MTL intrinsically safe fieldbus barriers

Crouse-Hinds series MTL fieldbus barriers provide intrinsically safe spur connections from a high-energy trunk, for connection to suitably certified Foundation™ fieldbus H1 instruments.  Our intrinsically safe fieldbus barriers are available in a variety of configurations and materials, maximizing appliction flexibility.  

  • 9373-FB3 range: Complete enclosure systems for 12 intrinsically safe spur connections
  • 9377-FB3 range:  Compact fieldbus barrier module for 12 intrinsically safe spur connections
  • 937x-FB2 range: Complete enclosure system for 6 or 12 intrinsically safe spur connections
  • 9372-FB range: Redundant fieldbus barrier enclosure for up to 6 intrinsically safe spur connections
  • 9387-FB range: Open frame, redundant fieldbus barrier with pre-assembled system components for up to 5 intrinsically safe spur connections

Open frame versions are designed for installation into user-selected field enclosures. These are suitable for applications requiring special enclosure features such as viewing window or removable gland plate, or where multiple Fieldbus Barrier segments are required in a single enclosure.  Each unit comprises of pre-wired and assembled modular components on a stainless steel baseplate, for installation into an Ex e certified field enclosure without the need for additional internal wiring or ancillary components.
