Signal conditioning devices including isolated repeaters, converters, and transmitters ensure that process signals such as 4-20 mA and HART from field instruments in hazardous areas reach the control room with full accuracy and galvanic isolation. In oil and gas facilities, ground potential differences, electromagnetic interference from motors and VFDs, and long cable runs can corrupt process signals. PR Electronics signal conditioners — including the SIL 2/3 certified PR 9106B and PR 9107B — eliminate these issues while maintaining HART transparency for smart transmitter diagnostics.
Oil and gas environments containing flammable gases and vapors classified as Zone 0, Zone 1, or Zone 2 hazardous areas under ATEX and IECEx standards. Intrinsically safe (I.S.) barriers such as the PR 9106B limit the electrical energy available to field circuits below ignition thresholds, allowing live maintenance without hot work permits. PR Electronics I.S. interfaces carry ATEX, IECEx, FM, CSA, and INMETRO approvals, covering global refinery and offshore platform requirements.
Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) in oil and gas require every component in the safety loop to carry appropriate SIL certification per IEC 61508. PR Electronics 9000-series devices are SIL 2/3 fully assessed, meaning their hardware failure rates (FMEDA), systematic capability, and diagnostic coverage have been independently verified by a notified body. This allows process engineers to include PR Electronics barriers and converters in SIL calculations for emergency shutdown, fire and gas detection, and overpressure protection loops.
We have highly educated I.S. specialists in all countries where PR electronics is represented, and our competent specialists are happy to answer any questions you might have in relation to intrinsically safe solutions for hazardous locations and locations where there are risks of explosions.
