APPENDIX 1
FM Approval for use in the USA and
cFM Approval for use in Canada
A1.0 Factory Mutual Approval
For installations in the USA and Canada, the
BA448CF-F has FM and cFM intrinsic safety and
nonincendive
approval,
project
identifications
3027031 and 3027031C. Copies of the
Certificates of Compliance are available from
BEKA associates sales office and www.beka.co.uk
A1.1 Intrinsic safety approval
The BA448CF-F is approved to FM Class 3610
intrinsic safety standard for use in hazardous
(classified) locations. Installations must comply
with BEKA associates Control Drawing CI410-12,
which is attached to this Appendix, ANSI/ISA
RP12.06.01 ‘Installation of Intrinsically Safe
Systems for Hazardous (Classified) Locations’ and
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA70.
Canadian installations must comply with the
Canadian Electrical Code C22.2 and with BEKA
associates Control Drawing CI410-12, which is
attached to this Appendix.
The BA448CF-F has a T4 rating at ambient
temperatures up to +70
o
C and may be used with
the following gases and dusts:
Intrinsic Safety
Division 1 or 2
Class I Group A & B
Group C
Group D
Class II Group E, F & G
Class III
Zone 0, 1 or 2
Class 1 Group IIC
Group IIB
Group IIA
The FM and cFM entity parameters are identical to
the ATEX parameters and, like the ATEX
certification, confirm that the BA448CF-F complies
with the FISCO Field Device requirements
specified in IEC60079-27. The intrinsically safe
system shown in Fig 1 of this manual may
therefore be used for installations in the USA and
Canada, providing the fieldbus power supply,
terminators, Zener barriers and galvanic isolators
are FM Approved for US installations and cFM or
CSA Approved for Canadian installations. All
installations must comply with BEKA associates
Control Drawing CI410-12.
FM and cFM Approvals also allows the BA448CF-
F to be connected to non-FISCO systems using
the entity concept – see section 4.2 of this manual.
A1.2 Nonincendive approval
The BA448CF-F is FM Class 3611 nonincendive
approved allowing it to be installed in Division 2
hazardous (classified) locations without the need
for Zener barriers or galvanic isolators. US
installations
must
comply
with
the
BEKA
associates Control Drawing CI410-13, which is
attached to this Appendix, and with the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA70.
Canadian nonincendive installations must comply
with the Canadian Electrical Code C22.2 and with
BEKA associates Control Drawing CI410-13, which
is attached to this Appendix.
The FM and cFM Nonincendive Approvals also
allow the BA448CF-F fieldbus indicator to be
connected to any appropriately certified FNICO
compliant fieldbus segment.
The BA448CF-F has a T4 rating at ambient
temperatures up to +70ºC and may be used with
the following gases:
Nonincendive
Division 2
Class I Group A & B
Group C
Group D
Zone 2
Class I Group IIC
Group IIB
Group IIA
