MTL660 RANGE – INTRINSICALLY SAFE INDICATOR
The MTL661, MTL662, MTL663, and MTL665 digital indicators enable process variables to be displayed locally in hazardous and general-purpose plant areas. A typical example would be the re-transmission of mass/flow computations from the safe area, through a suitable MTL IS interface to the indicator in the hazardous area.
The displays are loop powered from the 4-20mA process signal and their low voltage drop allows them to be installed in almost any 2-wire, 4–20mA transmitter loop.
All units can indicate measured values in a linear or a square root extraction mode; the latter being used, for example, to display flow from differential pressure measurement devices such as orifice plates, Dall tubes, or venturi.

Electrical safety
The input circuit of the indicator is designed such that it does not influence the intrinsically safe circuit to which it is connected. (In the USA the application is covered by the entity concept.) Input circuit (terminals 4 & 5) in type of explosion protection intrinsically safe Ex ia IIC, with the following parameters: Ui=30V, Ii=200mA, Pi=1.2W, Ci=0nF, Li=0mH only for connection to a certified intrinsically safe circuit not exceeding these values.
Backlight
