1 OVERVIEW
This manual relates to Version 2 and later Fieldbus Barrier enclosures. For details of
earlier versions refer to manual INM9370-SS-1.
(The version number is below the bar code on the product label on the right-hand
inside wall of the enclosure.)
This manual explains the installation and maintenance procedures for the
937x-FB-XX-SS Fieldbus Barrier enclosures and must be read in association with the
product datasheets that contain the electrical data.
The 9371-FB-XX-SS and 9373-FB-XX-SS Fieldbus Barrier enclosures are field-mounted
wiring hubs that create six or twelve intrinsically safe spur connections, respectively,
from a single non-intrinsically safe trunk, for connection to Foundation™ fieldbus H1
fieldbus instruments. The incoming fieldbus trunk and the output spurs may optionally be
fitted with surge-protection devices.
The enclosure material is electrochemically polished 316 stainless steel and may be
installed in a Zone 1 or Zone 2 hazardous area.
The following enclosure types are available by ordering the appropriate model number.
9371-FB-XX-SS Fieldbus Barrier system, 6-spur, stainless steel enclosure
9373-FB-XX-SS Fieldbus Barrier system, 12-spur, stainless steel enclosure

2 DESCRIPTION
The model numbers given comprise a stainless steel, increased safety, Ex e enclosure
containing one or two carrier-mounted fieldbus barriers. A single barrier module converts
a single, non-intrinsically safe fieldbus trunk into six intrinsically safe (IS) spur connections
for connection to Foundation™ fieldbus H1 fieldbus instruments.
Inside the enclosure, the incoming trunk wiring enters a separate compartment, called
the Trunk Terminal Assembly (TTA) that contains increased safety (Ex e) trunk wiring
terminals. This assembly has a protective cover to deter interference, and carries a
warning to the user about working on trunk wiring without first isolating the power. A
fieldbus Terminator module (part no. 9378-FT) is supplied pre-fitted on the TTA. This is
to remain installed if the enclosure is at the end of the segment. If the incoming fieldbus
trunk will be onward linked to a further node on the segment the terminator can be
removed.
The spurs are galvanically isolated from the trunk allowing the user to choose the type of
grounding scheme most suitable to their system. Spur short-circuit protection is provided
by the barrier and surge protection can also be added on individual outgoing spurs by
the use of individual Spur Surge protection modules (part no. FS32).
An optional Trunk Surge module (part no. 9376-SP) can be plugged into the TTA to
protect the fieldbus barrier against damaging voltage and current surges on the incoming
trunk wiring.
The polished stainless steel enclosures may be installed in a Zone 1 or Zone 2 hazardous
area; in which case, the trunk wiring must be implemented using suitably protected
cable. They provide excellent chemical and moisture resistance and are suitable for use
in a wide range of corrosive environments.
The 937x-FB-XX-SS fieldbus barrier enclosures are bus-powered and they require no
additional power supply in the field. When used with a fieldbus host control system,
power for the trunk MUST be provided only by a supply conforming to IEC 61158-2,
e.g. MTL-Relcom F800 or FPS Series redundant power supplies.
The enclosures are supplied pre–drilled for all trunk and spur cable entries and fitted with
Ex e certified blanking plugs and a breather.
3 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
See Figures 3.1 and 3.2 for the dimensions, fixing locations and cable gland positions
for both enclosure models.
3.1 Mounting overview
Before mounting an enclosure, consider the following points.
a) The permitted ambient temperature range external to the enclosure (–40°C to +70°C)
must not be exceeded. Avoid radiant heat by locating the enclosure away from
direct sunlight or local sources of heat.
b) The enclosure has an ingress protection rating of IP65 (to EN60529) so the mounting
location should be chosen to comply with this rating.
c) The enclosure is designed for mounting on a vertical surface, with the cable entry at
the lowest point, as shown in the upper part of Figure 3.1 or Figure 3.2.
d) Adequate security should be provided against unauthorised interference.
e) All the necessary gland holes have been prepared in the enclosure. One has a breather
fitted and the others are fitted with appropriate blanking plugs. Where the blanking
plugs are replaced by cable gland, the fitted glands must be Ex e certified and have an
ingress protection (IP) rating that maintains the overall rating of the enclosure.
f) All cable gland holes must be fitted with either a suitable cable gland or blanking
plug.

