2. The voltage current of this associated apparatus is limited by a resistor such that the output voltage-
current plot is a straight line drawn between open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current.
3. Selected intrinsically safe apparatus must be ATEX and/or IECEx Certified as intrinsically safe for the
application and have intrinsically safe entity parameters conforming with the following:
Co = 3.0uF, Li + Lcable </= Lo = 1.52mH
Co = 5.0uF, Li + Lcable </= Lo = 600uH
4. This associated apparatus may also be connected to simple apparatus as defined in Clause 5.7 of
IEC60079-11:2012 and or EN60079-11:2012 and installed in accordance with applicable local codes.
5. Capacitance and inductance of the field wiring from the intrinsically safe equipment to the associated
apparatus shall be calculated and must be included in the system calculations as shown in Table 1.
Cable capacitance, Ccable, plus intrinsically safe equipment capacitance, Ci must be less than the
marked capacitance, Co, shown on any associated apparatus used. The same applies for inductance
(Lcable, Li, Lo, respectively. Where the cable capacitance and inductance per foot are not known, the
following values shall be used: Ccab/e = 197pF/m., Lcable = 0.66uH/m.
6. The associated apparatus must be connected to a suitable ground electrode or other local installation
codes, as applicable. The resistance of the ground path must be less than 1 ohm.
7. Where multiple circuits extend from the same piece of associated apparatus, they must be installed in
separate cables or in one cable having suitable insulation.
8. Intrinsically safe circuits must be wired and separated in accordance with applicable local codes.
9. This associated apparatus has not been evaluated for use in combination with another associated
apparatus.
