Intrinsically safe applications 
The fieldbus Remote Termination Panel (RTP) model TC-FFRP02 is approved as 
Intrinsically Safe (IS) for use in Division 1 (Zones 0 and 1) hazardous areas. It accepts 
nominal 24 Vdc input from an external power supply to provide bus power for fieldbus 
devices in IS applications. This RTP provides Galvanic Isolation between the field wiring 
and the RTP.  
Be sure you take the reduced current limit of 80 mA into consideration when calculating 
performance characteristics for the planned IS fieldbus segment.  
You are responsible for adhering to all applicable national codes and local ordinances for 
applying intrinsically safe equipment in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
