(ATEX 100a) and has been approved for hazardous classified locations of Zone 1 and 2 by the
KEMA conform the European Standards of the EN 500xx series. The IFC 090 F/-EEx has the
following EC-type examination Certificate number:
The electrode circuits are wired by separate shielded cables and marked by the sheath color
(white and purple). The intrinsical safe "ib" electrode circuits inside the IFS x000 F-EEx primary
head have the following maximum values (entity parameters):
The two field coils inside the primary head are connected in series and provided with the type of
protection increased safety e conform to EN 50019 and additionally flameproof enclosure d in
accordance with EN 50018 or encapsulation m according to EN 50028. The coils have a
maximum resistance below 90 per coil with a wire diameter of at least 0.25 mm and insulation
class H (Tmax 180C) according to IEC 85. The field coils are supplied with a square-wave signal
with a peak voltage of 60 V maximum and a nominal current of 125 mA. The coil circuit is
protected by two series fuses in the IFC 090 -EEx electronics unit. The fuses are rated for a
maximum voltage of 250 Vac @ 50-60 Hz, have a breaking capacity of at least 35 A and switching
characteristics fast (F) to time-lag (T).
The IFC 090/-EEx signal converter consists of the pre-certified cylindrical housing of die-casted
aluminum (type AX/P-EEx with KEMA No. Ex-99.E.8128 U). It has two separate compartments,
divided from each other by an integrated wall with casted flameproof terminal feed-through. The
neck at the bottom of the housing that is connected to the wall-mounting bracket with junction box,
contains flameproof cable feed-through type LC-2/EEx, which is approved by KEMA under No.
Ex-01.E.2036 U. The wall-mounting bracket and junction box are also made of die-casted
aluminium. The signal converter housing is on both ends closed by a cylindrical cover with
M115x2-6H6g screw-thread and O-ring sealing. The signal converter has an ingress protection
degree of IP 65 / IP 67 conform to EN 60529.
See tables on the next pages for the electrical data of the available power supplies (e.g. mains
voltages, etc.). The safety barrier has the following maximum values (entity parameters):
The terminal compartment (with standard type of protection increased safety "e") is standard
equipped with two ATEX or E-generation approved "EEx e" cable glands. The terminal
compartment can also be provided as a flameproof enclosure "d", in which case ATEX or E-
generation approved "EEx d" cable glands of size Pg13.5, Pg16 or M20x1.5 are factory installed
or must be installed by the customer. For flameproof conduit systems, the terminal compartment
must have type of protection flameproof enclosure "d" according to EN 50018. The conduits must
be sealed by "EEx d" approved (within the ATEX 100a directive) sealing devices (i.e. stopping
box) directly at the conduit entrances of the as flameproof enclosure performed terminal
compartment. All used cable glands, blind plugs and sealing devices for conduit systems must
have an ingress protection degree of IP65 or better.
The above listed power supplies are protected by a mains fuse rated according the next table.
The IFC 090-EEx electronics unit is equipped with the following in-/output circuits. Terminals B1,
B and B2 can be configured as status or pulse outputs or as control inputs via the software. See
the table below for the electrical data of these in-/output circuits.
The difference between 115/230 Vac version and the 100/200 Vac version is the number of the
primary windings of the mains transformer.
The terminals indicated as B1, B and B2 can be configured as pulse in-/outputs by jumpers.
The IFC 090-EEx electronics unit is provided with an extension module that is used for data
communication (e.g. SMART, HART or RS485). In that case, the current output signal (I+, I) is
superposed with a sinusoidal voltage signal of 0.5 V. The extension module does not significantly
influence the nominal voltage Un, the nominal current In or the power dissipation.
Overheating protection
The mains transformer is protected against overheating by a temperature breaker in series with
the primary winding. The temperature breaker is casted within the compound of the transformer
and has an opening temperature of 125 C ( 5 K).
NOTE: The mains fuses for both electronics units are listed in Sect. 6 of this manual.
The PE terminal must be connected to the protective ground conductor of the mains supply.

The field cables that enter the terminal compartment of the IFC 090-EEx signal converter unit (i.e.
power supply, current and binary outputs) are non-intrinsically safe. To connect external devices
to the signal output terminals, the wiring requirements for the type of protection of the
compartment (standard: increased safety "e", optional: flameproof "d") must be conform to the
international or national standard involved (e.g. EN 60079-14).

Note: The binary outputs (terminals B1, B and B2) can only be configured as passive
outputs, the current output (terminals I+ and I) can only be configured as active output.
For power supply versions with the nominal voltage in the range of 100 to 230 Vac the PE
conductor must always be connected to the M5 clamp terminal marked with the safety earth
symbol that is press-fitted in the dividing aluminium wall of the signal converter housing. For the
24 Vac/dc power supply, the PE conductor may be connected, but it not required for the safety of
tthe flowmeter. The terminal arrangement is shown above.

