Field terminals - Mass Termination Assemblies· IDC connectors - save wiring time· Link to high-current output relays· Quick-connect cable adaptersMass Termination AssemblyMass Termination Assemblies (MTAs) offer theuser a number of different ways to terminatefield wiring. Two versions are available,16-pin (8618-FT-MT) and 44-pin (8619-FT-MT),both of which provide IDC multi-pinconnectors instead of screw terminals.Some standard 1, 2 and 3 metre cables, areavailable from MTL to assist the user; otherscan be made to order; or users can puttogether their own custom cables to suit theirspecific wiring termination requirements.The Mass Termination Assemblies areparticularly useful when legacy systems arebeing replaced and connections must bemade to existing field wiring, junction boxesand marshalling cabinets.Mass Termination Assemblies can also beused to interface to signal conditioning units.For example, with devices that require adrive current above the 1A capability of the8115-DO-DC discrete output module, the8618-FT-MT can be used to connect to highcurrentrelays*.Switch/Proximity DetectorWiring PanelThe 8650-FT-PX provides a simple method toterminate up to 32 two-wire field devices. Itis DIN-rail mountable and links to the8619-FT-MT field terminal using a pair ofready terminated, IDC connector cables. Formaximum convenience, there is alsoprovision for cable screens to be terminatedand grounded.Mechanical key codingThis feature is available on these terminals.See the previous page for details.*See Technical Support Note TSN112:“Using the 8115-DO-DC with high-current loads”.Available from: www.mtl-inst.comEUROPE (EMEA) Tel: +44 (0)1582 723633 Fax: +44 (0)1582 422283AMERICAS Tel: +1 603 926 0090 Fax: +1 603 926 1899ASIA PACIFIC Tel: +65 487 7887 Fax: +65 487 7997E-mail: enquiry@mtl-inst.com Web site: www.mtl-inst.comJan 2007
