SERIES MTL7706/7787
ZENER BARRIERS
Intrinsically Safe Barriers for Hazardous Locations
PROCESS CONTROL
MTL7787
The Series MTL7706/7787 Zener Barriers are an intrinsically safe shunt-diode
barrier that can be used to communicate with and provide isolations for certain Dwyer
transmitters approved for use in hazardous areas. These barriers limit the amount of
energy allowed to pass into the hazardous area, which inhibit ignition in ammable
atmospheres.
BENEFITS/FEATURES
• Approved for use in hazardous areas
APPLICATIONS
• Electrically isolates pressure and level transmitters from unregulated circuits for
intrinsically safe applications
