6 .3 Pulse and Vibration modules
Single and dual channel modules are available to transfer vibration probe signals from a
hazardous area to a safe one. Similarly, pulses from a switch, proximity detector, current pulse
transmitter or voltage pulse transmitter, located in the hazardous area, can be safely transferred
to the safe area.
6 .3 .1
MTL5531 - Vibration Transducer Interface
Single channel
The MTL5531 repeats a signal from a vibration sensor in a hazardous area, providing an output
for a monitoring system in the safe area. The interface is compatible with 3-wire, eddy-current
probes and accelerometers or 2-wire current sensors, and selection of the mode is made with
a switch located on the side of the module

WARNING - Revision status 05 and below*
To enable optimum heat dissipation the recommended orientation for mounting is
with the module vertical, i .e . with the vents in the case at the top and bottom . This
enables air to flow through the module .
In any other orientation, i .e . with the module horizontal, then the maximum ambient
temperature is limited to:
• Close packed = 45°C
• Minimum of 10mm spacing = 55°C
Eaton produce the MS010 DIN rail module spacer for this purpose
(packs of 5 - see Section 4 .3)
