6 Product Pillars
to meet your every need
Individually outstanding, unrivalled in combination
With our innovative, patented technologies, we make signal conditioning smarter and simpler. Our portfolio is composed of six
product areas, where we offer a wide range of analog and digital devices covering over a thousand applications in industrial
and factory automation. All our products comply with or surpass the highest industry standards, ensuring reliability in even
the harshest of environments and have a 5-year warranty for greater peace of mind.

Our range of temperature transmitters and sensors provides the highest level of signal integrity from the
measurement point to your control system. You can convert industrial process temperature signals to analog, bus or
digital communications using a highly reliable point-to-point solution with a fast response time, automatic self-
calibration, sensor error detection, low drift, and top EMC performance in any environment.

We deliver the safest signals by validating our products against the toughest safety standards. Through our
commitment to innovation, we have made pioneering achievements in developing I.S. interfaces with SIL 2 Full
Assessment that are both efficient and cost-effective. Our comprehensive range of analog and digital intrinsically
safe isolation barriers offers multifunctional inputs and outputs, making PR an easy-to-implement site standard.
Our backplanes further simplify large installations and provide seamless integration to standard DCS systems.

We provide inexpensive, easy-to-use, future-ready communication interfaces that can access your PR installed base
of products. The detachable 4501 Local Operator Interface (LOI) allows for local monitoring of process values,
device configuration, error detection and signal simulation. The next generation, our 4511 Remote Operator
Interface (ROI) does all that and more, adding remote digital communications via Modbus/RTU, while the analog
output signals are still available for redundancy.
With the 4511 you can further expand connectivity with a PR gateway, which connects via industrial Ethernet,
wirelessly through a Wi-Fi router or directly with the devices using our Portable Plant Supervisor (PPS) application.
The PPS app is available for iOS, Android and Windows.

Our unique range of single devices covering multiple applications is easily deployable as your site standard. Having
one variant that applies to a broad range of applications can reduce your installation time and training, and greatly
simplify spare parts management at your facilities. Our devices are designed for long-term signal accuracy, low
power consumption, immunity to electrical noise and simple programming.

Our compact, fast, high-quality 6 mm isolators are based on microprocessor technology to provide exceptional
performance and EMC-immunity for dedicated applications at a very low total cost of ownership. They can be
stacked both vertically and horizontally with no air gap separation between units required.

Our display range is characterized by its flexibility and stability. The devices meet nearly every demand for display
readout of process signals, and have universal input and power supply capabilities. They provide a real-time
measurement of your process value no matter the industry, and are engineered to provide a user-friendly and
reliable relay of information, even in demanding environments.

Installation notes:
This drawing applies to models 6350A2a and 6350B2a
Where: a = A (Single Channel) or B (Double Channel)

All drawings are shown as Double Channel.

For Single Channel installation Channel 2 (CH2) is not mounted (terminal 51-54 and 21-24)

For installation in the US the 6350 must be installed according to National Electrical Code (ANSI-
NFPA 70).
For installation in Canada the transmitter must be installed in a suitable enclosure to meet
installation codes stipulated in the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
For installation in Canada different intrinsically safe circuits need to be separated as outlined in the
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC)

The entity concept

Equipment that is FM / CSA -approved for intrinsic safety may be connected to barriers based on
the ENTITY CONCEPT. This concept permits interconnection of approved transmitters, meters and
other devices in combinations which have not been specifically examined by FM / CSA, provided
that the agency's criteria are met. The combination is intrinsically safe, if the entity concept is
acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction over the installation.
The entity concept criteria are as follows:
The intrinsically safe devices, other than barriers, must not be a source of power.
The maximum voltage Ui(VMAX) and current Ii(IMAX), and maximum power Pi(Pmax), which the
device can receive and remain intrinsically safe, must be equal to or greater than the voltage (Uo or
VOC or Vt) and current (Io or ISC or It) and the power Po which can be delivered by the barrier.
The sum of the maximum unprotected capacitance (Ci) for each intrinsically device and the
interconnecting wiring must be less than the capacitance (Ca) which can be safely connected to the
barrier.
The sum of the maximum unprotected inductance (Li) for each intrinsically device and the
interconnecting wiring must be less than the inductance (La) which can be safely connected to the
barrier.
The entity parameters Uo,VOC or Vt and Io,ISC or It, and Ca and La for barriers are provided by the
barrier manufacturer.

