ETHERNET ISOLATOR
Safety
1.6.3
Intrinsically Safe Wiring and Cable Parameter
Only Ethernet cables which meet the requirements of the EC-type-examination certificate must
be connected to the I.S. port of the Ethernet Isolator.
Special care must be taken about the inductance / resistance-ratio (H/ ) of the used Ethernet
cable, because this value is an indicator for the stored energy within the cable (see chapter
2.4).
The length of the I.S. cable between the two Ethernet Isolators may not ecxeed 100m.
The shield contact of the intrinsically safe port is connected to the shield contact of the non-
intrinsically safe port and the power supply connection within the Ethernet Isolator.
1.6.4
Special Requirements at Low Ambient Temperatures
At an ambient temperature of -40°C to -25°C the Ethernet interface contacts (RJ45) of the
device must not be plugged or un-plugged or mechanically stressed in any other way.
1.7
Transport, Storage and Service
In case of defect, the device must be removed and replaced with a new one.
Store all devices in a clean and dry environment.
1.8
Disposal
Disposal of devices and their packaging material must be performed in compliance with the
applicable laws and guidelines of the corresponding country.
The devices do not contain batteries which need to be disposed of separately from the
products.
