Application Note

Termination of Class 1 Division 2 Outputs

Underwriters Laboratories Inc have confirmed that suitable non UL recognised termination resistors
may be used in Trusted systems, configured for Class 1 Division 2 applications.

The value of terminating resistors should be sized to provide the minimum load for the type of output
module; be capable of dissipating at least 2.5W and not have a surface temperature in excess of 50
degrees Centigrade above ambient temperature, when operating at maximum applied voltage.

For example, an 8451 requires a minimum load of 50mA, therefore a 680R +/- 5% resistor rated at

2.5W, mounted such that its maximum surface temperature does not exceed 50C above ambient,
when operating at a field voltage of 32Vdc, will comply with the requirements of Class 1 Division 2.

All termination resistors must be mechanically secured into terminal blocks or similar and need the
use of a tool to remove or disconnect them.
