DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION
These shunt diode, safety barriers are one channel devices
which pass a unidirectional signal (D.C.) and limit the energy to a
level that cannot ignite an explosive atmosphere.
Approvals include FM, UL and CSA.

Remove the Packing List and verify that you have received all
equipment. If you have any questions about the shipment,
please call the OMEGA Customer Service Department at
1-800-622-2378 or (203) 359-1660. When you receive the
shipment, inspect the container and equipment for any signs of
damage. Note any evidence of rough handling in transit. Immediately report any damage to the shipping agent.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Location: Barriers must be installed and grouped in a non-
hazardous location. If necessary to locate in a hazardous area,
barriers must be mounted in a suitable enclosure which, along
with its installation, must be suitable for that location.
Environment: Environment:
Environment: The operating temperature range for these
Environment: Environment:
barriers is -40°F to +140°F (-40°C to +60°C). They should be
mounted in a clean, dry environment and be well ventilated, so
that the maximum temperature is not exceeded. If an enclosure
is used, it must be suitable for the location.
Earth Connection:Earth Connection:
Earth Connection: The bracket on which the barrier is mounted
Earth Connection:Earth Connection:
must be connected to an earth ground. Grounding should be
adequate for conduction of line-generated fault currents and
should have a resistance of less than one ohm. (See Figures 1
and 2.)

INSTALLATIONINSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
INSTALLATIONINSTALLATION
It is expected that the installation will be in accordance with ISA RP-
12.6, NEC Chapters 5 and 7 and FM Standards
Approval. The following specific points should be kept in mind:
WARNING
• Check that the barrier is of specified type and polarity.
• For multiple barrier installation, the barrier's safe area sides
should face one side of the enclosure and the intrinsically safe
sides should face the opposite side (see Fig. 1). Wiring must be
channeled and segregated as shown, so that no mis-wiring can occur
during servicing, testing or when replaced.
• Connect hazardous area equipment to terminals marked "3" and "2"
(Fig. 3). Common, commercially available signal wire may be used
provided its capacitance and inductance are below the following
maximum values:

INSPECTIONINSPECTION
INSPECTION
INSPECTIONINSPECTION
A routine inspection should be made at intervals of not more than
two years. Harsh locations should be inspected more frequently to:
1. Check integrity of earth grounding (Less than one ohm).
2. Check unit labeling for legibility.
3. Check all interconnections for good electrical connections.
CautionCaution
Caution
CautionCaution
Never conduct tests while circuit is active. Use of
instruments between input and output will bypass barrier.
TESTINGTESTING
TESTING
TESTINGTESTING
• All testing is to be done with circuit inactive and all but earth
grounding disconnected.
• With a suitable ohmmeter (resolution to 1 ohm), measure the
resistance between terminals 1 and 3. The total resistance readings shown in
Table 2 Table 2
Table 2 indicate a good unit.
