The transmitter canbe calibrated, interrogated or tested from the host computer, or byusing a hand-held communicator connected in either the safe orhazardous area. The MTL3046B is a development of the MTL3046,which it replaces, and it is compatible with the majority of ‘smart’transmitters available.SPECIFICATIONSee also 'Common specification'Number of channelsOne, fully floatingLocation of transmitterZone 0, IIC, T4–6 hazardous area if suitably certifiedDiv 1, Group A, hazardous locationVoltage available for transmitter and lines15V minimum at 20mANote: maximum open-circuit voltage is 28VMaximum permitted line resistance[(15 minus transmitter voltage requirement) x 50] ΩInput and output signal range4 to 20mA with superimposed digital signalDigital signal bandwidth (safe area to hazardous area)10Hz to 8kHzDigital signal bandwidth (hazardous area to safe area)dc to 10kHzInput resistance (terminals 6 & 8)≤30Ω (600mV at 20mA)Safe-area circuit load resistance20 to 750Ω (250Ω ±10% for digital communications)Safe-area circuit output resistance>1MΩSafe-area circuit ripple<160µA peak-to-peakDC transfer accuracy at 20°CBetter than 20µATemperature drift<1µA/°CResponse timeSettles to within 10% of final value after typically 40µsPower requirement85mA typically at 24V with 20mA signal75mA at 35V to 125mA at 20V with 20mA signalPower dissipation within unit1.7W typical at 24V with 20mA signal2.3W maximum at 35V with 20mA signalReplaceable fuse200mA, 5x20mm glass to DIN 41571 sht.2, semi-time-lag (M)Safety descriptionTerminals 5 & 628V, 300Ω, 93mA, Um = 250V rms or dcTerminals 6 & 8Non-energy storing apparatus – ≤1.2V, ≤0.1A, ≤20µJ and≤25mW.
