MTL5521 FREQUENCY TO
CURRENT CONVERTER
AND TRIP AMPLIFIER
The MTL5521 converts a frequency or rotational speed signal from a
proximity detector located in the hazardous area into
a 0/4–20mA current signal suitable for driving safe area loads.
A display located on the top indicates the frequency.
The analogue output provides either a 0–20mA or 4–20mA signal
that is proportional to the rotational speed or frequency of the input.
A relay output is provided, with two configurable set points, allowing
monitoring of the input frequency. W hen the input frequency is within
this window the relay is energised and a yellow LED is illuminated.
A start-up delay is triggered by a NO contact allowing the system to
start up without creating false alarms.
Configuration settings are made by two push button switches
located on the front of the unit allowing the following parameters to
be displayed and configured:
Output current either 0–20mA or 4–20mA
0/4mA and 20mA frequency values
Line fault detection: Off, wire-break and/or short circuit
Upper and lower threshold values of the set point relay
(including hysteresis)
Start uptime delay 0 to 1000s
Filter time constant
Scaling factors
A line fault detect facility detects open and/or short circuits in the
field. W hen a fault is detected the relay de-energises and the yellow
LED changes to red.
