ABB SensyMaster FMT430 - Changing the Type of Protection

SensyMaster FMT430, FMT450 THERMAL MASS FLOWMETER | OI/FMT430/450-EN REV. B 21
Changing the type of protection
If you are installing in Zone 1 / Div. 1, the current outputs and digital outputs of models FMT430/450 can be operated with different
types of protection:
• Current output and digital output in the ‘intrinsically safe ia / IS’ design
• Current output and digital output in non-intrinsically safe design
If a device that is already operational is operated with a different type of protection, the following measures must be
implemented/insulation checks performed in accordance with applicable standards.
