For hazardous applications, the following must be met:
Uo ≤ Ui
Io ≤ Ii
Po ≤ Pi
Co ≥ Ci + Ct
Lo ≥ Li + Lt
Uo/Io/Po/Co/Lo are IS barrier output parameters;
Ui/Ii/Pi/Ci/Li are RigRat input parameters;
Ct/Lt are extension cable additional parameters.
RigRat switch port IS parameters:
Ui=30V
Ii= 100mA
Pi=0.75W
Ci=0nF.
Li=0uH
Cover Communication Ports When Not In Use
Whenever a port is not in use, make sure the port is covered. This keeps the contacts clean and
prevents inadvertent short-circuiting. Finger-tighten the covers, but do not use tools.
8. External Filter
The External Filter (P/N: W03-3006-000) is designed to prevent debris from entering the RigRat in dirty
or dusty environments. Replace the filter when it appears dirty.
Filter Replacement (Pumped)
The external filter is located on the rear of the RigRat:
1. Turn off the RigRat.
