Function

The fieldbus junction box is a passive device coupler that connects instruments to intrinsically safe segments. The housing (type F2) is made of sturdy aluminum for installation in rough environments Zone 1/Division 1.

As an associated apparatus, the junction box is permitted for trunk and spur connections that are rated intrinsically safe (Ex ia, Ex ib) for instruments located in Zone 0 ... 1/Division 1.

A choice of fixed screw terminals or plug-in spring terminals is available. Hard and capacitive grounding concepts are selectable via jumper.