CAUTION
It is not permitted to create additional holes in the enclosure as this would
violate the certification.
3.2 Preparation
a) Remove any temporary protection or packing materials.
b) The enclosure can be mounted on any suitable structure using the enclosure’s integral
mounting brackets.
c) The fixing bolts must be suitable for the mounting surface and the environmental
conditions.
d) Prepare holes in the mounting surface, on the centres shown in Figure 3.1 or 3.2, to
accept suitable screws/bolts for mounting.
e) It is advisable before mounting, to do any necessary replacement of the cable entry
blanking plugs with a suitable gland. For further details see Section 3.1 e) & f).
3.3 Mounting
CAUTION
To minimise the risk of ignition by electrical apparatus in hazardous areas,
efficient installation, inspection and maintenance of apparatus and systems is
essential, and the work should be carried out by suitably trained personnel in
accordance with the prevailing code of practice.
The certification documents specify “Conditions for safe use” that must be
adhered to and the copy certificate supplied should be studied and understood.
Additionally it is recommend that a working knowledge of IEC EN 60079 -14
be attained, as this standard provides guidance in respect to the installation
of electrical equipment in hazardous areas.
3.3.1 Fixing the enclosure to a surface
The enclosure can be used as a template. With help from at least one other person,
hold it in the position required and mark the surface through the top slotted lugs only
(as shown in Figures 3.1 and 3.2). Open up these hole positions to a suitable size and
depth.
For concrete/masonry
a) Fit washers onto two expanding fixing bolts and screw the bolts into prepared holes
to a depth that will allow the enclosure to be safely hung on them.
b) Support the enclosure on these top bolts and mark the lower fixing points on the
mounting surface through the mounting lugs.
c) Remove the enclosure and put it to one side. Open up, to a suitable size and depth,
the hole positions that were marked on the mounting surface.
d) Re-hang the enclosure on the top bolts and fit the bottom fixing bolts (and washers)
for the lower lugs and secure them.
e) Finally, tighten all fixing bolts to the manufacturers recommended torque value.
For a steel structure
a) After marking and preparing the top holes, put the enclosure in position and fix it
with bolts, washers and nuts.
b) Drill through the holes in the bottom lugs and fit the fixing bolts as for the top lugs.
After mounting the enclosure
Check that:
• it has not suffered any damage,
• the IP rating is not affected; for example, by distortion of the enclosure,
• the mounting bolts/nuts are all tightened as recommended above.

4 INITIAL ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
WARNING!
Before starting any electrical installation work, ensure that the incoming
trunk connection is isolated from any source of power.
CAUTION
Enclosure temperatures could rise to 75°C. Ensure that all cables and cable
glands fitted are rated to withstand these temperatures.
4.1 Overview
Obtain access to the contents of the enclosure by removing the lid which is secured to the
body of the enclosure by captive screws. Loosen these screws to obtain entry.
CAUTION
The lid is connected to the enclosure body with a protective grounding cable.
DO NOT leave the lid hanging by this link cable while work is carried out!
• The enclosure receives power from the incoming trunk cable and requires no further
source of power.
• The equipment shall only be powered from supplies conforming to IEC 61158.
• Type ‘A’ fieldbus cable is recommended for fieldbus trunk connections.
• The terminal blocks for the trunk fieldbus cables have either screw terminal connectors
or cage clamp connectors according to the enclosure model specified, but both are
suitable for cables from 0.5mm2/AWG 20 up to 2.5mm2/AWG 14.
Check all blanking plugs and cable glands are tightened to ensure at least an IP65 rating.
For details of the enclosure wiring for the two system types see Appendix 1.
4.2 Grounding
Two distinct ground concepts should be recognised before wiring of the enclosure begins:
a) Local protective earth-ground - mandatory
b) Cable shield
These two concepts and their implementation are explained below.
4.2.1 Protective local ground
This ground connection is required to ensure that any exposed metal work in, or on, the
enclosure does not present a hazard to personnel; it also provides a low impedance
earth grounding circuit for any surge protection items used in the enclosure. An external
M10 earth-grounding stud is provided on the side wall of the enclosure to enable a
connection to be made to the local ground.
