MTL3013 Dual Control Interface MTL Brand

MTL3013 Dual-Channel Hazardous Area Interface: Reliable Dual Control

The MTL3013 from MTL Instruments provides two independent control channels in one compact unit. This interface connects NAMUR sensors to control systems in hazardous locations. It offers flexible configuration and clear status monitoring for industrial applications.

Core Features and Operation

• The MTL3013 provides two completely independent control channels in one space-saving unit.
• It accepts NAMUR-compliant sensor inputs with 7-8.5V DC power supply requirements.
• Each channel features configurable phase reversal for installation flexibility.
• Dual LED status indicators give clear visual feedback for both channels separately.
