M U L T I P U R P O S E T E R M I N A LMulti Purpose Terminal more power for Zone 1Cooper Crouse-Hinds © 2008 - all rights reservedNeither sparks nor hot surfaces may cause<strong>ex</strong>plosion hazards in areas where flammablegases, vapours, or mists may occasionally <strong>ex</strong>ist.Electrical apparatus for use in these areas mustcontain protection methods to prevent this. Inthe past this meant that you had to obtain ahot work permit when you wanted to carry outmaintenance work on these circuits. Alternativelythe circuits would have to be intrinsically safe.The new multi purpose terminal employs a2-step removal process to ensure that possiblehigh energy sparks will be kept inside the flameproof enclosure of the terminals. The red removallever of the terminals (see photo) separatesthe electrical circuits. The metal pins of themodule remain within the flame proof area untilthe module is removed manually. At this pointsparks will have been <strong>ex</strong>tinguished already andthe module will be volt free.Common Datamaximum voltage 400 Vmaximum current 6.3 Apermissible wire diameter 0.8 ... 2.5 mm 2Hot Swap in Zone 1 or Zone 2More power without hot work permitsApplications:fusing of Ex-d valves, signal lamps,sounders etc.can be fitted with simple 2-pole or 4-polecomponents such as resistors, fuses,relays etc.diode separation of supply circuitssimple OR gate for Zone 1 mountingvisible disconnect of field devicesrelay switch for power circuitsBus terminationcurrent limitationopto coupler etc.Time savings during maintenanceInternational approvals6.52