Use a ring terminal to make a good quality, plant safety earth connection
(4mm2 cross-sectional area or better) to this bolt and tighten it to a recommended torque
of 5Nm.
Note: It is important to prevent this connection from loosening and also to protect it from
corrosion against the stainless steel grounding stud.
4.2.2 Cable shield ground
The cable shield is normally electrically isolated from the protective earth ground,
although the two may be deliberately interconnected in some grounding arrangements.
The cable shield wiring of the trunk and spur cables should be connected to the local
terminals marked with an ‘S’.
The enclosures can be configured by the user to either of two grounding methods. The
user should adopt the one that conforms to their system’s normal grounding method.
6
INM9370-SS-2
Oct 2010
Whichever method is used, it is important to connect the screen/shield to a ground at
only one end of the cable.
The following options are available to the user.
WARNING!
The following may involve changes to wiring in the Trunk Terminal Assembly.
No part of the Trunk Terminal Assembly may be worked while the enclosure
is powered, unless the environment is known to be non-hazardous.
4.2.2.1 Single point of grounding at host; trunk & spur shields interconnected
Figure 4.1 - Option 1
In many installation, the preferred method of grounding is to ground the fieldbus cable
shields at one point only, normally at the fieldbus power supply. In this case, the trunk
and spur cable shields are connected to each other at the Fieldbus Barrier and are not
connected to ground in the field. For this arrangement, connect the carrier shield ground
wire (marked A) into Terminal 2.
Note: this is the default grounding method for factory-supplied 937x-FB enclosures.
4.2.2.2 Trunk shield grounded at host; spur cable shields grounded at barrier
Figure 4.2 - Option 2
With this arrangement, the fieldbus trunk shield is separated from the spur cable shields.
It should be adopted if plant or local regulations require that the spur cable shields be
grounded at the Fieldbus Barrier. For this arrangement, connect the carrier shield ground
wire (marked A) into Terminal 3.
Note: After configuring the required grounding option, tighten all screw terminals to a
recommended torque of 0.6 Nm.
4.3 Trunk connections
Each enclosure is provided with two access holes for trunk glands; one for the incoming
trunk and another for onward linking to an additional enclosure, if necessary.
WARNING!
No part of the Trunk Terminal Assembly may be worked while the enclosure
is powered, unless the environment is known to be non-hazardous.

INM9370-SS-2
Oct 2010
4.3.1 Trunk Terminal Assembly
Inside the enclosure, the trunk cables are terminated in a Trunk Terminal Assembly (TTA).
This is a sub-enclosure with a protective lid, secured with a single screw. This assembly,
together with its warning label, is intended to deter a user from working on the trunk
connections without isolating trunk power. See Figure 4.6.
Trunk cables enter via glands, through the enclosure wall shown at the bottom of the
diagram, and the grounding stud is accessible on the lower left side. The trunk terminal
connectors are in the middle of the assembly to receive the trunk wiring.
Depending upon model type chosen, the enclosure will accommodate 6 or 12 spurs.
Terminals are provided to allow a variety of wiring arrangements, according to the
particular requirements of the installation:
– “Trunk In” cable only
– “Trunk In” and “Trunk Out” cables
– Active and spare “Trunk In” cables
– Active and spare “Trunk In” cables with overall cable shield
– Active and spare “Trunk In” cables and “Trunk Out” cable
CAUTION
The ‘+’ and ‘–’ wires of a ‘spare’ trunk in cable must be connected only to
terminals marked ‘NC’. This ensures that the spare cable is not electrically
connected in parallel with the ‘active’ trunk in or trunk out cables. The cable
shield of the spare cable should be connected to an ‘S’ terminal.
All ‘spare’ trunk-in connections (‘+’, ‘–’ and shield) must be firmly grounded
at the host.
4.3.2 Permitted enclosure combinations
The maximum number of intrinsically safe spurs that can be supported per segment
using 9370-FB Series Fieldbus Barriers is 12. A 12-spur enclosure (9373-FB) will
therefore always require a fieldbus terminator (9378-FT) to be fitted to the Trunk Terminal
Assembly.
