SICSpro Connection
The IND560x terminal supplies Intrinsic Safe Power (6 wires, with two power, two IS-CL and two
Ground lines) for SICSpro platform.
In the SICSpro version of the IND560x terminal, the cable connection from the platform is made to
the main board Digital Scale Terminal (Figure 3-22).
The SICSpro platforms are supplied with a discrete length of open-end cable, which connects to the
Digital Scale Terminal on the IND560x terminal's main board.

COM1 Serial Port Connection
The COM1 port includes connections for an intrinsically safe serial device. Figure 3-23 indicates
which terminal is which signal on the COM1 port. The cable length of this connection is limited to
10m (33 ft.).
An example of connecting to an RS-232 device in the safe area through a Zener diode barrier is
shown in Figure 3-24. Refer to the entity approval values of COM1 when selecting a barrier. Note
that seals and other protective devices will also be required to meet hazardous area wiring codes.
