3500 Internal Barriers

Description
3500 Internal Barriers are intrinsically safe interfaces that provide explosion
protection for transducer systems connected directly to the 3500 Machinery
Protection System.
The barrier designs are fully compatible with the 3500 System, and provide a
convenient and cost-effective solution for installing all types of transducer
systems within a hazardous area. Unlike external barriers, 3500 Internal Barriers
are an integral part of the 3500 System and will not degrade the 3500 System’s
performance.
We can supply most Bently Nevada transducer systems that have
comprehensive approvals for hazardous area installations and are matched to
those of the 3500 Internal Barriers (consult Table 1 for compatible monitors and
transducers). The design of each component complies both individually and as
part of a system with the strict safety requirements of North American and
International Standards. This removes the need for a system designer to
reference individual certificates to verify the compatibility between components.
Standard and Internal Barrier monitors can reside within the same 3500 rack,
which increases the overall flexibility of the 3500 system. Users can upgrade
standard monitors to those that contain internal barriers by replacing existing
I/O modules.

Installation Guidelines
A 3500 rack containing Internal Barriers uses Monitor I/O Modules that
incorporate barriers. These barriers provide explosion protection for transducer
systems that are connected to the 3500 system. An intrinsically safe (IS) earthing
module provides the IS earth connection through the 3500 system backplane
Installations use the same method to connect the hazardous area cable shields.
The IS Earth Module requires a dedicated I/O module position and precludes the
use of this monitor position for other 3500 System modules. This limits a
standard 19-inch rack to 13 monitor positions. In addition, a number of
installation options are not available when Internal Barriers are installed in a
3500 rack. Note the following information when considering the use of Internal
Barriers.
New Rack Installations
The same rack can contain both Internal Barrier and Standard I/O Module types
without compromising the separation between hazardous and safe area field
wiring.

 The External Termination option is not available for I/O modules with Internal
Barriers (Hazardous Area Approvals do not allow the use of intrinsically safe
wiring within a multi-cored cable assembly).
Monitors that contain TMR rack options cannot use f Internal Barrier I/O Modules,
connecting a transducer to multiple I/O module inputs will compromise the
integrity of the IS system.
A rack that contains any Internal Barrier modules must have a 3500/04-01 IS
Earthing Module to provide the Barrier Module IS earth connection.
I/O Module Positioning
Internal Barrier I/O Modules have an increased depth over that of Standard
Barrier I/O Modules. Consider the rack position with respect to adjacent modules
to ensure that you can easily access these I/O modules during maintenance.
Internal Barrier I/O and IS Earthing Modules can occupy any general-purpose
rack position, and can be adjacent to Standard I/O Module types without (?)
compromising the 50 mm (2 in) physical separation requirement between 'Safe'
and 'Hazardous' area field wiring.
Grouping all Internal Barrier I/O Modules in adjacent rack positions will simplify
the installation. You should locate the IS Earthing Module s in a rack position
that provides easy access for routine online maintenance. You should also
consider its positioning relative to adjacent Internal Barrier I/O Modules and
cabinet bulkheads.
If you plan to install Standard I/O Modules or an IS Earthing Module between a
pair of Internal Barrier I/O Modules, allow a minimum of 2 rack position to
ensure that you can easily access the Standard I/O or IS Earthing Module online
without disturbing the installation of adjacent I/O modules.
Upgrading a 3500 Rack
Users can upgrade a 3500 rack with standard I/O Modules to a rack containing
one or more Internal Barrier I/O Modules. by replacing the standard I/O Modules
with the appropriate Internal Barrier Modules (see Spares). An IS Earthing
Module must be installed in a dedicated monitor position. The IS Earthing
Module can be ordered separately (see Spares).
Revision 2.3 or later of 3500 Configuration Software is required to enable the use
of Internal Barriers with the following monitor types: /25, /40, /42, /50, /60, /61,
/62, /70, /72.
The following Firmware revisions are required:

 No firmware revisions are required for the 3500/40M, 3500/42M, 3500/70M, or
3500/72M monitors. (?)
Cabinet and Panel Installations
The Internal Barrier I/O Modules add approximately 50 mm (2 in) to the depth of
the rackto provide the 50 mm (2 in) physical separation between 'Safe' and
'Hazardous' area field wiring. This means that a standard rack with Internal
Barrier Modules will not fit into a 400 mm cabinet. The Bulkhead rack version is
available for installations that require this cabinet type. A standard rack with
Internal Barrier Modules will fit comfortably in a 600 mm and the 3500/06
Weatherproof Housing.
The following information provides suggested installations for the Internal
Barriers within a cabinet or panel:
• The positioning of the 'Hazardous' and 'Safe' area connectors dictates
that installations route the 'Hazardous' area field wiring above the 3500
rack and 'Safe' area wiring below the 3500 Rack.
• Installations should carefully route the Safe area wiring from the
bulkhead version along the top of the 3500 rack to maintain the 50 mm
(2 in) separation between safe and hazardous area wiring.
When multiple racks are installed within the same cabinet, hazardous area and
safe area wiring can share the same cable trays providing that the cable trays
provide a physical separator.
