The MTL2211 enables two 500VA safe-area loads to be controlled
independently through two relays by two light-duty on/off switches in
a hazardous area. The two input circuits are independently fully
floating and are unaffected by each other. Each relay is provided with
two sets of changeover contacts, which are connected in parallel
within the unit for maximum reliability. Applications include the
operation of medium-powered electrical equipment such as alarms,
lights, and small electrical motors, or contactors for controlling higherpowered equipment.
