The 7000 series has been categorized by UL as "Process Control Equipment for Use in Hazardous Locations." The barriers are suitable for use in Class I/Division 2, Groups A/B/C/D hazardous locations with intrinsically-safe connections to Class I/II/III, Groups A/B/C/D/E/F/G hazardous locations. MTL barriers are used more often than those of any other manufacturer of Intrinsically Safe Devices, and you may already be aware that Control magazine has once again cited MTL for its Readers' Choice Award - this continues the succession of recognition in 1997, 1998, and 1999. The MTL 7000 Series Barriers offer exceptionally high packing density (.28 in.), about half the size of conventional barriers -- this nearly doubles normal packing density, reduces weight, and delivers a significant savings on cabinet space. Another advantage is the integral disconnet facility for isolating safe and hazardous area circuits. The line can be disconnected without disturbing the wiring just by swinging out the replaceable fuse. This allows significant potential cost savings by enabling the MTL 7000s to function as a field terminal in many instances. Finally, the MTL 7000 Series improves flexibility and reduces installed cost, since the barriers are clamped and grounded simultaneously on a standard DIN-rail.