The permitted enclosure combinations are shown in Figure 4.5. See also Figure 4.6 and
Section 4.4.
Connect the trunk cable(s) in the following way.
a) Loosen the captive screw of the transparent protective cover on the TTA. Slide out the
cover and move it to one side to obtain access.
b) Prepare the trunk cable(s) in accordance with the gland manufacturer’s instructions
and secure the cable(s) in the gland(s). Ensure that the cables are not strained.
c) Connect the prepared ends of the fieldbus trunk cable(s) into the appropriate ‘+’
, ‘–‘ and ‘S’ terminals, shown in Figure 4.7, and tighten the screw terminals to a
recommended torque of 0.6 Nm.
Note: Figure 4.7 shows the screw-terminal ‘-PS’ enclosure option, but the ‘-PC’ cage-
clamp terminal arrangement is similar.
Check Section 4.2.2 to confirm that the chosen fieldbus-ground option is correctly
wired, and adjust if necessary.
d) Replace the transparent protective cover over the terminal block and secure it with
the retaining screw to a recommended torque of 0.6 Nm.

4.4 Trunk Terminator module 9378-FT
If the enclosure provides the last (or only) spur connections on the segment, the trunk
must be terminated correctly to ensure that the optimum signal quality is maintained. The
Trunk Termination Assembly (TTA) has provision for an 9378-FT Terminator module to
be fitted when required.
NOTE
A terminator should be used only at the end points of the trunk wiring. Connecting
a terminator at any other point on the trunk will degrade the signal.
The 9378-FT is a two-pin module that plugs into the upper end face of the Trunk
Terminator Assembly. See Section 5.3 for fitting and removal details.
4.5 Trunk Surge module 9376-SP
The 9376-SP Trunk Surge module can be fitted to the TTA to prevent damage to the
equipment from voltage and current surges that could occur on the trunk wiring.
The 9376-SP is a four pin module that plugs into the upper end face of the Trunk
Terminator Assembly. See Section 5.4 for fitting and removal details.
4.6 Spur connections
Refer to Figures 4.8 for additional details.
The spur cables can be connected directly onto the fieldbus barrier carrier or through a
Spur Surge module (FS32).
If Spur Surge modules are not being used, sub-section 4.6.2 can be ignored.
4.6.1 Connecting the spur cables
Prepare the spur cables in accordance with the gland manufacturer’s instructions and
secure the cables in the glands.
IMPORTANT
• When fitting the cable in the gland allow 20 – 30mm of available cable length
outside the enclosure to allow for cable adjustment if a Spur Surge module is taken
out of circuit inside the enclosure. See Section 5.5.1 for further details
• Cable ferrules must be fitted to any stranded cable or screen wiring that is being used.
Connect the prepared ends of the fieldbus spur cables into the ‘+’, ‘S’ and ‘–’ terminals
on the carrier (or surge module, if fitted), making sure that the same polarity is observed
for all spurs.
4.6.2 Fitting FS32 Spur Surge modules
Spur Surge modules are pluggable units that integrate easily with the standard pluggable
connector and which direct excessive spur surge currents to the protective local ground.
Figure 4.9 - FS32 Spur Surge module on carrier
11
INM9370-SS-2
Oct 2010
To fit an FS32:
1. Unscrew the two captive screws securing the standard pluggable connector (supplied
on the carrier) and remove it from its socket.
2. Insert the FS32 module into the now vacant socket on the carrier, tighten the two side
securing screws and the central “protective ground” screw, to a recommended torque
of 0.4 Nm.
3. Fit the connector (removed at Step 1 above) into the socket on the FS32 and tighten
its two securing screws also to a recommended torque of 0.4 Nm.
Removal of a Spur Surge module is the reverse of the fitting process. See also Section
5.4.1 on page 14 for information on cable ‘adjustment’ if one of these modules is taken
out of use.
4.7 Final checks
Before replacing the lids on the enclosure, check:
• that all cable glands and any blanking plugs are tightened securely.
• that there are no loose cable ends that could cause an open or short circuit.
• that the protective trunk wiring cover is in place on the Trunk Terminal Assembly.
