Description 

Discrete Non – Incendive Barriers are used for Hazardous Locations.  

This module is designed to provide isolation to enable circuits beyond the module to be rated as 

non-incendive. It is typically used on “discrete” inputs to PLC’s to allow the use of non-explosionproof wiring and end devices in Class I Division 2 Groups, A, B, C and D Hazardous Locations. The barrier is suitable for use with all gases when located outside of the hazardous location and with gases having ignition temperatures of 160o C or higher when located in the Class I Division 2 Hazardous Locations. The barrier must be located in an enclosure suitable for the location. The use of a weatherproof enclosure is recommended when the barrier is located in the Hazardous Area. 

Features: 

• Provides non-incendive isolation for circuits up to 24 VDC 

• Eliminates need for expensive explosion proof enclosures for End Field Devices 

• Eliminates costly wiring normally required in Class I, Division 2 locations. 

• DIN rail mountable terminal block style housing 

Typical Applications: 

Class I, Division 2 Locations in: 

• Oil Refineries 

• Gas Processing Plants  

•  Oil and Gas Production Facilities 

• Petrochemical Plants 

• Pipeline Facilities 

• Sewage Treatment Facilities 

Product Stage: Mass Production
