INTRINSIC SAFETY BARRIER, EMDR1 SERIE

This galvanically Isolated Electronic Module is the perfect

complement to our Intrinsically Safe Encoders. Together with
our cable assemblies they constitute a completely
engineered solution to operation in Class I and Class II
Division 1 Hazardous Environments. This single barrier
provides both power and signal isolation for an incremental
encoder with a differential quadrature outputs and an
index. This all all-in-one approach saves the cost and
inconvenience of buying separate power and signal
barriers as required by other systems. This barrier is
galvanically isolated and saves the additional cost of
maintaining a high integrity earth ground. With differential
line driver outputs, this barrier can be used to carry signals
up to 500 feet with a bandwidth of up to 250kHz.

Installation must be consistent with BEI Installation Drawing 924-08067-001

NOTES :
1. NON-HAZARDOUS AREA APPARATUS THAT IS UNSPECIFIED EXCEPT THAT IT MUST NOT BE SUPPLIED FROM NOR CONTAIN UNDER
NORMAL OR ABNORMAL CONDITIONS A SOURCE OF POTENTIAL WITH RESPECT TO EARTH IN EXCESS OF 250V R.M.S. OR 250 V.D.C.
2. INTRINSICALLY SAFE ENCODERS: HAZARDOUS AREA APPARATUS THAT IS CERTIFIED TO THE APPROPRIATE CLASS AND GROUP BY THE
CERTIFICATION BODY OF THE COUNTRY OF USE.
3. THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS IN THE HAZARDOUS AREA MUST BE CAPABLE OF SURVIVING A VOLTAGE WITHSTAND TEST OF 500V R.M.S.
TO EARTH OR FRAME OF THE APPARATUS.
4. THE INSTALLATION MUST COMPLY WITH THE REGULATIONS OF THE COUNTRY OF USE.
4a NORTH AMERICAN INSTALLATIONS: INSTALLATION MUST BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE NFPA70,
ARTICLE 504, ANSI/ISA-RP12.6 AND CEC PART 1, APPENDIX F.
5. THE POWER SOURCE MUST BE CONSISTENT WITH PART NUMBER AND OUTPUT TYPE SPECIFIED IN TABLE 3. VOLTAGES GREATER THAN
5% OF THE NOMINAL BARRIER SUPPLY VOLTAGE MAY DAMAGE THE BARRIER.
6. FUSES IN THE BARRIERS MAY RUPTURE IF INPUT VOLTAGE EXCEEDS MAX SUPPLY VOLTAGE (Vs) IN TABLE 3.
7. HAZARDOUS AREA CABLE CAPACITANCE (C cable) AND INDUCTANCE (I cable) ARE CALCULATED BY MULTIPLYING THE CABLE
LENGTH (IN FEET) BY THE NUMBER OF CONDUCTORS BY 60 pF / FT. AND 0.2 uH / FT. RESPECTIVELY. CABLE CAPACITANCE (C cable)
AND INDUCTANCE (I cable) VALUES PLUS Ci AND Li MUST NOT EXCEED VALUES OF Ca (Co) AND La (Lo) DETERMINED BY BARRIER
MANUFACTURER.
8. THIS DESIGN IS CERTIFIED BY UL / DEMKO. NO CHANGES ARE ALLOWED WITHOUT APPROVAL FROM UL / DEMKO OR EQUIVALENT
CERTIFYING BODY.
9. WARNING: SUBSTITUTION OF COMPONENTS MAY IMPAIR INTRINSIC SAFETY. REPAIRS TO BE PERFORMED BY BEI ONLY.