• that no tools (e.g. screwdrivers) or loose items have been left in the enclosure.
• that there is no damage to any cover seal, otherwise it must be replaced with one
that has the same manufacturer’s part number.
• that if, and only if, the enclosure is the last one on the fieldbus segment, that a
9378-FT Terminator module is fitted into the socket on the TTA.
• that the required grounding link is securely connected between the enclosure lid and
the enclosure body.
Fit the enclosure lid and tighten all of its securing screws to a recommended torque of
2.5 Nm.
5 MAINTENANCE
When the enclosure is installed in a hazardous area it is important for personnel to understand
what activities are permissible when fieldbus power is present and what are not.
WARNING!
Read and understand what work is permitted inside the enclosure. Failure to
comply with these instructions can endanger the lives or health of personnel
and risk damage to the plant and the environment.
5.1 General
The following items in the enclosure may be removed or disconnected while the trunk is
still powered.
• 9377-FB Fieldbus Barrier module(s)
• 9378-FT Terminator module
• 9376-SP Trunk Surge module
• FS32 Spur Surge modules and any spur wiring
All other wiring in the enclosure requires the trunk power to be isolated, or a gas
clearance certificate to be obtained before any work is carried out.

5.2 Fieldbus Barrier - fitting and removal
The 9377-FB Fieldbus Barrier module(s) may be fitted or removed without the need to
isolate trunk power. The trunk connections to the barrier module on the carrier have
spark suppression by design and cannot cause ignition while they are being connected
or disconnected.
Figure 5.1 - Fieldbus Barrier module – fitting & removal
Fitting a Fieldbus Barrier module (refer to Figure 5.1)
Note: Before fitting a 9377-FB Fieldbus Barrier module check the connection pins on its
underside to ensure that they have not been bent or damaged in any way. Do not use,
or attempt to repair, a barrier module that has any of its pins bent or damaged, because
this might affect its safety and invalidate the certification.
a) Engage the locating guides of the 9377-FB Fieldbus Barrier module into the sockets
provided on the carrier and push the module fully into place.
b) Tighten the captive fixing screws on each side and at the top of the module (to a
recommended torque of 0.9Nm) to secure it.
Removing a Fieldbus Barrier module
Figure 5.2 - Safety retaining clip for barrier
a) Loosen the three captive fixing screws on the module to release it. The screws are
spring-loaded and should retract when the thread has disengaged.
b) Slowly pull the 9377-FB Fieldbus Barrier module away from its connections on the
carrier until the safety retaining clip stops further removal. See Figure 5.2.
c) Press the clip towards the module until the barrier is released and can be removed
completely.

5.3 Terminator and Trunk Surge Protection modules
Figure 5.3 - Module connectors and retaining clips
5.3.1 Fitting and removal
Both modules have connectors that are designed to prevent an ignition-capable spark
when the module is installed or removed. The modules are not interchangeable but the
method of installing and removal is the same.
Do not use, or attempt to repair, a module that has any of the pins on its underside
bent or damaged, because this might affect its safety and invalidate the certification.
Figure 5.4 - Mounting a module - e.g. Trunk Surge Protection module
5.3.1.1 Mounting a module
Refer to Figure 5.4.
Orientate the module so that the smaller front clip is facing the user, then:
• lower the module so that the safety retaining clip on the TTA housing fits into the loop
on the module
• locate the terminal pins into their contact sockets on the TTA housing and
• push the module home until front and rear retaining clips engage.
14
INM9370-SS-2
Oct 2010
5.3.1.2 Removing a module
Refer to Figures 5.3 and 5.4 for further information.
Removal is a two-step process that first breaks the electrical connection, followed by the
physical removal of the module from the TTA.
• Press the clip at the rear of the module and tilt the module forward until the clip
disengages at the rear
• Press the front clip and withdraw the module from its socket until it is stopped by the
safety retaining clip
• Press down on the safety retaining clip enough to release it, then pull the module
away from the TTA body without rotating or twisting it.
5.4 Spur connections
All of the spur connections are intrinsically safe and therefore may be live-worked in a
hazardous area without ‘gas clearance’, while complying with normal ‘permit to work’
procedures.
