1.4 Intrinsic Safety Design (Intrinsic Safety “ic”)
The module achieves intrinsic safety via the terminal board. Key parameters:
- Relay contact physical parameters:Vmax = 24 V, Imax = 261 mA, Pi = 6.26 W, Ci = 0 μF, Li = 0 mH
- Wiring requirements:Cable capacitance (Ccable) ≤ 60 pF/ft, cable inductance (Lcable) ≤ 0.2 μH/ft.Must ensure Ci + Ccable ≤ Ca and Li + Lcable ≤ La.
Applicable devices: Can be used with non‑sparking (nA) equipment, supporting intrinsically safe connections for relay contacts and discrete outputs.

2. Installation and Wiring Standards
2.1 Terminal Board Wiring Requirements
- Wire Size & Torque:Euro‑style terminal blocks: 24–12 AWG wire, screw torque 4 in‑lb (0.45 Nm).Barrier‑type terminal blocks: 22–12 AWG wire, screw torque 9.6 in‑lb (1.1 Nm).
- Conductor Material: Only copper conductors rated 90 °C (194 °F) or higher. For ambient temperatures above 60 °C, use conductors rated 105 °C (221 °F) or higher.
- Wiring Standards: Comply with Class I Division 2 / Zone 2 wiring practices: ANSI/NFPA 70 (US), Canadian Electrical Code (Canada), or IEC 60079‑25 (international).
2.2 Power and Load Connections
- Power Supply: Powered via GE‑specified power distribution boards (e.g., JPDS, JPDG) with current limited to 3.5 A max. Use certified switched‑mode power supplies (SMPS).
- Load Protection: Customer‑supplied contact wetting power must have independent overcurrent protection. Max. 15 A per conductor. In North America, use UL‑listed fuses ≤3 A or approved power supplies (e.g., Phoenix Contact QUINT‑PS series).
- Terminations: Field terminals connect directly to copper conductors with stripped insulation. Bare conductor connectors (e.g., ferrules) are allowed. No intermediate adapters permitted.
3. Product Updates and Compatibility
3.1 Version Update Highlights
- Terminal Board Expansion: Revision R adds support for WRO series terminal boards including IS40yWROBH1A, IS40yWROFH1A, with updated electrical ratings and terminal wiring details.
- Certification Upgrade: Classified location certifications in Appendices A–C are updated, adding HazLoc certifications for WRO series terminal boards.
- Document Compliance: Installation and maintenance shall follow manual GEH‑6725R (Revised September 2020). Compatibility with other Mark VIe modules (controllers, I/O) is officially validated by GE.
3.2 System Compatibility
- Controller Compatibility: Compatible with Mark VIe controllers (e.g., IS420UCSCH1, IS420UCSDH1) and IONet switches, with communication via standard cabling.
- Power Distribution: Supports JPDS/JPDG power systems, TMR (Triple Modular Redundant) control power, and dual I/O wetting power for high availability.
Software Support: Configured and diagnosed via ToolboxST software (document GEH‑6703). Supports integration with Mark VIeS safety systems.

4. Safety Warnings and Precautions
- Explosion Risk Prevention:Do NOT connect or disconnect the module, cables, or terminal boards while energized unless the area is confirmed non‑hazardous.Do NOT substitute any components, as this may invalidate Class I Division 2 compliance.
- Electrical Safety:De‑energize all circuits before wiring. Use certified test equipment rated for the applied voltage.Isolate terminal board wetting power from module power to avoid short circuits.
- Maintenance Practices:Only qualified, trained personnel may service the equipment.Follow intrinsic safety wiring requirements in GEH‑6725R.Periodically check terminal screw torque and conductor insulation integrity.
