MODIS version IFC 090i-EEx electronics unit
The field cables of the non-intrinsically safe power supply and the intrinsically safe, category "ia" 
signal outputs enter the terminal compartment of the IFC 090i-EEx signal converter unit via two 
separate entrances. To connect external devices to the intrinsically safe signal output terminals, 
the wiring requirements for their type of protection as well as of the compartment (standard: 
increased safety "e", optional: flameproof enclosure "d") must be conform to the international or 
national standard involved (e.g. EN 60079-14).

The non-intrinsically safe terminals for connection of the power supply (1L and 0L ) must be 
connected according to the relevant standard code of practice for electrical apparatus intended for 
use in potentially hazardous locations, type of protection Increased Safety "e" or type of protection 
Flameproof Enclosure "d", depending on the type of protection of the terminal compartment of the 
signal converter housing. 
 
To gain access to the connection terminals of the power supply, the half-circular cover plate of 
insulating material must be slightly lifted at one end and then rotated downwards, see the 
instruction on the cover plate. After connection of the power supply cable, the half-circular cover 
plate must be restored into its original position, so that the minimum clearances and creepage 
distances towards the intrinsically safe signal in-/output terminals are maintained.