If spur wiring is removed from a connecting plug, ensure that the same polarity is
observed when it is reconnected.
5.4.1 Removing a Spur Surge module & spur cable adjustment
If an FS32 Spur Surge module needs to be removed from circuit, it will probably be
necessary to increase the cable length inside the enclosure slightly to allow the spur
wiring connector to be plugged into the circuit board. Use the following procedure.
a) Loosen the two screws securing the pluggable, spur-wiring connector to the
Spur Surge module and unplug it.
b) Loosen all three of the Spur Surge module’s fixing screws and unplug it from the
carrier.
c) Loosen the spur cable gland.
d) Pull an additional 20 mm (approx.) of additional cable length into the enclosure.
e) Plug the spur connecting plug into its mating socket on the barrier carrier and tighten
the fixing screws to a recommended torque value of 0.4 Nm.
Make any final adjustments to the cable, to avoid any tension, then tighten the spur
cable gland to clamp the cable to retain the IP rating of the enclosure.
5.4.2 Adding a Spur Surge module & spur cable adjustment
If an FS32 Spur Surge module is added, it will probably be necessary to reduce the
cable length inside the enclosure slightly when connecting the spur wiring connector to
the Spur Surge module. Refer also to Section 4.6.1 for further fitting details.
a) Loosen the two screws securing the pluggable, spur-wiring connector to the carrier
and unplug it.
b) Plug the Spur Surge module into the vacant socket on the carrier and tighten the two
fixing screws and its grounding screw, all to a recommended torque of 0.4 Nm.
c) Loosen the spur cable gland.
d) Withdraw approximately 20 mm of the cable length from the enclosure.
e) Plug the spur connecting plug into its mating socket on the Spur Surge module and
tighten the fixing screws to a recommended torque of 0.4 Nm.
Make any final adjustments to the cable, to avoid any tension, then tighten the spur
cable gland to clamp the cable to retain the IP rating of the enclosure.

5.5 Trunk connections
WARNING!
No work is permitted on any part of the Trunk Terminal Assembly while
the enclosure is powered, unless the environment is known to be non-
hazardous.
Gaining access to the contents of the Trunk Terminal Assembly requires the trunk power
to the enclosure to be isolated, or a gas clearance certificate obtained.
Once the conditions are known to be safe, the protective plastic cover of the Trunk
Terminal Assembly (TTA) may be removed. Unscrew its securing screw, slide it out until
it becomes free and then move it to the side to obtain access.
Refer to Section 4.2.1 for additional information about trunk wiring connections.
When any changes or checks have been carried out, ensure there are no loose
implements left inside the TTA before replacing its protective cover. Slide the cover into
its locations and tighten the securing screw to a recommended torque of 0.6 Nm.
5.6 Regular Maintenance checks
Check the general condition of the installation occasionally to ensure that no deterioration
has occurred. At least every two years (and more frequently for harsh, dusty or dirty
environments) check:
• the condition of all wire connections/terminations/screens.
• that all of the fixing and cover screws and blanking plugs are secure and the breather
is clear.
• that there are no signs of damage or corrosion.
• that the level of accumulated dust on the enclosure does not exceed 5mm.
In addition, take advantage of plant maintenance shutdown periods or whenever the
area is known to be non-hazardous, to check wiring quality by confirming that the
dc voltage on the fieldbus trunk, when measured at the enclosure, is >16V. This can be
performed using a multimeter or an FBT-6 fieldbus tester.

6 TROUBLESHOOTING
The Fieldbus Barriers inside the enclosure are fitted with LED indicators to assist the user
in fault identification.
Consult the following tables to understand the meaning of the LED states.
Power LED (Green)
ON OFF
Trunk power applied Insufficient or no trunk power
CAUTION!
The Power LED will not light until the voltage at the barrier has risen to a value of
at least 15.7V, but could remain lit even after the voltage has dropped to around
13.0V. DO NOT assume the Power LED indicates a voltage of 16V or more.
If the green Power LED is not lit, check:
• the polarity and integrity of the trunk cable connections to the enclosure.
• that the d.c. supply powering the incoming trunk is operating correctly.
