagging for all
thermocouple types and 2-, 3- or 4-wire RTDs. (For thermocouple applications the HAZ-
CJC plug on terminals 1–3 includes an integral CJC sensor). Configuration is carried out
using a personal computer.
