MTT MS3121 Terminal Block Type PT Transmitter

The MTT MS3121 is a terminal block type PT transmitter with two independent, isolated outputs. It reads an AC voltage input from a potential transformer and converts it into two separate standard DC signals. It accepts 0~110V AC, 0~150V AC, or 0~300V AC at 50/60Hz, with input resistance of 1MΩ minimum, tolerating 120% of rated input continuously and 150% of rated input for up to 5 seconds, with a maximum crest factor of 3.

Output 1 and output 2 are independently isolated and configurable to 0~20mA DC, 4~20mA DC, or 0~10mV to ±10V DC (multiple voltage ranges) – useful when one signal needs to feed a PLC and a second, separate signal needs to feed a recorder or indicator at the same time. Output load is up to 750Ω for a single 4~20mA output, or 550Ω (output 1) and 350Ω (output 2) when both are used; voltage output load is 2mA max for 1V+ spans, 10kΩ min for a 10mV span, and 100kΩ min for a 100mV span. Zero and span are each adjustable by ±5% of span.

Accuracy is better than ±0.25% of span (at least 10% input, 25°C±5°C), with temperature effect better than ±0.2% of span per 10°C and response time of 400ms max (0-90%). CMRR is 100dB minimum, with 4-way isolation between input, output 1, output 2, and power.

Power supply is flexible: 100-240V AC (85-264V AC, 47-63Hz) at approximately 6.5VA, 24V DC ±10% at approximately 1.6W, or 110V DC (90-121V DC) at approximately 2.5W. The unit mounts on DIN rail, in an ABS resin (UL 94V-0) housing measuring 49.8mm × 102.0mm × 40.0mm and weighing under 140g.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MS3121 used for?
It reads AC voltage from a potential transformer, calculates its true RMS value, and converts it into two independent, isolated DC outputs, so one voltage reading can feed two separate systems — for example a control panel and a monitoring or recording device.

Can the MS3121 be used with AC power instead of 24V DC?
Yes. The MS3121 accepts 100-240V AC, 24V DC, or 110V DC, so it can be powered directly from panels that don’t have a dedicated 24V DC supply.

What’s the difference between the MS3121 and the MS3021?
The MS3121 gives two independent isolated outputs from one PT input and can run on AC or DC power. The MS3021 is a single-output transmitter powered only by 24V or 12V DC. Choose the MS3121 when the same voltage reading needs to feed two separate devices, or when only AC mains power is available at the panel.

Does the MS3121 give a true RMS reading on distorted voltage waveforms?
Yes. The MS3121 calculates true RMS, not just average voltage, so it stays accurate on non-sinusoidal voltage from generators or switchgear under unbalanced loading.
