EB3L Lamp Barrier
Precautions for Operation
6. Wiring for Intrinsic Safety
(1) The voltage applied on the general circuit connected to
the non-intrinsically safe circuit terminals of the EB3L
lamp barrier must be 250V AC, 50/60Hz, or 250V DC at
the maximum under any conditions, including the volt-
age of the power line and the internal circuit.
(2) When wiring, take into consideration the prevention of
electromagnetic and electrostatic charges on intrinsi-
cally safe circuits. Also, prevent intrinsically safe circuits
from contacting with other circuits.
(3) The intrinsically safe circuits must be separated from
non-intrinsically safe circuits. Contain intrinsically safe
circuits in a metallic tube or duct, or separate the intrinsi-
cally safe circuits referring to the table at right.
Note: Cables with a magnetic shield, such as a metallic sheath, prevent elec-
tromagnetic induction and electrostatic induction, however, a non-
magnetic shield prevents electrostatic induction only. For non-mag-
netic shields, take a preventive measure against electromagnetic
induction.
Finely twisted pair cables prevent electromagnetic
induction. Adding shields to the twisted pair cables pro-
vides protection against electrostatic induction.

(4) When identifying intrinsically safe circuits by color, use
light blue terminal blocks and cables.
(5) When using two or more EB3L’s to set up one intrinsi-
cally safe circuit in the common wiring configuration,
interconnect two neutral terminals (N1 through N10) on
each EB3L between adjacent EB3L’s in parallel.
(6) Make sure that the power of the EB3L, pilot lights, and
other connected units are turned off before starting
inspection or replacement.
Note: For the details of wiring the intrinsically safe circuits, refer to a relevant
test guideline for explosion-proof electric equipment in each country.
Safety Precautions
• Do not use the EB3C Relay Barrier and EB3L Lamp Barrier for other than explosion
protection purposes.
• Read the user’s manual to make sure of correct operation before starting installation,
wiring, operation, maintenance, and inspection of the EB3C Relay Barrier and EB3L
Lamp Barrier.
