GETTING STARTED

Installation of the MTL831B multiplexer transmitter is divided into

three main topics.

♦ Mechanical Installation – how to mount the MTL831B and

how it may be fitted into our enclosure.

♦ Electrical Connections – the sensor and highway

connections. If units are installed in our enclosures, it details any

special wiring arrangements.

♦ Configuration-  the address and input mode selection by the

setting of internal switches.

Note:  A new user might find it helpful to set up the system, or a

simple version of it, in an indoor test area to gain familiarisation

before undertaking installation on site.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

Location

The MTL831B can be installed in either safe or hazardous areas

(including Zone 0 or Division 1) depending upon the requirements of

the application.

Mounting options

The unit can be mounted on T-section DIN-rail or onto a flat surface.

Eaton has a range of enclosures – ENC8. ENC8-SS, ENC83 or

ENC83-SS – to provide suitable IP67 protection if the transmitter is

located in an exposed area.
