Preface
What Is Intrinsically Safe?
What are Product
Certifications?
According to Article 504 of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, an
intrinsically safe (I/S) product is defined as one in which no spark or thermal
effect generated during normal functioning and/or during specific fault
conditions is able to ignite a given explosive atmosphere.
One example of an I/S product is FLEX Ex distributed I/O control.
A product certification is a guarantee that the product has been designed and
manufactured with the required I/S specifications and protection. Considering
the potential danger in hazardous locations, product certification is required
for all I/S products.
Three Types of Product Certifications
In this reference manual, we describe three types of product certifications and
how they relate to FLEX Ex products:
• CENELEC - European Electrotechnical Committee for
Standardization. This is the standard in all European Union
countries.
• UL and C-UL - Underwriters Laboratories (UL in the United States
and C-UL in Canada)
• FM - Factory Mutual, another available certifying body in the United
States
What are Entity
Parameters?
FLEX Ex products are certified to the appropriate CENELEC, UL, C-UL and
FM standards, depending on the module.
Entity parameters provide a system of quantifying and matching safe levels for
voltage, current, inductance, and capacitance when connecting field devices
and system devices together.
FLEX Ex uses entity parameters to quantify safe levels when connecting I/O
modules to field devices. Inputs and outputs are specified with:
• open-circuit voltage (U
• short-circuit current (I
• allowed capacitance (C
• allowed inductance (L
Switched outputs are specified as if they were inputs.
Field devices using entity parameters are specified with:
• maximum input voltage (U

The following sections describe key terms used in this reference manual:
Hazardous Area Designation
A hazardous area is designated as any location in which a combustible material
is or may be present in the atmosphere in sufficient concentration to produce
an ignitable mixture.
The North American method identifies these areas by Class, Division, and
Group while the IEC (CENELEC) designates these areas by Zone and Gas
Group.
Recently, North America has adopted the Zone method of identifying
hazardous locations as an option to the Division method.
Class Designation
Class identifies the type of hazardous atmosphere.
Class IGas or vapor
Class IIDust
Class IIIFiber or flying (no group designation)

Use in North American Hazardous Locations
FLEX Ex modules are rated for installation in Class I Division 1 & 2, Groups
A-D hazardous areas. They are also rated to connect to field devices that are
located in Class I, II, or III, Groups A-G hazardous areas.
If FLEX Ex components are to be installed in a Class II or III location in your
application, you can mount them in a suitable, dust-proof enclosure with the
appropriate connectors, glans, and seals. For example, a NEMA 9 enclosure
may be appropriate. The FLEX Ex modules are rated to connect to devices in
Class II or III locations.
FLEX Ex modules are rated for installation in North American Class I Zone 1
& 2, Groups IIC, IIB, & IIA hazardous areas. They are also rated to connect
to field devices that are located in North American Class I Zone 0, 1, & 2,
Groups IIC, IIB, & IIA hazardous areas.
As always, observe local code requirements when applying your FLEX Ex
application.
Use in CENELEC Hazardous Locations
FLEX Ex modules are rated for installation in European Zones 1, 2, and 22.
They are also rated to connect to field devices that are located in European
Zones 0, 1, 2, 21, and 22 hazardous areas. The FLEX Ex power supplies
(1797-PS1E and -PS2E2) are rated for use in Zones 1 and 22.
If FLEX Ex components are to be installed in a European Zone method dust
or fiber location in your application, you must mount them in an approved,
dust-proof enclosure with the appropriate connectors, glans, and seals.
Pepperl+Fuchs have three cabinets that are approved for use with FLEX Ex
components in Zone 22 applications: IVK2-ISRPI-V8LC;
IVK2-ISRPI-V8HYW; and IVK2-ISRPI-V16LC. P+F has offices in
Twinsburg, Ohio, USA, and Mannheim, Germany. See their website at
www.pepperl-fuchs.com.
As always, observe local code requirements when applying your FLEX Ex
application.

FLEX Ex I/O modules must be used with a 1797-TB3 or -TB3S intrinsically
safe terminal base unit.
You will need to rotate the keyswitch (1) to the correct position depending on
the module. Refer to the module’s installation instructions for more
information. Do not change the position of the keyswitch after wiring the
terminal base unit.
Make certain that you only connect terminal base units to other intrinsically
safe system modules, adapters or power supplies to maintain the integrity of
the intrinsically-safe backplane.
Remove cap plug and attach another intrinsically safe terminal base unit to the
right of the terminal base unit (2) if required.

or IVK-ISRPI-V8LC. For more information on these cabinets, see page 1-4.
Protect the system against electrostatic charge. Post a sign near each module:
Attention! Avoid electrostatic charge. For your convenience, a sign which
can be cut out and posted is included in this chapter.
If this product has the CE mark it is approved for installation within the
European Community or EEA regions. It has been designed and tested to
meet the following directives.
