Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I configure the Line Fault Detection on this module?
You can configure Line Fault Detection via the small slide switches located on the side of the plastic housing.
Can I use the module with standard mechanical switches?
Yes, you can use mechanical switches, but you must fit resistors if you require line fault detection.
Does this device require a separate structured ground connection?
No, the MTL5500 series isolates safe area and hazardous area circuits without requiring a high-integrity earth ground.
