Module Installation
Install the Module
This module must be used with a 1797-TB3 or 1797-TB3S intrinsically-safe
terminal base unit.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A industrial equipment
according to IEC/CISPR Publication 11. Without appropriate
precautions, there may be potential difficulties ensuring
electromagnetic compatibility in other environments due to
conducted as well as radiated disturbance.
This equipment is supplied as open-type equipment. It must be
mounted within an enclosure that is suitably designed for those
specific environmental conditions that will be present and
appropriately designed to prevent personal injury resulting from
accessibility to live parts. The interior of the enclosure must be
accessible only by the use of a tool. Subsequent sections of this
publication may contain additional information regarding specific
enclosure type ratings that are required to comply with certain
product safety certifications.

1. Rotate keyswitch (1) on terminal base unit (2) clockwise to position 1 as
required for this type of module.
Do not change the position of the keyswitch after wiring the
terminal base unit.
2. Make certain the flexbus connector (3) is pushed all the way to the left to
connect with the neighboring terminal base/adapter.
You cannot install the module unless the connector is fully
extended.
3. Make sure the pins on the bottom of the module are straight so they will
align properly with the connector in the terminal base unit.
4. Position the module (4) with its alignment bar (5) aligned with the groove
(6) on the terminal base.
5. Press firmly and evenly to seat the module in the terminal base unit. The
module is seated when the latching mechanism (7) is locked into the
module.
6. Make certain that you only connect terminal base units to other
intrinsically safe system modules or adapters to maintain the integrity of
the intrinsically-safe backplane.
7. Remove cap plug (8) and attach another intrinsically safe terminal base
unit to the right of this terminal base unit if required.
Installation in Zone 1
This module must not be exposed to the environment. Provide a suitable
metal enclosure. This module has a protection factor of IP20.
This module cannot be used in an intrinsically safe
environment after it has been exposed to non-intrinsically
safe signals.

Installation in Zone 22
When the module is installed in Zone 22, the following cabinets must be used:
IVK-ISRPI-V16LC; IVK-ISRPI-V8HYW; or IVK-ISRPI-V8LC. These
cabinets can be purchased from Pepperl+Fuchs GmbH, Lilienthalstrasse 200,
68307 Mannheim, Germany. Information aavailable at
http://www.pepperl-fuchs.com
The IS-RPI cabinets (type IVK2-ISRPI-V8LC, IVK2-ISRPI-V8HYW, or
IVK2-ISPRI-V16LC) ensures the basic protection for the intrinsically safe
apparatus of the FLEX Ex system for use in Zone 22. It corresponds with
category 3D according to RL 94/9 EG and with the type label marked with
the following information:

WARNING
Removal and Insertion Under Power
These modules are designed so you can remove and insert them
under power. However, take special care when removing or
inserting modules in an active process. I/O attached to any module
being removed or inserted can change states due to its input/output
signal changing conditions.
If you insert or remove the terminal base unit while backplane power
is on, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in
hazardous location installations.
Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before
proceeding.
European Community Directive Compliance
If this product has the CE mark it is approved for installation within the
European Union and EEA regions. It has been designed and tested to meet
the following directives.
EMC Directive
These products are tested to meet the Council Directive 2004/108/EC by
applying the following standards:
EN 61000-6-4:2007, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) - Part 6-4:

Inputs
The frequency input module has 2 input channels. Each input can accept
inputs from magnetic pickups or proximity probes. Each input channel has 2
input selections: frequency input or gate input. Do not apply any
nonintrinsically safe signals to this module.
The channels in this module are electrically connected to each other.
When using an intrinsically safe electrical apparatus according to EN
60079-11, the European directives and regulations must be followed.
When interconnecting several lines, you must consider the total
accumulated power and check for intrinsic safety.

Wire the Module
Make wiring connections to the module terminal base unit according to the
wiring table below.
Make certain that you power this module with an intrinsically safe power
supply. Do not exceed the values listed in the specifications for this module.
If you connect or disconnect wiring while the field-side power is on, an
electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location
installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous
before proceeding.
