2.1 Non-Incendive
This document contains the details of FM Approvals Certication, NFM014-A13, NIE009-A101,
and NFM037-A101. The precautions on handling the Non-Incendive products, the notices on
wiring the Incendive products and so on are explained in this document.
Non-Incendive (hereinafter described as NI), especially in North America, represents one of the
explosion protection constructions for explosion-proof apparatus used in hazardous areas. NI is a
construction that enhances safety not to cause a spark, an arc or high surface temperatures in a
normal operation. A safety control unit, a safety node unit, unit for Optical Bus Repeater Module,
an I/O module, an optical repeater, an N-IO node, and N-IO eld enclosure in the ProSafe-RS/
ProSafe-RS Lite have acquired NI certicates of the following standards from FM. The
certication ensures that the products above can be used in Class I, Division 2 (*1) hazardous
(classied) areas and that the equipment can be directly connected to an NI approved eld
device installed in Class I, Division 2 hazardous areas. In addition, electrical equipment installed
in non-hazardous areas can be directly connected to an NI approved local device installed in
Class I, Division 2 hazardous areas.
*1: Class I, Division 2 is a place where gases or vapors do not form a potentially explosive atmosphere in a normal state, and even if
they do, it stays for only a short period of time.
