Warranty
The products of Bronkhorst High-Tech B.V. are warranteed
against defects in material and workmanship for a period of
three years from the date of shipment, provided they are
used in accordance with the ordering specifications and the
instructions in this manual and that they are not subjected to
abuse, physical damage or contamination. Products that do
not operated properly during this period may be repaired or
replaced at no charge. Repairs are normally warranteed for
one year or the balance of the original warranty, whichever is
the longer.
See also paragraph 9 of the Conditions of Sales.
The warranty includes all initial and latent defects, random
failures, and indeterminable internal causes.
It excludes failures and damage caused by the customer,
such as contamination, improper electrical hook-up, dropping
etc.
Re-conditioning of products primarily returned for warranty
service that is partly or wholly judged non-warranty may be
charged for.
Bronkhorst High-Tech B.V. prepays outgoing freight charges
when any part of the service is performed under warranty,
unless otherwise agreed upon beforehand. However, if the
product has been returned collect to Bronkhorst High-Tech
B.V., these costs are added to the repair invoice. Import
and/or export charges, foreign shipping methods/carriers are
paid for by the customer.

1 INTRODUCTION
The Ex-proof modules have been designed for powering and signal conversion of intrinsic safe meters.
Furthermore a valve drive circuit may be incorporated in the system. The output stage for the valve can,
depending on the limits of the valve also be made intrinsically safe by using an isolating repeater. Without
isolating repeater a valve with “II 2 G (ATEX group and category) - Ex e mb II T4” (Cenelec) classification can
be powered. With isolating repeater a valve with ” II 1 G/D (ATEX group and category) - Ex ia IIC T6” (Cenelec)
classification can be powered.
Note: Readout units with its I.S. isolators should be situated outside zone 2.

4 Cables
4.1 Introduction
An average two-wire cable has a capacity of 120 pF per meter and an inductivity of 0.67 µH/m.
For 100 m cable this results into:
= 12 nF
= 67 µH
4.2 The transmitter supply unit for flow sensors
If we take 100 m two-wire shielded 0,25 mm
= 12 nF
= 67 µH
= 15.8 Ω (loopresistance)
= 67/16 = 4,2 µH/Ω
For safety this is no problem.
At 20 mA the voltage loss over the cable is:
4.3 The control board with XC coil
For the XC coil the capacity and inductivity is not important, but the voltage loss is the limiting factor.
The maximum voltage output of the controller is 14 Vdc.
For a two-wire shielded cable we don't want to allow more than 1 Volt loss.
So, on the coil
will be 13 Volt.

V = I x R = 0,02 x 15.8 = 0,3 V

4.4 Control system with XB-coil
For the XB-coil the calculation is as follows:
Because the capacity and inductivity are negligible, these can be left out of the calculation.
Resistance of the XB-coil = 300 Ω
Max. control voltage from the control circuit: 25 Vdc
It has to be possible that the coil gets at least 11 Vdc, so:
I =
The maximum output of the isolating repeater is 11,5 Vdc (at 25 Vdc input).
For cable losses is left : 11,5 - 11 = 0,5 Vdc
0,25 mm

gives 1,6 Ω per 10 m, so the max. cable length is 13,5 x
= 37 mA
= 84 m.
4.5 Standard cables for Bronkhorst HI-TEC equipment
NB: Cable capacity and inductivity are negligible.
4.6 EMC and Intrinsic safe circuits
Screens in cables used for intrinsic safe circuits should be earthed at one point only. For good EMC behaviour
however, it is essential that the point of earthing is chosen according to the setup at which the system was
tested.
Follow the guidelines for electrical hook-up of sensors (flow) and valves (XC, XB).
