Intrinsically Safe
Interface Solutions: These are typical system diagrams using Isolation interfaces for E2S Intrinsically safe sounders and beacons. |
||||
The simplest installation is with a Single stage alarm with a single channel isolation interface (Power driver). |
||||
|
||||
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 below of suggested relays) |
||||
|
||||
Similarly add another relay (or a double relay module) for the 3rd stage audible alarm |
||||
|
||||
The sounder and beacon IS-MC1 or the combination of IS-105N and IS-L101 can be powered with a single channel interface |
||||
|
||||
For independent control use a double channel, or 2 separate isolation interfaces |
||||
|
||||
Again adding a relay gives 2nd level alarm option |
||||
|
||||
The combined IS-A105N / IS-L101L has a mute option, adding a switch will mute the alarm |

Isolation Interfaces
| Any interface with parameters | ||
| Uo ≤ 28v | Io ≤ 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
|
Single Power |
Dual channel power |
