F30 Exic Adaptor

The F30 Ex ic adaptor enables intrinsic safety protection level Ex ic networks to be assembled, when used in conjunction with 9180 range 8-segment redundant power supplies and F300 range Megablock device couplers. When connected to suitably certified fieldbus instruments in Zone 2 the spurs may be live-worked in accordance with normal intrinsic safety procedures. This solution provides clear separation between the non-arcing (Ex nA) trunk and the intrinsically safe (Ex ic) spurs, avoiding complex wiring rules’ and is compatible with all host H1 control systems.

Simple compliance with Ex ic certification requirements from control room to field
No need to assess energy contribution of host H1 card
Architecture supports Ex nA, Ex d devices and Ex i devices on the same segment
Satisfies FISCO and Entity spur applications
Supports longer trunk cable lengths for FISCO spur applications
