The entity concept allows interconnection of intrinsically safe apparatus
with associated apparatus not specifically examined in combination as a system
when the approved values of V

of the associated apparatus
are less than or equal to V
max

of the intrinsically safe apparatus and the
approved values of C

respectively for the intrinsically safe apparatus.
Wiring methods must be in accordance with the National Electric Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70, Article 504 and 505 or the Canadian Electric Code CSA
C22.1, Part 1, Appendix F. For additional information refer to ANSI/ISA
RP12.6.

1 In addition to these cable types, the following specification can be followed to allow additional types:
Cable Impedance = 75
Ω ± 3Ω
Cable Capacitance = <5.94nF per 100m
Cable Resistance = >9.08
Ω per 100m
Cable Attenuation 0.2MHz > 0.93dB/100m 5MHz > 1.39dB/100m
(-20 to +70 o C) 0.5MHz > 0.95dB/100m 10MHz > 1.86dB/100m
1MHz > 1.07dB/100m 20MHz > 2.73dB/100m
2MHz > 1.16dB/100m 50MHz > 4.33dB/100m
2 Belden Wire & Cable 1189A may be used, but with functional loss of communication distance and/or nodes.
