4 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
4 .1 Location
The MTL831C/MTL831C-PS can be installed in either safe or hazardous areas
(including Zone 0) depending upon the requirements of the application.
4 .2 Mounting options
The MTL831C/MTL831C-PS must be mounted on a vertical plane on vertical
or horizontal DIN rail to meet accuracy specifications. Heat sources causing a
temperature gradient in the MTL831C/MTL831C-PS may cause accuracy outside
of specifications. The unit can be mounted on T-section DIN-rail. Eaton has a range
of enclosures - ENC8, ENC8-SS, ENC83 or ENC83-SS - to provide suitable IP67
protection if the transmitter is located in an exposed area.
4 .2 .1 Mounting on T-section DIN-rail
To install, tilt the MTL831C/MTL831C-PS to the left and hook to the left side of the
standard 35mm DIN46277 T-section rail. Push to the right and allow the unit to rotate
down to sit flat on the DIN Rail. Allow it to spring back to the left and the right side
will hook to the DIN Rail.
To remove, push the MTL831C/MTL831C-PS to the right and tilt the right side away
from the DIN Rail. While tilted, allow it to spring back to the left and remove from
the DIN Rail.
