Tyco EXI800 Interface Module

The EXI800 Interface Module, used with a galvanic isolator, provides a path for an MX Panel to transparently communicate to slave devices (800Ex Detectors, IF800Ex Interface Module or CP840Ex Addressable Break Glass Callpoint) connected to the Intrinsically Safe loop. The interface reduces the standard MX loop supply voltage and signalling currents to levels that are acceptable for hazardous areas. The EXI800 can detect a short circuit on the left-loop, the right-loop, or the IS loop and will isolate the offending loop connections from the other loop connections. The IS loop output of the EXI800 interfaces with the Pepperl+Fuchs KFD0-CS-Ex1.54 Galvanic Isolator, supplying loop voltage and signalling currents to the Intrinsically Safe loop.
