ATEX and IECEx Safety Instructions for 9377-FB-R
Fieldbus Barrier Module
The following information is in accordance with the
Essential Health and Safety Requirements (Annex II) of the
EU Directive 2014/34/EU [the ATEX Directive - safety
of apparatus] and is provided for those locations where
such requirements are applicable.
General
a) This module must only be installed, operated
and maintained by competent personnel. Such
personnel shall have undergone training, which
included instruction on the various types of
protection and installation practices, the relevant
rules and regulations, and on the general principles
of area classification. Appropriate refresher training
shall be given on a regular basis. [See clause 4.2 of
EN 60079-17].
b) This module has been designed to provide
protection against all the relevant additional hazards
referred to in Annex II of the directive, such as
those in clause 1.2.7.
c) This equipment has been designed to meet the
requirements of EN 60079-0, EN 60079-1, EN
60079-7, EN 60079-11, EN 60079-18 and EN
60079-25.
Installation
a) The installation must comply with the appropriate
European, national and local regulations, which
may include reference to the IEC code of practice
IEC 60079-14. In addition, particular industries
or end users may have specific requirements
relating to the safety of their installations and these
requirements should also be met. For the majority
of installations the Directive 1999/92/EC [the ATEX
Directive - safety of installations] is also applicable.
b) This module can be mounted in a Safe area or a
Zone 2 or Zone 1 hazardous area. When mounted
in a Zone 2 or Zone 1 location the module must
be provided with an enclosure, which offers an
additional degree of protection appropriate to the
area classification.
Unless already protected by design, this module must be
protected by a suitable enclosure against:
i) mechanical and thermal stresses in excess of those
noted in the certification documentation and the
product specification
ii) aggressive substances, excessive dust, moisture
and other contaminants.
Read also the Schedule of Limitations (below) for
any additional or more specific information.
Schedule of Limitations
1) The 9377-FB-R Fieldbus Barrier must plug
into equipment that uses the mating part
of the connector covered by certificates
IECExTUN09.0014U and TUV09ATEX555354U.
2) The component must be housed in an
appropriatedly certified enclosure when used in
hazardous areas. When used in safe areas, the
enclosure must provide ingress protection of at
least IP20.
3) The component is intended to meet the
requirements for temperature class T4 when used
within its certified temperature range.
4) The air temperature inside the external enclosure
around the component must not exeed +75°C
during normal operation.
5) The component shall only be powered from
supplies conforming to IEC 61158.
Inspection and maintenance
a) Inspection and maintenance should be carried out
in accordance with European, national and local
regulations which may refer to the IEC standard
IEC 60079-17. In addition specific industries or end
users may have specific requirements which should
