The following features indicate the clear benefits of choosing an intrinsically safe design instead of an explosion-proof design and reflect the unique features of the Series X57 family of barriers.

• All components are immediately accessible - no time-consuming opening of explosion-proof housings.
• Personnel safety is assured because of low voltage operation.
• Standard wiring techniques in open cable trays or light gauge conduit save on material and labor costs during initial installation.
• Calibration and maintenance can be performed with the system in an operational status as though it were located in a general purpose area.
• Special skill levels are not needed to open heavy housings, test for gas, or shut down the process in order to service, or operate the instrumentation.
• Barrier replacement is accomplished by simple exchange of plug-in modules. There is no need to disconnect wiring.
• Barriers are manufactured in the U.S.A.( Woodland Hills, California) and in England (Washington, Tyne & Wear)
