2. Target Group, Personnel
Responsibility for planning, assembly, commissioning, operation,
maintenance, and dismounting lies with the plant operator.
The personnel must be appropriately trained and qualified in order to carry
out mounting, installation, commissioning, operation, maintenance, and
dismounting of the device. The trained and qualified personnel must have
read and understood the instruction manual.
3. Reference to Further Documentation
Observe laws, standards, and directives applicable to the intended use
and the operating location. Observe Directive 1999/92/EC in relation to
hazardous areas.
The corresponding datasheets, manuals, declarations of conformity, EU-
type examination certificates, certificates, and control drawings if
applicable supplement this document. You can find this information under
www.pepperl-fuchs.com.
For specific device information such as the year of construction,
scan the QR code on the device. As an alternative, enter the serial number
in the serial number search at www.pepperl-fuchs.com.
Due to constant revisions, documentation is subject to permanent change.
Please refer only to the most up-to-date version, which can be found under
www.pepperl-fuchs.com.
4. Intended Use
The 8-channel temperature multi-input device is a FieldConnex® process
interface that measures temperature with resistance thermometers (RTD)
or thermocouples (TC). Each channel can be configured independently.
The device is designed for use in intrinsically safe fieldbus systems
according to FISCO or Entity.
Independent of the type of protection of the fieldbus, the sensor inputs
remain intrinsically safe.
Use the device only within the specified ambient temperature range.
5. Improper Use
Protection of the personnel and the plant is not ensured if the device is not
used according to its intended use.
6. Mounting and Installation
Prior to mounting, installation, and commissioning of the device you
should make yourself familiar with the device and carefully read the
instruction manual.
Observe the installation instructions according to IEC/EN 60079-14.
Observe the installation instructions according to IEC/EN 60079-25.
The device may be used as intrinsically safe apparatus.
The device may be used as associated apparatus.
The device may be used as non-sparking apparatus.
If the device has already been operated in general electrical installations,
the device may subsequently no longer be installed in electrical
installations used in combination with hazardous areas.
Do not mount a damaged or polluted device.
6.1. Requirements for Cables and Connection Lines
The dielectric strength of the insulation must be at least 500 V according to
IEC/EN 60079-14.
Observe the permissible core cross section of the conductor.
The insulation stripping length must be considered.
Observe the tightening torque of the terminal screws.
When using stranded conductors, crimp wire end ferrules on the
conductor ends.
The cables and connection lines must not be strained. Provide an
adequate strain relief.
Unused cables and connection lines must be either connected to terminals
or securely tied down and isolated.
6.1.1. F2D0* Requirements for Cable Glands
Only use cable glands that are suitably certified for the application.
Only use cable glands with a temperature range appropriate to the
application.
Ensure that the degree of protection is not violated by the cable glands.
Protect plastic cable glands against mechanical hazard.
6.2. Hazardous Area
6.2.1. Gas
6.2.1.1. Zone 0
The intrinsically safe output circuits may lead into Zone 0.
6.2.1.2. Zone 1
The device may be installed in Zone 1.
For applications in Zone 1, the type of protection must be Ex i.
6.2.1.3. Zone 2
The device may be installed in Zone 2.
For Zone 2 applications, the type of protection must be Ex nA or Ex i.
Connection or disconnection of energized non-intrinsically safe circuits is
only permitted in the absence of a potentially explosive atmosphere.
6.2.2. Type of Protection
6.2.2.1. Type of Protection Ex i
Observe the respective peak values of the field device and the associated
apparatus with regard to explosion protection when connecting intrinsically
safe field devices with intrinsically safe circuits of associated apparatus
(verification of intrinsic safety). Also observe IEC/EN 60079-14 and
IEC/EN 60079-25.
Keep the separation distances between all non-intrinsically safe circuits
and intrinsically safe circuits according to IEC/EN 60079-14.
Intrinsically safe circuits of associated apparatus (installed in non-
hazardous area) can be led into hazardous areas. Observe the
compliance of the separation distances to all non-intrinsically safe circuits
according to IEC/EN 60079-14.
Observe the compliance of the separation distances between two
adjacent intrinsically safe circuits according to IEC/EN 60079-14.
If the device is supplied by a non-intrinsically safe circuit, the separation
wall must be applied to maintain the requirements according to
IEC/EN 60079-11.
Circuits of intrinsically safe apparatus can be led into hazardous areas,
whereby special attention must be paid to maintaining separation
distances to all non-intrinsically safe circuits according to the requirements
in IEC/EN 60079-14.
7. Enclosures
7.1. RD0* Requirements for Housings and Surrounding
Enclosures
The device must be installed and operated only in surrounding enclosures
that
lcomply with the requirements for surrounding enclosures according to
IEC/EN 60079-0,
lare rated with the degree of protection IP54 according to
IEC/EN 60529.
7.2. F2D0* Degree of Protection
Ensure that the surrounding enclosure is not damaged, distorted, or
corroded.
Ensure that all seals are clean, undamaged, and correctly fitted.
Tighten all screws of the surrounding enclosure/surrounding enclosure
cover with the appropriate torque.
For cable glands only use incoming cable diameters of the appropriate
size.
Tighten all cable glands with the appropriate torque.
Close all unused cable glands with the appropriate sealing plugs.
Close all unused enclosure holes with the appropriate stopping plugs.
