Product catalog summary
Overview: The S10 Intrinsically Safe Multiplexer is designed to transfer digital signals from hazardous areas to safe areas efficiently and cost-effectively. It consists of a certified 10-channel transmitter and a safe area 10-channel receiver, using a single pair of cables for both signal transmission and power supply.
Key Features:
  • Compact design with fast response time and simple operation.
  • Power and signal transmission over a single cable pair.
  • Encapsulated electronics for durability.
Certification: The transmitter is ATEX certified to EN 50014:1997 and EN50020:2002, suitable for Zones 1 or 2, Gas Groups IIC, IIB, or IIA, with a temperature class up to T5. Certificate No. Baseefa03ATEX0483.
Specifications:
  • Supply: Transmitter powered through IS Interface; Receiver requires 24VDC (22-30VDC), 400mA max.
  • Operating Range: Up to 2km.
  • Outputs: One changeover volt-free relay contact per channel, rated at 1A @ 30VDC or 110VAC.
  • Response Time: 6.4ms maximum.
  • LED Outputs: 12V via 1kohm resistor, 10mA per LED.
Recommended Interface: Zener Barriers: MTL7715+, MTL7715P+; IS Isolators: MTL.
Construction: The transmitter features a fully encapsulated circuit board in blue resin, while the receiver has a painted mild steel casing. Mounting is facilitated by four M3 clear holes.
Connection: Rising clamp terminals suitable for 1.5mm2 cable.
EMC Compliance: Immunity to EN61000-6-2 and emissions to EN61000-6-4.

Multiplexers-1

S10 Intrinsically Safe Multiplexer Cost effective means of transferring digital signals Compact Fast response time Simple to understand and simple to use Power and signal transmitted on single cable pair Encapsulated electronics The S10 was introduced as the world’s first intrinsically safe Multiplexer and continues to provide a cost-effective solution to a common industrial need. The Multiplexer is sold as a matching pair consisting of a certified 10 channel transmitter and a safe area 10 channel receiver which work together to transfer digital signals from a hazardous area to the safe area over a single pair of cables. The transmitter accepts digital signals from switch or relay contacts in the hazardous area and transmits their status to the safe area receiver. Relay outputs on the receiver unit mirror the change in state of the digital inputs. A single cable pair is used both to transmit the signals from the hazardous area and also provide power to the transmitter
