Testing MTL7742 Barriers

The MTL7742 is a single channel switch/prox input barrier with an 
open collector solid state interface to the safe area equipment. To 
verify correct operation proceed as follows:

a) Connect the barrier as shown in figure 27.
b) Check that the LED is on when the input switch is closed, and 

off when the input switch is open.

8 .3 .3 .3 

Testing MTL7743 Barriers

The MTL7743 is a dual channel switch/prox input barrier, each 
channel with a relay interface to the safe area equipment. To verify 
correct operation proceed as follows:

a) Connect the barrier as shown in figure 28.
b) With an ohmeter, check that the output contacts (terminal 1 & 

2) close when the input switch for channel 1 is closed.

c) Repeat the procedure for channel 2.

8 .3 .3 .4 

Testing MTL7744 Barriers

A dual channel version of the MTL7742, this module provides 
two solid state interfaces for prox/switch inputs. To verify correct 
operation proceed as follows:

a) Connect the barrier as shown in figure 29.
b) Connect power via the power bus
c) Check that the LED is on when the input switch is closed for 

channel 1, and off when the input switch is open for channel 1.

d) Repeat the procedure for channel 2.

8 .3 .3 .5 

Testing MTL7745 Barriers

This module is a single channel interface for prox/switch inputs 
with line fault detection. To verify correct operation proceed as 
follows:

a) Connect the barrier as shown in figure 30.
b) With an ohmeter, check the status of the output contacts 

according to Table 3

Tests for MTL774x 

The MTL774x range are switch/prox input barriers with a choice of 
changeover relay contacts or a solid state switch acting as the safe 
area interface. Relay contacts provide a universal interface capable 
of switching a wide range of signals including ac, low level and 
high level voltages. Phase reversal is achieved by connecting the 
normally open or normally closed contacts as required. The solid 
state switch variants can be configured to switch from a power 
rail or down to ground and makes these barriers ideal for high 
switching frequency applications.

When testing bus powered barriers use either an MTL7798 Power 
Feed module or an MTL7799 dummy barrier for direct ‘feed-
through’ connection of a 24V dc supply.

8 .3 .3 .1 

Testing MTL7741 Barriers

The MTL7741 is a single channel switch/prox input barrier with 
changeover relay contacts acting as the safe area interface. To 
verify correct operation proceed as follows:

a) Connect the barrier as shown in figure 26.
b) With an ohmeter, check that the output contacts (terminal 5 & 

6) close when the input switch is closed.
