Intrinsically Safe Solutions
Including interface selection, Zener barriers
and isolation interfaces for E2S sounders
and beacons.
This is a guide to using the E2S Intrinsically safe
sounders and beacons, it is based on the Atex
certification but in general the guidelines apply to other
intrinsic safety certifications including North American
FM and IECEx. It is not intended as a definitive guide to
intrinsic safety and or a complete review of the subject.
Intrinsically safe solutions
Please refer to the Intrinsic
Safety Certificate and
installation instructions for
individual equipment with
reference to the relevant local
and national standards.
Intrinsic Safety is a protection technique based upon the
restriction of electrical energy to a level below that which can
cause ignition by either sparking of heating effects. It is a system
concept; unlike most other hazardous area protection methods,
such as flameproof Ex d, all items in an intrinsically safe circuit
must be taken into consideration.
Intrinsic safety
An Intrinsically safe circuit is typically defined as:
A circuit in which any spark or thermal effect produced in
normal operation and specified fault conditions is not
capable of causing ignition.
So the preservation of intrinsic safety depends on the strict
control of energy in the circuit and therefore the whole circuit
needs to be considered, not just the field apparatus in isolation.
Intrinsic safety
Associated apparatus is the name given to the piece of
equipment which is responsible for controlling the level of voltage
and current which will be permitted to enter the intrinsically safe
circuit within the hazardous area.
Intrinsic safety
It preserves the integrity of the intrinsically safe field device (it does not make it safe) and takes the form of an
interface between the safe area and the hazardous area and is usually a Zener barrier or isolation interface
colloquially both types are generally referred to in context as barriers or isolators.
The associated apparatus is located in the safe area near to where the intrinsically safe connections can be
passed to the hazardous area. This of course may be inside another piece certified equipment such as an Ex d
enclosure, which in effect creates a local safe area inside.
Additional certification (Ex N) for the associated apparatus
may be utilised e.g. many Zener barriers are approved to Ex N
which allows the interface to be installed in a Zone 2 hazardous
areas with appropriate enclosure. In this case in the context of the
intrinsically safe circuit it is assumed the interface is in the safe
area.
Intrinsic safety
Cables have also to be taken in to consideration.
Interconnecting cables include reactance which will have an effect
on the storage of energy in the circuit. The calculation of cable
requirements is out with the scope of this document. However, as
intrinsic safety is low power, and is usually installed with small
diameter cabling cable runs are rarely an issue.
Intrinsic safety
Unlike other protection techniques cable requirements for intrinsic safety are not onerous. Armoured cable is not
necessary and the minimum requirements are for double insulated cable only. However local site standards may
over-ride the minimum requirements.
IP Rating for an intrinsically
safe installation is on IP20.
However in practice a higher IP
rating is usually required to
meet environmental conditions
or site standards.

The decision between these two types of interface will normally be down to site
preferences and both have advantages and disadvantages.
Zener barriers or isolation interfaces
Interface selection
Zener barriers are much simpler than isolation interfaces
and tend to be more flexible in application. Generally Zener
barriers can be used in different circuits. Isolation interfaces
tend to be designed for a specific application and are limited
in the way they are used.
Earthing with Zener barriers is perceived to be difficult as
they have a strict earthing requirement although in practice
this rarely a problem. Maintaining an intrinsic safety earth is
not as difficult as some believe but, particularly when only a
few Zener barriers are used, it can introduce extra
complication and cost.
The decision between these two types of interface will normally be down to site
preferences and both have advantages and disadvantages.
Zener barriers or isolation interfaces
Interface selection
Isolation interfaces (also known as Galvanic Isolators) do
not require the same degree of integrity on the Earth as Zener
barrier interfaces. However to avoid the risk of cables
charging to uncontrolled potentials and so acquiring stored
capacitive energy which may be incendive, a discharge path
to Earth should be provided. This would typically be between
200kΩ and 1MΩ and is not deemed to be earthing in terms
of the instrumentation loop.
The associated apparatus (intrinsic safety interface)
preserves the integrity of the field device such as E2S
sounder or beacon. It can only do this if it limits the
energy by way of voltage and current to a level below
the maximum permitted by field device.
Selecting an intrinsic safety interface
Interface selection
These values are the entity parameters (often referred to as safety
parameters) and consist of voltage current power capacitance and
inductance.
All of these may not always be specified if they are irrelevant or can be
derived directly from the other parameters.
IS-minialarm
IS-minialite
Selecting an intrinsic safety interface
Interface selection
The E2S sounders and beacons main terminals all have the same entity
parameters (The suffix “i” denotes input characteristics)
Ui = 28v | Ii = 93mA | Pi = 660mW
This means that the integrity of the apparatus is maintained, i.e. is it is safe, providing these figures are not exceeded. Therefore the
associated apparatus (barrier) must have parameters of less than or equal to these figures.
Note that the power figure is not the direct calculation based on Voltage and Current; these are entity or safety parameters not actual working
values.
The capacitance and inductance figures
Ci = 0µF | Li = 0mH
Refer to the capacitance or inductance that the apparatus contributes to the circuit. In the case of E2S sounders and beacons this is zero
which simplifies the safety assessment of the circuit.
A suitable barrier would have entity parameters of
Uo ≤ 28v | I o ≤ 93mA | P o ≤ 660mW
Zener barriers
Intrinsic safety solutions
These are typical system diagrams using Isolation interfaces for E2S Intrinsically
safe sounders and beacons.
The following circuits are for are for illustration only, installation and details may be omitted for
clarity.
Please refer to the relevant certification prior to use. As all E2S sounder and beacons have the
same entity parameters in most circuits different E2S intrinsically safe field apparatus may be
used providing it has the relevant input feature. Where examples show the IS-mini range a
direct replacement can be made using the IS-A105N and IS-L101L or combination.
Zener barriers
Intrinsic safety solutions
The basic installation is straightforward on/off control using a Zener barrier with entity
parameters 28v 93mA (often referred to as 28v 300Ω) which is an industry standard barrier
(Power driver).
This is suitable for all E2S Intrinsically safe sounders and beacons.
To simplify drawings the rest of the illustration do not show the representative voltage clamping
diode.
Zener barriers
Intrinsic safety solutions
The 2nd tone on a sounder is switched down to zero volts. This can be achieved in the safe
area by using a Diode return barrier.
Zener barriers
Intrinsic safety solutions
Similarly another diode return can be added for the 3rd stage audible alarm This can be
achieved with a single 3 channel barrier.
Zener barriers
Intrinsic safety solutions
The sounder and beacon IS-mC1 or the combination of IS-105N and IS-L101 can be powered
from a single Zener barrier. Similarly an IS-mA1 plus IS-mb1 could be run from a single Zener
barrier.
Zener barriers
Intrinsic safety solutions
For independent control use a double channel Zener barrier.
Zener barriers
Intrinsic safety solutions
Again with the option of 2nd tone switch. This can be extended further using 2 power and
diode returns Zener barriers to switch the 3rd alarm tone (not shown).
Zener barriers
Intrinsic safety solutions
The combined IS-A105N / IS-L101L has a mute option, adding a switch will mute the alarm.
Depending on the DIP switch settings on the IS-L101 reset occurs:
On alarm condition being removed i.e. power down of IS-L101L or after a dip switch selectable
interval – from 5 seconds to 2 hours.
Note the reset switch does not need to be certified as it is considered to be simple apparatus.
Zener barriers
Intrinsic safety solutions
However many DCS cards use pull down signals such as open collector, common
emitter outputs. Then a common power feed would be used with all switching being done via a
diode return barrier.
Here is a simple on off control. Adding another diode return gives
a second stage alarm.
Zener barriers
Intrinsic safety solutions
Any interface with parameters
Uo ≤ 28v I o ≤ 93mA P o ≤ 660mW
or for the Diode return channel
Uo ≤ 28v I o ≤ 0mA
Isolation interfaces
Intrinsic safety solutions
These are typical system diagrams using isolation interfaces for E2S intrinsically
safe sounders and beacons. The following circuits are for are for illustration only,
installation and details may be omitted for clarity.
Please refer to the relevant certification prior to use. As all E2S sounder and beacons have the
same entity parameters in most circuits different E2S intrinsically safe field apparatus may be
used providing it has the relevant input feature.
Where examples show the IS-mini range a direct replacement can be made using the IS-
A105N and IS-L101L or combination.
Isolation interfaces
Intrinsic safety solutions
The simplest installation is with a Single stage alarm with a single channel isolation interface
(Power driver). This is suitable for all E2S Intrinsically safe sounders and beacons.
Isolation interfaces
Intrinsic safety solutions
When using isolation interfaces the integrity of the isolation must be maintained so an
intrinsically safe relay is used to switch the second stage alarm.
Although the relay contacts can be treated as simple apparatus, the relay must be certified.
(see list of suggested relays)
Isolation interfaces
Intrinsic safety solutions
Similarly add another relay (or a double relay module) for the 3rd stage audible alarm.
Isolation interfaces
Intrinsic safety solutions
The sounder and beacon IS-MC1 or the combination of IS-105N and IS-L101 can be powered
with a single channel interface.
Isolation interfaces
Intrinsic safety solutions
For independent control use a double channel, or 2 separate isolation interfaces.
Isolation interfaces
Intrinsic safety solutions
Again adding a relay gives 2nd level alarm option.
Isolation interfaces
Intrinsic safety solutions
The combined IS-A105N / IS-L101L has a mute option, adding a switch will mute the alarm.
Depending on the DIP switch settings on the IS-L101 reset occurs:
On alarm condition being removed i.e. power down of IS-L101L or after a dip switch selectable
interval – from 5 seconds to 2 hours.
Note the reset switch does not need to be certified as it is considered to be simple apparatus.
Isolation interfaces
Intrinsic safety solutions
Any interface with parameters
Uo ≤ 28v I o ≤ 93mA P o ≤ 660mW
Relays have volt free contacts which can
be treated as Simple Apparatus. However,
the relay must still be certified... e.g.

E2S warning signals - intrinsically safe solutions

  • 1. Intrinsically Safe Solutions Including interface selection, Zener barriers and isolation interfaces for E2S sounders and beacons.
  • 2. This is a guide to using the E2S Intrinsically safe sounders and beacons, it is based on the Atex certification but in general the guidelines apply to other intrinsic safety certifications including North American FM and IECEx. It is not intended as a definitive guide to intrinsic safety and or a complete review of the subject. Intrinsically safe solutions Please refer to the Intrinsic Safety Certificate and installation instructions for individual equipment with reference to the relevant local and national standards.
  • 3. Intrinsic Safety is a protection technique based upon the restriction of electrical energy to a level below that which can cause ignition by either sparking of heating effects. It is a system concept; unlike most other hazardous area protection methods, such as flameproof Ex d, all items in an intrinsically safe circuit must be taken into consideration. Intrinsic safety
  • 4. An Intrinsically safe circuit is typically defined as: A circuit in which any spark or thermal effect produced in normal operation and specified fault conditions is not capable of causing ignition. So the preservation of intrinsic safety depends on the strict control of energy in the circuit and therefore the whole circuit needs to be considered, not just the field apparatus in isolation. Intrinsic safety
  • 5. Associated apparatus is the name given to the piece of equipment which is responsible for controlling the level of voltage and current which will be permitted to enter the intrinsically safe circuit within the hazardous area. Intrinsic safety It preserves the integrity of the intrinsically safe field device (it does not make it safe) and takes the form of an interface between the safe area and the hazardous area and is usually a Zener barrier or isolation interface colloquially both types are generally referred to in context as barriers or isolators. The associated apparatus is located in the safe area near to where the intrinsically safe connections can be passed to the hazardous area. This of course may be inside another piece certified equipment such as an Ex d enclosure, which in effect creates a local safe area inside.
  • 6. Additional certification (Ex N) for the associated apparatus may be utilised e.g. many Zener barriers are approved to Ex N which allows the interface to be installed in a Zone 2 hazardous areas with appropriate enclosure. In this case in the context of the intrinsically safe circuit it is assumed the interface is in the safe area. Intrinsic safety
  • 7. Cables have also to be taken in to consideration. Interconnecting cables include reactance which will have an effect on the storage of energy in the circuit. The calculation of cable requirements is out with the scope of this document. However, as intrinsic safety is low power, and is usually installed with small diameter cabling cable runs are rarely an issue. Intrinsic safety Unlike other protection techniques cable requirements for intrinsic safety are not onerous. Armoured cable is not necessary and the minimum requirements are for double insulated cable only. However local site standards may over-ride the minimum requirements.
  • 8. IP Rating for an intrinsically safe installation is on IP20. However in practice a higher IP rating is usually required to meet environmental conditions or site standards. Intrinsic safety First digit Solid body protection Second digit Liquid protection 0 No protection 0 No protection 1 Objects > 50.0mm 1 Vertically dripping water 2 Objects > 12.0mm 2 75 - 90° sprayed water 3 Objects > 2.5mm 3 30 - 90° sprayed water 4 Objects > 1.0mm 4 Water sprayed - low pressure 5 Dust protected 5 Water jets - low pressure 6 Dust tight 6 Water jets - high pressure 7 Temporary immersion 8 Sustained immersion
  • 9. The decision between these two types of interface will normally be down to site preferences and both have advantages and disadvantages. Zener barriers or isolation interfaces Interface selection Zener barriers are much simpler than isolation interfaces and tend to be more flexible in application. Generally Zener barriers can be used in different circuits. Isolation interfaces tend to be designed for a specific application and are limited in the way they are used. Earthing with Zener barriers is perceived to be difficult as they have a strict earthing requirement although in practice this rarely a problem. Maintaining an intrinsic safety earth is not as difficult as some believe but, particularly when only a few Zener barriers are used, it can introduce extra complication and cost.
  • 10. The decision between these two types of interface will normally be down to site preferences and both have advantages and disadvantages. Zener barriers or isolation interfaces Interface selection Isolation interfaces (also known as Galvanic Isolators) do not require the same degree of integrity on the Earth as Zener barrier interfaces. However to avoid the risk of cables charging to uncontrolled potentials and so acquiring stored capacitive energy which may be incendive, a discharge path to Earth should be provided. This would typically be between 200kΩ and 1MΩ and is not deemed to be earthing in terms of the instrumentation loop.
  • 11. The associated apparatus (intrinsic safety interface) preserves the integrity of the field device such as E2S sounder or beacon. It can only do this if it limits the energy by way of voltage and current to a level below the maximum permitted by field device. Selecting an intrinsic safety interface Interface selection These values are the entity parameters (often referred to as safety parameters) and consist of voltage current power capacitance and inductance. All of these may not always be specified if they are irrelevant or can be derived directly from the other parameters. IS-minialarm IS-minialite
  • 12. Selecting an intrinsic safety interface Interface selection The E2S sounders and beacons main terminals all have the same entity parameters (The suffix “i” denotes input characteristics) Ui = 28v | Ii = 93mA | Pi = 660mW This means that the integrity of the apparatus is maintained, i.e. is it is safe, providing these figures are not exceeded. Therefore the associated apparatus (barrier) must have parameters of less than or equal to these figures. Note that the power figure is not the direct calculation based on Voltage and Current; these are entity or safety parameters not actual working values. The capacitance and inductance figures Ci = 0µF | Li = 0mH Refer to the capacitance or inductance that the apparatus contributes to the circuit. In the case of E2S sounders and beacons this is zero which simplifies the safety assessment of the circuit. A suitable barrier would have entity parameters of Uo ≤ 28v | I o ≤ 93mA | P o ≤ 660mW
  • 13. Zener barriers Intrinsic safety solutions These are typical system diagrams using Isolation interfaces for E2S Intrinsically safe sounders and beacons. The following circuits are for are for illustration only, installation and details may be omitted for clarity. Please refer to the relevant certification prior to use. As all E2S sounder and beacons have the same entity parameters in most circuits different E2S intrinsically safe field apparatus may be used providing it has the relevant input feature. Where examples show the IS-mini range a direct replacement can be made using the IS-A105N and IS-L101L or combination.
  • 14. Zener barriers Intrinsic safety solutions The basic installation is straightforward on/off control using a Zener barrier with entity parameters 28v 93mA (often referred to as 28v 300Ω) which is an industry standard barrier (Power driver). This is suitable for all E2S Intrinsically safe sounders and beacons. To simplify drawings the rest of the illustration do not show the representative voltage clamping diode.
  • 15. Zener barriers Intrinsic safety solutions The 2nd tone on a sounder is switched down to zero volts. This can be achieved in the safe area by using a Diode return barrier.
  • 16. Zener barriers Intrinsic safety solutions Similarly another diode return can be added for the 3rd stage audible alarm This can be achieved with a single 3 channel barrier.
  • 17. Zener barriers Intrinsic safety solutions The sounder and beacon IS-mC1 or the combination of IS-105N and IS-L101 can be powered from a single Zener barrier. Similarly an IS-mA1 plus IS-mb1 could be run from a single Zener barrier.
  • 18. Zener barriers Intrinsic safety solutions For independent control use a double channel Zener barrier.
  • 19. Zener barriers Intrinsic safety solutions Again with the option of 2nd tone switch. This can be extended further using 2 power and diode returns Zener barriers to switch the 3rd alarm tone (not shown).
  • 20. Zener barriers Intrinsic safety solutions The combined IS-A105N / IS-L101L has a mute option, adding a switch will mute the alarm. Depending on the DIP switch settings on the IS-L101 reset occurs: On alarm condition being removed i.e. power down of IS-L101L or after a dip switch selectable interval – from 5 seconds to 2 hours. Note the reset switch does not need to be certified as it is considered to be simple apparatus.
  • 21. Zener barriers Intrinsic safety solutions However many DCS cards use pull down signals such as open collector, common emitter outputs. Then a common power feed would be used with all switching being done via a diode return barrier. Here is a simple on off control. Adding another diode return gives a second stage alarm.
  • 22. Zener barriers Intrinsic safety solutions Any interface with parameters Uo ≤ 28v I o ≤ 93mA P o ≤ 660mW or for the Diode return channel Uo ≤ 28v I o ≤ 0mA
  • 23. Isolation interfaces Intrinsic safety solutions These are typical system diagrams using isolation interfaces for E2S intrinsically safe sounders and beacons. The following circuits are for are for illustration only, installation and details may be omitted for clarity. Please refer to the relevant certification prior to use. As all E2S sounder and beacons have the same entity parameters in most circuits different E2S intrinsically safe field apparatus may be used providing it has the relevant input feature. Where examples show the IS-mini range a direct replacement can be made using the IS- A105N and IS-L101L or combination.
  • 24. Isolation interfaces Intrinsic safety solutions The simplest installation is with a Single stage alarm with a single channel isolation interface (Power driver). This is suitable for all E2S Intrinsically safe sounders and beacons.
  • 25. Isolation interfaces Intrinsic safety solutions When using isolation interfaces the integrity of the isolation must be maintained so an intrinsically safe relay is used to switch the second stage alarm. Although the relay contacts can be treated as simple apparatus, the relay must be certified. (see list of suggested relays)
  • 26. Isolation interfaces Intrinsic safety solutions Similarly add another relay (or a double relay module) for the 3rd stage audible alarm.
  • 27. Isolation interfaces Intrinsic safety solutions The sounder and beacon IS-MC1 or the combination of IS-105N and IS-L101 can be powered with a single channel interface.
  • 28. Isolation interfaces Intrinsic safety solutions For independent control use a double channel, or 2 separate isolation interfaces.
  • 29. Isolation interfaces Intrinsic safety solutions Again adding a relay gives 2nd level alarm option.
  • 30. Isolation interfaces Intrinsic safety solutions The combined IS-A105N / IS-L101L has a mute option, adding a switch will mute the alarm. Depending on the DIP switch settings on the IS-L101 reset occurs: On alarm condition being removed i.e. power down of IS-L101L or after a dip switch selectable interval – from 5 seconds to 2 hours. Note the reset switch does not need to be certified as it is considered to be simple apparatus.
  • 31. Isolation interfaces Intrinsic safety solutions Any interface with parameters Uo ≤ 28v I o ≤ 93mA P o ≤ 660mW Relays have volt free contacts which can be treated as Simple Apparatus. However, the relay must still be certified... e.g.
