NOTES

 THE ENTITY CONCEPT ALLOWS INTERCONNECTION OF INTRINSICALLY SAFE APPARATUS TO ASSOCIATED APPARATUS NOT

SPECIFICALLY EXAMINED IN SUCH COMBINATION. THE CRITERIA FOR INTERCONNECTION IS THAT THE VOLTAGE (Vmax or Ui), THE

CURRENT (Imax or Ii), AND THE POWER (Pmax or Pi) OF THE INTRINSICALLY SAFE APPARATUS MUST BE EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN

THE VOLTAGE (Voc or Uo), AND THE CURRENT (Isc or Io), AND THE POWER(Po) DEFINED BY THE ASSOCIATED APPARATUS. IN ADDITION,

THE SUM OF THE MAX UNPROTECTED CAPACITANCE (Ci) AND MAX UNPROTECTED INDUCTANCE (Li), INCLUDING THE INTERCONNECTING

CABLING CAPACITANCE (Ccable) AND CABLING INDUCTANCE (Lcable) MUST BE LESS THAN THE ALLOWABLE CAPACITANCE (Ca) AND

INDUCTANCE (La) DEFINED BY THE ASSOCIATED APPARATUS. IF THE ABOVE CRITERIA IS MET, THEN THE COMBINATION MAY BE

CONNECTED.

Vmax or Ui  Voc or Uo Imax or Ii  Isc or Io Pmax or Pi  Po Ci + Ccable ≤ Ca Li + Lcable ≤ La

 INSTALLATION MUST BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL WIRING PRACTICES OF THE COUNTRY IN USE.

 LOOPS MUST BE CONNECTED ACCORDING TO THE BARRIER MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.

 IF HAND-HELD COMMUNICATOR OR MULTIPLEXER IS USED, IT MUST BE ATEX APPROVED WITH ENTITY PARAMETERS AND INSTALLED

PER THE MANUFACTURER’S CONTROL DRAWINGS.
