When installing, commissioning, operating and maintaining devices or de-
vice components of the IS-RPI system as an intrinsically safe electrical ap-
paratus in potentially explosive atmospheres, you must heed the EC-type of
examination certificate and the applicable national and local construction,
installation and operating regulations.
Terminal Base
The module RSD-BI-Ex16 may only be used with a RS-TB-Ex.SC or
RS-TB-Ex.SP intrinsically safe terminal base unit (Figure 1).
I/O-Module
Label
Terminal Base
Figure 1
The Terminal Bases may only be used with Modules or Gateways of the ISRPI-
System. Thus the intrinsically safe values of the backplane bus system are not ex-
ceeded (Figure 2).

Label
The product label is located on the inside of the module (Figure 1):
Cover plug for backplane bus
The Terminal Base is provided with a cover plug for the backplane bus ex works.

Figure 3
The cover plug can only be removed when another Terminal Base is connected.
The connection must not be connected to any signals, which exceed the intrinsi-
cally safe values of the backplane bus.
Key switch
The position of the key switch on the Terminal base is module specific (RSD-BI-
Ex16: Position 6) and must not be changed after wiring, so that a module of an-
other type cannot be mounted.
Supporting Terminals
Do not use the unused terminals (terminals 36, 37, 38, 39, 46, 47, 48) on this ter-
minal base unit. Using these terminals as supporting terminals can result in dam-
age to the module and/or unintended operation of your system (See Figure 4).
