MD-TT3

Thermocouple Temperature Intrinsic Safety Barrier (3-Channel)
The MD-TT is an isolated barrier that prevents the risk of excess temperature, arcs, and sparks igniting the explosive atmosphere present in a hazardous area. It features up to three channels, and every single of them supports analog signals and can be configured with the MODBUS protocol. The MD-TT is a 3-channel isolated barrier that can measure temperature from a thermocouple. It supports a wide range of sensors including B, E, J, K, N, R, S, and T sensor types with an internal cold junction. The temperature value transmits to a safe area through the MODBUS protocol for processing and monitoring purposes, which is done via an integrated CPU platform. Moreover, the MD-TT consumes current and power up to 208 mA and 5W respectively. Its power dissipation is acceptably less than 1W. And the environmental conditions are -20 to +60 °C as an operation and -25 to +65 °C as storage temperature.
