PURPOSE
( full specifications are in the manual for the device )
1. The intrinsically safe barrier BI-3 is designed as a separating device between electrical circuits hazardous and non-hazardous areas of digital measuring transducers (SMART sensors) with current output signals or other devices with digital signal processing and to ensure the reception / transmission of data according to the Bell202 standard between the specified devices and secondary means of measurement and control located in the explosion-proof zone.
2. The BI-3 barrier has input intrinsically safe electrical circuits of the “ib” level and explosion protection marking II (2)G [Ex ib] IIB Gb, which meets the requirements of GOST 12.2.007.0, GOST 22782.0, GOST 22782.5 and is designed for installation in explosion-proof areas and premises.
3. The characteristics of the electrical signals received and generated by the BI-3 barrier correspond to the characteristics of the code (digital) Bell202 signal with frequency modulation.
4. Serial products can be connected to the BI-3 barrier, as well as Certified devices (the presence of a Type Examination Certificate) on explosion protection and permits for use in Ukraine, made with the type of explosion protection “intrinsically safe electrical circuits” according to GOST 22782.5 with protection level “ib”, as indicated by the “X” sign in the explosion protection marking of the barrier.
5. The values of permissible electrical parameters of the external load of such devices should not exceed total inductance and capacitance of the connecting line and its own parameters of the Barrier BI-3.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
1. The intrinsically safe barrier BI-3 provides electrical power to devices located in the explosive zone using an external DC power supply with an output voltage ranging from 10 to 13.5 V, for each device connected to it:
