Model TS420

5.1.5 Intrinsically Safe System Requirements

NOTE - Refer to control drawing 45217 Rev A. (Section 5.2.2)

The TS420 is approved as intrinsically safe on its own (entity approved). However, when installing the TS420 into a system, there are requirements, which must be strictly followed to maintain the intrinsic safety of the system. These requirements are:

1.Ui/VMAX of the field device (TS420) must be less than or equal to UMAX of barrier.

2.Ii/IMAX of the field device (TS420) must be greater than or equal to IMAX of the barrier.

3.The inductance of the cable and the TS420 (Li) must be less than the barrier’s maximum inductance rating (La).

4.The capacitance of the cable and the TS420 (Ci) must be less than the barrier’s maximum capacitance rating (Ca).

To calculate maximum cable length, use the following formulas, and use the shorter of the two calculations.

Capacitance:

Max. Cable Length = CMAX(Barrier) - Ci(TS420) (ft)

Wire Capacitance/Ft

Inductance:

Max. Cable Length = LMAX(Barrier - Li(TS420) (ft)

Wire Inductance/Ft

5.1.6 Sample Calculation

What is the maximum allowable cable length when using an MTL 7206 barrier and BELDEN 8760 2-conductor shielded cable?

BELDEN 8760 Parameters: C/ft = 24 pF/ft, L/ft: not available

MTL 7206:

TS420:

CMAX = 0.12 µf

Ci = 0 µf

LMAX = 4.0 mH

Li = 500 µH

Ui/VMAX = 35V

Ui/VMAX = 35V

Ii/IMAX = 93mA

Ii/IMAX = 100mA

1.Ui/VMAX (TS420) ≤ Ui/VMAX (MTL 7206) 35VDC ≤ 35VDC

2.Ii/IMAX (TS420) ≥ Ii/IMAX (MTL 7206)

100mA93mA

3. Cable inductance not available.

4. Max. cable length = CMAX (MTL 7206) - Ci (TS420) C/L (Belden 8760)

=0.12µf - 0µf
