Function

Application range
The isolating repeater input is used to transmit intrinsically safe analogue signals
(current or voltage) from the field to a distributed control system or a PLC. The device is
approved for use in hazardous areas of Zone 2 with potentially explosive gas as well as
in safe areas. The device can be used up to SIL2 (IEC 61508).
Mode of operation
Isolating Repeater types 9163/.3-..-.. are used to transmit an intrinsically safe,
active 0/4 to 20 mA signal from the field to a distributed control system or a PLC.
The typical application involves 4-conductor transmitters that feature a separate auxiliary
power supply. The devices transmit a superimposed HART communication signal
bidirectionally.
The Isolating Repeater type 9163/11-81-10 converts an intrinsically safe voltage signal
(0/1 to 5 V or 0/2 to 10 V) to a non-intrinsically safe 0/4 to 20 mA signal.
