Ignition protection type intrinsic safety Ex i
Power supply and signal circuit: (termi-
nals 1[+], 2[-] in "Ex-i" electronics com-
partment; with double chamber housing
version in connection compartment)
The intrinsically safe circuits are electrically separated from parts which can be grounded.
The metallic parts of VEGAVIB VB6*.C****Z**** are electrically connected with the earth terminals.
For applications requiring equipment of EPL Ga or EPL Ga/Gb, the intrinsically safe power supply
and signal circuit must correspond to protection class ia.
For applications requiring instruments of type EPL Ga resp. EPL Ga/Gb the VEGAVIB
VB6*.C****Z**** is preferably connected to appropriate equipment with galvanically isolated, intrinsi-
cally safe circuits.
For applications requiring instruments of EPL Gb, the intrinsically safe power supply and signal
circuit can correspond to protection class ia or ib. For connection to a circuit with protection class ib,
the ignition protection type identification is Ex ib IIC T6.
