Hazardous area
voltage
The meter entity parameters require the selected barrier’s open-
circuit voltage to be limited to less than 30 VDC (Vmax = 30 VDC).
Hazardous area
current
The meter entity parameters require the selected barrier’s short-
circuit currents to sum to less than 484 mA (Imax = 484 mA) for all
outputs.
Hazardous area
capacitance
The capacitance (Ci) of the meter is 0.0011 μF. This value added to
the wire capacitance (Ccable) must be lower than the maximum
allowable capacitance (Ca) specified by the safety barrier. Use the
following equation to calculate the maximum length of the cable
between the meter and the barrier: Ci + Ccable ≤ Ca
Hazardous area
inductance
The inductance (Li) of the meter is 0.0 μH. This value plus the field
wiring inductance (Lcable), must be lower than the maximum
allowable inductance (La) specified by the safety barrier. The
following equation can then be used to calculate the maximum cable
length between the meter and the barrier: Li + Lcable ≤ La
