4.3 "Ex i" I/O connections
The following intrinsically safe I/O connections are available:
The I/O circuits titled “Ex i IO” , "Ex i Option" and “Ex i Option 2” are always provided with type of
protection Intrinsic Safety (Ex ia). The I/O-circuits “Fieldbus I/O Profibus-PA” as well as “Fieldbus
I/O Foundation Fieldbus” can be provided with type of protection Intrinsic Safety.
Up to a maximum of 4 intrinsically safe (Ex ia) in-/outputs are possible. All intrinsically safe
circuits are galvanically isolated from earth and each other. To avoid summation of voltages and
current, the wiring of these “Ex ia”-circuits must be sufficiently separated, e.g. in accordance
with the requirements of standard EN 60079-14, clause 12.2.
The “Ex ia” in-/outputs may only be connected to other “Ex ia” or “Ex ib” approved devices (e.g.
intrinsically safe isolation amplifiers), even if such devices are installed in a non-hazardous
location!
Connection to non-“Ex i” devices cancels the “Ex ia” properties of the flowmeter.
Terminals L and N (or L+ and L-) for connection of the mains supply are not available with type of
protection “intrinsic safety”. To achieve the necessary separation distances according to EN
60079-11 between the non-”Ex i” and “Ex i” circuits, the mains terminals are provided with a
semi-circular protection cover with a “snap-in” lock. This cover MUST be closed before
establishing the power supply to the converter.
