Intrinsic Safety
Intrinsic safety is an electronic hardware protection concept that
ensures there are no conditions under which the equipment can
operate that could cause a release of energy sufficient to ignite a
hazardous gas or dust mixture. Devices that meet the low power,
current-limited design criteria are deemed Intrinsically Safe (IS).
Special design, testing, quality, and inspection rules apply to
manufacturers and users of IS equipment due to the critical nature
of its deployment in hazardous areas. Areas where hazardous
conditions can be expected to be present on a constant basis are
classified (rated) as Zone 0 (equivalent to Class I, Division 1, in
North America).
The TRITON+ flow monitor (Model 8000-FST-IM) has been
certified and tested to worldwide IECEx (International
Electrotechnical Commission Explosive) standards. The IECEx
scheme allows demonstrated compliance for use in Zone 0
(equivalent to Class I, Division 1 in North America) areas in the
following countries:
The TRITON+ has also been certified under the ATEX European
Intrinsic Safety standards for Zone 0 rated hazardous areas.
