Changing the type of protection

If you are installing in Zone 1 / Div. 1, the current outputs and digital outputs of models FCB430/450 and FCH430/450 can be
operated with different types of protection:
• Current output and digital output in the 'intrinsically safe ia / IS' design
• Current output and digital output in non-intrinsically safe design
If a device that is already operational is operated with a different type of protection, the following measures must be
implemented/insulation checks performed in accordance with applicable standards.
Original installation
Zone 1 / Div. 1:
Current outputs and digital outputs in
non-intrinsically safe design
Zone 1 / Div. 1:
Current outputs and digital outputs in
intrinsically safe ia(ib) / IS design
Change from one to two columns
New installation
Zone 1 / Div. 1:
Current outputs and digital outputs in
intrinsically safe ia / IS design
Zone 1 / Div. 1:
Current outputs and digital outputs in
non-intrinsically safe design
Necessary test steps
• 500 V AC/1min or 500 × 1.414 = 710 V DC/1min
Test between terminals A / B, U
V1 / V2 and V3 / V4, and terminals A, B, U
V1, V2, V3, V4 and the housing.
When this test is performed, no voltage flashover is permitted in or on the
device.
• Optical evaluation particularly of the electronic circuit boards, no visible
damage or evidence of explosion.
• Visual inspection, no damage visible on the threads (cover, ½ in NPT cable
glands).
