Intended use.

The built-in modules are intended for different application as parts of communication system/station. The cabinets

required for these built-in modules must have minimum IP54 rating. ‘X’-marking associated to special condition of

use is used. However safety concern was taken into account in considerations for relevant tests (e.g. thermal

endurance test).

Since external cabinet and the number of used modules at the end application are unknown, safety concern relied

on special condition of use. See ‘Condition of Use’. The internal temperatures are in any cases monitored by the

control system, e.g. internal air temperature.

Investigation of modules RMP420S & RMP422S (S-versions) is considered to be representative for modules

RMP420 & RMP422 since electronics is the same, only software may be different. The later designed module

RMP422S has multipurpose application which may/can cover the usage of several other listed modules as well.

Reset-switch and other addressable switch on a few modules may also be used only during testing/service/repair

or initializing start-up procedure of DUT where the service personnel must follow the normal safety procedures

before any service/repair work. See Special condition of use. Those switches are not used in normal operation

mode. Warning and safety precaution are provided for these switches and their application. See Copy of marking

plate.

Design.

All modules have internal transient protection except for module. RSER200-4 module is however interconnected

between other modules with internal transient protection. All modules have power dissipation approximately to or

less than 20W, therefore these built-in modules are considered as non-sparking low power equipment complying

with clause 13 of IEC60079-15: 2010. Requirements of creepage & air clearance distances are exempted. The

operating input voltage for all modules is 24Vdc, all secondary analogue and digital voltages are derived from

24Vdc input for functional purposes. Assessments are based therefore on 24Vdc as the only operating voltage.

0V reference of 24Vdc input is connected to module’s metal frame. DUT may be earthed in the end installation

and may be evaluated in the end use. Power supply with galvanic separation must be used in the end application.

Connection facilities and suitable terminals are provided. The cable lug connection may be used only during

testing or initializing start-up procedure of DUT. Cable lug is not used otherwise in normal operation mode. All

wiring is to be internal in the end installation.

General product information:

The module EFI-16 Earth Fault Indicator is used to monitor the input and output current and which indicates an

earth fault. Relay K1 on EFI-16 module is investigated for ‘nC’ requirements of IEC60079-15: 2010. Module EFI

16 is therefore evaluated for nA & nC type of protection.

Opto-couplers are used as functional separation for I/O signal of communication system. Opto-couplers have no

safety function and are treated as any other ICs due to the fact that investigation is based on requirements of

non-sparking low power equipment.

Test configuration / considerations

Built-in modules have different rated input voltage range. The output current on I/O channels are consequently

controlled & distributed so that the thermal & power aspects do not exceed the defined limits.  All channels are

short circuit protected. For high current outputs the cut-off point is by default limited to 1.08 Amp for each

channel, regardless of the supplied voltage (18 – 32VDC). Output is shutdown at input voltage less than the max

rated voltage due to this reason. Thermal condition and current are monitored and are controlled by the ma

Measurement Section, including Additional Narrative Remarks (as deemed applicable)

Clause 5.3 Maximum surface temperatures

Clause 26.5 Thermal tests. Temperatures measurements documented in Appendix B.1 of the associated

IEC60079-15 Test report.

Clause 7.2 Thermal endurance:

Clause 26.8 & 26.9 Thermal endurance to heat & cold. Modified tests according to Table 1 of IEC60079-15:

2010. Thermal endurance tests documented in Appendix B.3 of the associated IEC60079-15 Test report.

Non-metallic assembly part of investigated modules (Mounting frame for PCB) is considered to be part of

enclosure in the end use. The used non-metallic material is ZYTEL Nylon resin type FR72G25V0. V-0. RTI=

120°C (Imp), CTI code 2. UR E41938.

DUT 1) Climatic conditioning in 672h at 80°C & 90% RH. 3) No visible deterioration of material.

Supplementary information:

1) Four I/O modules and three separate K1 relay of module EFI-16 tested, RCU502 & RMP420 &

RAIV400 & EFI16 & K1 relays. Results are representative for all modules which are included in the

investigation.

2) Thermal endurance to heat test is modified according to requirements of cl. 22.3.1 of IEC60079-15:

2010

3) Built-in I/O modules tested. No cabinets included in the investigation. Maximum service temperature is

determined in associated IEC60079-15: 2010 test report. However taking into account the end

application where mounting condition and environmental influences might have impact on the end use,

maximum service temperature is based on the stated ‘Specific condition of use’.
