Safe or Division 2 / Zone 2 Area Division 1 / Zone 0 or 1 Area

Figure 1-3: Connection with Barriers

1. For I.S. installations using external barriers, disconnect single point earth system
connection by removing the jumper located inside the 1900/65A monitor under the
protective cap. For intrinsically safe (I.S.) external barrier installations, system common to
barrier I.S. ground impedance must not exceed 1Ω. Continuity between the shield of the
field wiring from the hazardous area and the I.S. earth should be verified.
2. Connect shields to I.S. earth at barrier ground.
3. External barriers installed in a safe area must be approved.
4. Refer to Table 5-2 in the appendix for external barrier parameters.
5. Wiring recommendations: 1900/65A to barrier and barrier to standard Bently Nevada
transducer – use 16 to 22 AWG twisted shielded pair or triad with stranded conductors
and insulating sheath. Cable length is not to exceed 1000 ft [305m].
6. Separate all I.S. wiring from non-I.S. wiring by a minimum of 2 in [50 mm]. When
installing systems over one another, take care to ensure separation of I.S. and non-I.S.
wiring.
7. Each channel is a separate I.S. circuit and must be wired separately from other channels.
Use a separate screened cable for each channel or a cable containing wiring for many
channels with each cable separated from other channel wiring by an earthed screen.
8. Temperature channels may be connected to unapproved thermocouples or RTDs located
in a Class I Division 1 Groups A,B,C,D; Class II Division 1 Groups E,F,G; and Class III Division
1 areas when connected through the safety barriers or equivalent recommended in
Table 5-2. For Division 1 / Zone 0 or Zone 1, non-grounded thermocouples or RTDs are
required.

standard Bently Nevada transducer – use 16 to 22 AWG twisted shielded pair or triad
with stranded conductors and insulating sheath. Cable length is not to exceed 1000 ft
[305m].
6. Separate all I.S. wiring from non-I.S. wiring by a minimum of 2 in [50 mm]. When
installing systems over one another, take care to ensure separation of I.S. and non-I.S.
wiring.
7. Each channel is a separate I.S. circuit and must be wired separately from other channels.
Use a separate screened cable for each channel or a cable containing wiring for many
channels, with each cable separated from other channel wiring by an earthed screen.
