1.4.2b Compliance requirements
The
HygroPro
installation must comply with EN 60079-14
in Europe and with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA
70) or part one of the Canadian Electrical Code (C22.1), as
applicable, in North America. In other regions, additional
local codes may also apply.
1.4.2c Electrical connections
The
HygroPro
transmitter is certified intrinsically-safe
for use in zone 0. However, the external power must be
provided by one of the following methods:
• an isolated, intrinsically-safe, 24 VDC power supply
mounted in the safe area
• an isolated zener barrier mounted in the safe area
and installed between a standard 24 VDC power
supply and the
HygroPro
Refer to "Figure 6" on page 8 for a typical hazardous
(classified) area
HygroPro
wiring diagram. This installation
uses an
MTL706 zener barrier
, in accordance with the
second option listed above.
If using serial communications with a PC, an isolated
RS232-RS485 converter mounted in the safe area between
the computer and
HygroPro
must be used. The converter is
typically powered by its own standard 24 VDC power supply.
WARNING!
Do NOT power an RS232-RS485 converter
from the same intrinsically-safe 24 VDC
power supply used to power the HygroPro.