FISCO rules
The FISCO Concept allows the interconnection of intrinsically safe apparatus to associated
apparatus not specifically examined in such combination. The criterion for such interconnection is
that the voltage (Vmax), the current (Imax) and the power (Pi) which intrinsically safe apparatus
can receive and remain intrinsically safe, considering faults, must be equal or greater than the
voltage (Uo, Voc, Vt), the current (Io, Isc, It,) and the power (Po) which can be provided by the
associated apparatus (supply unit). In addition, the maximum unprotected residual capacitance (Ci)
and inductance (Li) of each apparatus (other than the terminators) connected to the Fieldbus must
be less than or equal to 5 nF and 10 H respectively.

In each I.S. Fieldbus segment only one active source, normally the associated apparatus, is
allowed to provide the necessary power for the Fieldbus system. The allowed voltage (Uo, Voc, Vt)
of the associated apparatus used to supply the bus must be limited to the range of 14V d.c. to 24V
d.c. All other equipment connected to the bus cable has to be passive, meaning that the apparatus
is not allowed to provide energy to the system, except to a leakage current of 50 A for each

connected device. Separately powered equipment needs a galvanic isolation to insure that the
intrinsically safe Fieldbus circuit remains passive.

The cable used to interconnect the devices needs to comply with the following parameters:

Loop resistance R': 15 ...150 /KM

Inductance per unit length L': 0.4…1mH/km
Capacitance per unit length C': 80 ...200 nF/km
C' = C' line/line + 0.5 C' line/screen, if both lines are floating
or
C'= C' line/line + C' line/screen, if the screen is connected to one line
Length of spur Cable: max. 30m
Length of trunk cable: max. 1Km
Length of splice: max. 1m

Terminators
At each end of the trunk cable an approved line terminator with the following parameters is suitable:
R = 90 ...100 
C = 0 ...2.2 F.

System evaluation
The number of passive devices like transmitters, actuators, connected to a single bus segment is
not limited due to I.S. reasons. Furthermore, if the above rules are respected, the inductance and
capacitance of the cable need not to be considered and will not impair the intrinsic safety of the
installation.

The sensor circuit is not infallibly galvanic isolated from the Fieldbus input circuit. However, the
galvanic isolation between the circuits is capable of withstanding a test voltage of 500Vac during 1
minute.

Installation Notes For FISCO and Entity Concepts:

1. The Intrinsic Safety Entity concept allows the interconnection of FM / CSA Approved
Intrinsically safe devices (Div 1 or Zone 0 or Zone1) and non.incendive apparatus (Div 2 or
Zone 2) ,with entity parameters not specifically examined in combination as a system when:
Uo or Voc or Vt  Vmax, Io or Isc or It  Imax, Po  Pi.
Ca or Co  Ci + Ccable, La or Lo  Li + Lcable, Po  Pi.
2. The Intrinsic Safety FISCO concept allows the interconnection of FM / CSA Approved
Intrinsically safe devices with FISCO parameters not specifically examined in combination as
a system when:
Uo or Voc or Vt  Vmax, Io or Isc or It  Imax, Po  Pi.
3. Dust-tight conduit seals must be used when installed in Class II and Class III environments.
4. Control equipment connected to the Associated Apparatus must not use or generate more
than 250 Vrms or Vdc.
5. Installation should be in accordance with ANSI/ISA RP12.6 (except chapter 5 for FISCO
Installations) “Installation of Intrinsically Safe Systems for Hazardous (Classified) Locations”
and the National Electrical Code® (ANSI/NFPA 70) Sections 504 and 505.
6. The configuration of associated Apparatus must be Factory Mutual Research or CSA
Approved under the associated concept.
7. Associated Apparatus manufacturer’s installation drawing must be followed when installing
this equipment.
