Different voltages can be used, enhancing safety in hazardous environments. Stay informed, design wisely! #IntrinsicSafety #RealPars #OpticIsolation #SafetyDesign | RealPars | Facebook

Intrinsically Safe Example: Conveyor Photo-eye Protecting against dust ignition hazards, let's consider a photo-eye on a conveyor in a flour plant. Here's how we ensure safety: 1️⃣ Assess room requirements: Class II, DIV 2 for hazardous atmosphere under normal conditions. 2️⃣ Select intrinsically safe barrier: Find a compatible barrier for the electrical panel. 3️⃣ Configure the setup: Set barrier to 'normally open' and use safe voltage/current levels. 4️⃣ Integration: Photo-eye triggers barrier
