The MTL5521 and the MTL4521L are loop-powered modules which enable a device located in the hazardous area to be controlled from the safe area. They can all drive a certified intrinsically safe low-power load, as well as non-energy-storing simple apparatus such as an LED.

SIL capable

These models have been assessed for use in IEC 61508 functional safety applications.

SIL3 capable for a single device (HFT=0) when the required function is to de-energise the output.

SIL1 capable for a single device (HFT=0) when the required function is to energise the output.
