2.1 General 

Safety 

Instructions 

 

WARNING  

Risk of explosion 

A risk of explosion exists if the FC1 is improperly installed 
and connected! 

 

The FC1 must be installed outside of ex-zones 0, 1 and 2. 

 

The FC1 can be equipped with hardware modules that are 
approved as 

associated electrical apparatus

 of category 

ib

 

with intrinsically safe electrical circuits according to 
EN 60079-11 (i.e. input boards with the designation ExMFE5). 
The FC1 is therefore suitable for being connected to 
transmitters, pulse and signal generators that are located in 
hazardous areas (e.g. zone 1). A mixed connection of 
intrinsically safe and non-intrinsically safe circuits to these 
hardware modules is not permitted. 

 

Only intrinsically safe protection class [EEx ib] II C 
temperature and pressure transmitters must be connected to 
the respective ExMFE5 connection terminals.  

 

Only pulse transmitters of protection class [EEx ib] II C must 
be connected to the respective ExMFE5 connection terminals. 

 

All signals from the potentially explosive area (zone 0, zone 1, 
zone 2) that are connected to hardware modules other than 
ExMFE5 must be blocked off by means of appropriate ex-
isolators. 

 

The regulations in the relevant standards, especially 
EN 60079-0, EN 60079-11, EN 60079-17 and EN 60079-25, 
must be obeyed unconditionally.
