Certificate history:
This certificate is issued as verification that a sample(s), representative of production, was assessed and tested and found to comply with the IEC Standard list below and that the manufacturer's quality system, relating to the Ex products covered by this certificate, was assessed and found to comply with the IECEx Quality system requirements. This certificate is granted subject to the conditions as set out in IECEx Scheme Rules, IECEx 02 and Operational Documents as amended.
This Unit verification certificate is issued as verification that the Apparatus identified on page 1, was assessed and tested and found to comply with the IEC Standard list below. This certificate is granted subject to the conditions as set out in IECEx Scheme Rules, IECEx 02 and Operational Documents as amended.
STANDARDS: The electrical apparatus and any acceptable variations to it specified in the schedule of this certificate and the identified documents, was found to comply with the following standards:
As this is a Unit Verification Certificate, no QAR is applicable as this certificate is specific to the items listed by serial number or other unique identification.
The MTL4544A Two Channel Current Repeater is designed to repeat up to two 4-20mA current signals from separately powered 4/20mA transmitters located in the hazardous area to unspecified apparatus in the non-hazardous area, whilst restricting the transfer of energy from the unspecified non-hazardous area apparatus to the intrinsically safe circuits by the means of limitation of current and voltage. The apparatus also allows bi-directional signal communication between the hazardous and non-hazardous area by connection of a hand-held communicator (HHC).The MTL4544A Current Repeater comprises four isolating transformers that provide galvanic isolation between the hazardous and non‑hazardous area circuitry, fuses, zener diodes and resistors providing voltage and current limitation on each channel. The above, together with other electronic components are mounted on a single printed circuit board (PCB) and housed in a moulded plastic enclosure. Polarised plug and sockets are provided for hazardous and non-hazardous area connections. The apparatus is fitted with a Power-on LED indication.The MTL4541A Single Channel Current Repeater is a depopulated version of the MTL4544A and has only one channel populated.Minor changes to the non-hazardous are circuitry of both models of the apparatus form the MTL4541AS Single Channel and MTL4544AS Two Channel Current Repeater. These models use the same common PCB and enclosure and in terms of intrinsic safety are identical.See Annex for electrical data.
ExTR: None
