Non-Incendive Inputs And Outputs - Mettler Toledo PANTHER Guide D'installation

METTLER TOLEDO PANTHER Panel-Mount Terminal Division 2 Installation Guide
Non-incendive Inputs and
Outputs
2-2 (7/03)
If a specific input or output is rated non-incendive, then a list of the field circuit parameters
for that I/O will be given. If a Division 2 approved apparatus will be connected to a
PANTHER terminal non-incendive input or output, then a comparison must be made
between the field circuit parameters of both devices including the connecting cable. These
field circuit parameters include voltage, current, capacitance and inductance. The two
devices must compare as follows in order for the wiring to be considered non-incendive:
(Maximum voltage permitted) ≥ V
V
max
(Maximum current permitted) ≥ I
I
max
C (Input capacitance) + C
i cable
L (Input inductance) + L
i cable
The field circuit parameters associated with the PANTHER panel-mount terminal are
underlined in the above formulas. The other parameters are related to the other approved
apparatus or the connecting cable.
If the above conditions are not true, then the circuit must be treated as an incendive input or
output and protected accordingly. If the parameters compare favorably as shown above,
then no special protection is required for the wiring. Always refer to the electrical regulations
for the country of installation for specific wiring requirements.
The following inputs and outputs are rated non-incendive on the PANTHER panel-mount
terminal. The field circuit parameters for each I/O are also listed.
