Isolated Barriers Mounting

Mounting in the Non-Hazardous Area
Mounting the Isolated Barriers on the Termination Board
Mount the barrier as described in the following section. See Figure 3.5
Mounting in Areas that Require the Equipment Protection Level Gc
Danger!
Explosion hazard from insufficient type of protection
The usage of modules with termination boards with insufficient type of protection can cause
sparks or other hazards for potentially explosive atmospheres that can ignite the surrounding
atmosphere.
Only use the modules in the hazardous area if the termination boards are also approved
for the hazardous area.
Danger!
Explosion hazard from live wiring of non-intrinsically safe circuits
If you connect or disconnect energized non-intrinsically safe circuits in a potentially explosive
atmosphere, sparks can ignite the surrounding atmosphere.
Only connect or disconnect energized non-intrinsically safe circuits in the absence
of a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Danger!
Explosion hazard from wrong mounting
The device safety can be impaired by external environmental influences and by mechanical
stress. That can lead to sparking that can ignite a surrounding potentially explosive
atmosphere.
Mount the device in a surrounding enclosure that complies with IEC/EN 60079–0
and that is rated with the degree of protection IP54 according to IEC/EN 60529.