The non-intrinsically safe terminals for connection of the power supply (1L and 0L ) must be
connected according to the relevant standard code of practice for electrical apparatus intended for
use in potentially hazardous locations, type of protection Increased Safety "e" or type of protection
Flameproof Enclosure "d", depending on the type of protection of the terminal compartment of the
signal converter housing.
To gain access to the connection terminals of the power supply, the half-circular cover plate of
insulating material must be slightly lifted at one end and then rotated downwards, see the
instruction on the cover plate. After connection of the power supply cable, the half-circular cover
plate must be restored into its original position, so that the minimum clearances and creepage
distances towards the intrinsically safe signal in-/output terminals are maintained.
The PE (or FE) conductor must be connected to the press-fitted M5 clamp terminal marked inside
the terminal compartment. This conductor must be guided through the rectangular opening in the
metal dividing plate that separates the non-intrinsically safe power supply terminals from the
intrinsically safe signal in-/output terminals.
The IFC 090i-EEx electronics unit is provided with intrinsically safe signal in-/output circuits due to
the installed pair of MODIS modules in accordance with the table below.
ALTOFLUX IFC 090 F-EEx and ALTOFLUX IFC 090 F / i-EEx 13
Overview of MODIS modules
Note!
When modules P-SA (or FA-ST) and DC-I are connected
in series, the internal capacitance Ci of 5 nF must be
subtracted from the Co of 132 nF. So the data plate will
list a Co of 127 nF.
Besides the shown intrinsically safe maximum values for voltages and current -which are based
on certain fault conditions as prescribed by the standard EN 50 020 - the nominal values for
current and voltage must also be respected otherwise a proper functioning of the modules is not
guaranteed!
Control input:
Input voltage LOW level: < 3V
Input voltage HIGH level: > 7V
Frequency range : 0 .. 12 KHz
DC-I Voltage: 20V
(active voltage source) Current: 30 mA
Internal resistance: 260
Possible combinations of the installed MODIS modules for the 24 Vac/dc power supply
version of the IFC 090i-EEx
Possible combinations of the installed MODIS modules for the 100-230 Vac power supply
version of the IFC 090i-EEx
Due to mechanical and electrical limitations, only the listed pairs of MODIS modules are possible.
The two modules each use two terminals of the bottom four terminals of the flameproof terminal
feed-through in the dividing wall between the electronics and terminal compartment of the signal
converter housing, except for the combination with module DC-I (only applicable for 24 Vac/dc
versions), where only two of the four terminals are used. Interconnection of the two modules, P-
SA with DC-I or FA-ST with DC-I is made internally.
The flameproof terminal feed-through has seven terminals in total, the top two terminals are used
for connection of the power supply, the third one is only used for mounting of a metal dividing
plate with insulating cover plate. The remaining four are used for the intrinsically safe signal in-
/output circuits of the installed MODIS modules.
The metal dividing plate and the insulating cover plate warrant the required separation distances
(i.e. clearances, creepage distances and distances through insulation) between the non-
intrinsically safe power supply terminals and the intrinsically safe signal in-/output circuits. The
insulating cover plate is provided with a sticker that contains important instructions how to remove
and re-install the cover plate and the conditions under which it should be established (circuits not
live !).
Important ! Carefully follow the instructions on the sticker that is glued to the top of the
insulating cover plate that covers the non-intrinsically safe power supply
terminals !
Other types of apparatus may only be connected to the intrinsically safe signal in-/outputs through
EEx-approved safety barriers, isolating interface units and the like. These barriers or units are not
depicted in the connection diagrams for reasons of readability. It is assumed that they are an
integrated part of the registering devices or as separate devices connected in series with them.
The registering devices may only be installed in the hazardous location if they also have a type of
protection for explosion safety according to the European Standards of the EN 500xx series, or if
they are constructed as prescribed in your standard national code of practice.
When the intrinsically safe signal in-/outputs are connected to other intrinsically safe or associated
apparatus, the maximum safety values (i.e. entity parameters) of all intrinsically safe circuits have
to be considered.
Important ! The 100230 Vac power supply versions of the IFC 090i-EEx signal converter
electronics unit with MODIS modules can only be equipped with passive outputs.
Therefore the connection diagrams with the numbers 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 12 are
applicable for the 100230 Vac power supply versions.

For the program functions and settings of the converter the standard Installation and operating
instructions have to be consulted. It must be noted that - depending on the IFC090 i-EEx version
installed - not all output/input functions are available.
Following menus do not apply for the IFC090 i-EEx versions Ex-i2 and Ex-i3:
(see also Sect. 4.4. "Table of settable functions" in the standard "Installation and operating
instructions" of the IFC090 K/F signal converter)
As a consequence, the chapters included in the standard Installations and operating instructions,
giving detailed descriptions of these menus, must be skipped.
4 Maintenance
The IFC 090 F/-EEx signal converter is maintenance free with regard to the flowmetering
properties. Within the scope of the periodical inspections, which are required for electrical
apparatus that are installed and used in hazardous classified locations, it is recommended to
check the flameproof enclosure on signs of damage or corrosion. This concerns the converter
housing.
IMPORTANT ! The following instructions must be followed carefully, if the IFC 090/-EEx
signal converter housing has to be opened respectively closed again!
Before opening
Make absolutely sure there is no explosion hazard!
If necessary provide a Gas-free certificate !
Make sure that all connecting cables are safely isolated from the power supply !
When the instructions above are strictly followed, the cover (with glass window) of the electronics
compartment may be removed. First unscrew the recessed head screw of the interlocking device
by a hollow-head screw wrench size 3, until the cover can rotate freely. Unscrew the cover with
the special plastic wrench (black) that is supplied with the apparatus.
After opening
The copper ground strip at the back of the electronics unit must be securely screwed to the
housing (back-end of electronics compartment) by screw SE (see figure below). The electronics
unit is screwed into the electronics compartment by two screws D. Before screws SE and D can
be accessed, the display unit must be removed via screws A.
Before the cover is screwed back into the housing, the screw-thread must be clean and well-
greased with an acid and resin-free grease, e.g. silicone grease.
Screw the cover as tight as possible into the housing by hand, until it cannot be opened by hand
anymore. Screw the recessed head screw of the interlocking device tight.
