MD-UT3

Universal Temperature Intrinsic Safety Barrier (3-Channel)
The MD-UT is a universal temperature intrinsically safe barrier. It can measure analog signals and be configured with the Modbus protocol. It can be purchased with 1-2 or 3 channels. The current and power consumption of the input is about 208 mA and 5W respectively, and the power dissipation is less than 1W with a 35 mm DIN mounting rail acc. The MD-UT3 is a 3-Channel Isolated Barrier that can measure temperature and support various temperature sensors, including 2-3 and 4 wire RTDs, from PT10 to PT1000. When accuracy is not critical you can use 2-wire RTDs. Of course, 3 and 4-wire constructions are used in industries and laboratories where close accuracy is imperative. In addition to this, the thermocouple sensors can be read with different types (B, E, J, K, L, R, N, S, T-Type). The CJC is internal, and its deviation is about ±0.8 K. When installed in hazardous areas, the temperature value collected is transmitted back to the safe areas through the Modbus protocol. Also, the environmental conditions are -20 to +60 °C as an operation and -25 to +65 °C as storage temperature.
