The intrinsically safe circuits of VEGAMET 841, 842, 861, 862 are galvanically separated from
ground.
The intrinsically safe circuits of the VEGAMET 841, 842, 861, 862 are reliably separated from the
non-intrinsically safe circuit up to a peak value of 375 V.
The maximum voltage on the non-intrinsically safe circuits must not exceed 253 Vrms in the event of
a fault.
