Installation notes:
FM / CSA:
For installation in the US the 6350 must be installed according to National Electrical
Code (ANSI-NFPA 70).
For installation in Canada the transmitter must be installed in a suitable enclosure to
meet installation codes stipulated in the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
For installation in Canada different intrinsically safe circuits need to be separated as
outlined in the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC)
The entity concept.
Equipment that is FM / CSA -approved for intrinsic safety may be connected to
barriers based on the ENTITY CONCEPT. This concept permits interconnection of
approved transmitters, meters and other devices in combinations which have not
been specifically examined by FM / CSA, provided that the agency's criteria are met.
The combination is intrinsically safe, if the entity concept is acceptable to the
authority having jurisdiction over the installation.
The entity concept criteria are as follows:
The intrinsically safe devices, other than barriers, must not be a source of power.
The maximum voltage Ui(V
which the device can receive and remain intrinsically safe, must be equal to or
greater than the voltage (Uo or V
which can be delivered by the barrier.
The sum of the maximum unprotected capacitance (C
and the interconnecting wiring must be less than the capacitance (C
safely connected to the barrier.
The sum of the maximum unprotected inductance (L
the interconnecting wiring must be less than the inductance (L
connected to the barrier.
The entity parameters Uo,V
provided by the barrier manufacturer.
FISCO rules
The FISCO Concept allows the interconnection of intrinsically safe apparatus to
associated apparatus not specifically examined in such combination. The criterion for
such interconnection is that the voltage (Vmax), the current (Imax) and the power (Pi)
which intrinsically safe apparatus can receive and remain intrinsically safe,
considering faults, must be equal or greater than the voltage (Uo, Voc, Vt), the
current (Io, Isc, It,) and the power (Po) which can be provided by the associated
apparatus (supply unit). In addition, the maximum unprotected residual capacitance
(Ci) and inductance (Li) of each apparatus (other than the terminators) connected to
the Fieldbus must be less than or equal to 5 nF and 10 µH respectively.
