BEI intrinsic safety barrier 924-60004

This Galvanically Isolated Electronic Module is the perfect complement to BEI’s Intrinsically Safe Encoders. Together with our cable assemblies they constitute a completely engineered solution for encoder operation in Class I and Class II, Division I and Division II Hazardous Environments. This single barrier provides both power and signal isolation for an incremental encoder with differential quadrature outputs and an index. This all-in-one approach saves the cost, inconvenience and system design time needed when using separate power and signal barriers. This barrier is galvanically isolated and saves the added cost of maintaining a high integrity earth ground. With differential line driver outputs, this barrier can be used to carry signals up to 500 feet with a bandwidth of up to 250 kHz.

The Intrinsic Safety Barrier Module is designed around a standard DIN Rail mounting (Type EN 50 022, 35 mm X 7.5 mm) for easy installation in standard enclosures. The barrier has a non-incendive rating and can be installed in Class I, Division II areas.
