The Pepperl + Fuchs Z896 is a dual-channel Zener barrier expertly engineered for intrinsically safe signal transmission in hazardous environments worldwide. Rated to handle up to 250 V, 85 mA per channel and equipped with analogue signal pass-through, it ensures secure communication between field devices and external control systems. Built to ATEX, IECEx, and FM standards, this device uses integrated Zener diodes to restrict energy transfer, triggering the built-in 50 mA fuse during fault conditions. Its rugged construction includes DIN‑rail mounting and operation from –20 °C to +60 °C, providing reliable intrinsic safety integration in industries ranging from oil & gas to chemical processing globally.

Why Should You Buy the Pepperl + Fuchs 2 Channel Zener Barrier with Analogue Output?

The Z896 is the choice when safety, global compliance, and signal integrity matter. Its dual-channel architecture allows simultaneous analogue signal protection, while the asymmetrical Zener design and integrated fuse provide reliable fault isolation. This barrier enables seamless integration of sensor and control loops without sacrificing safety or performance, even in the most demanding global environments.

Unmatched Advantages to Users

  • Dual Zener-protected channels for safe, reliable signal transmission.
  • High safety ratings: ATEX, IECEx, FM approved for international hazard zones.
  • Robust protection: Metal oxide Zener diodes and 50 mA fuse isolate unsafe voltage surges.
  • DIN-rail mountable with IP20 rating for secure, space-saving installation in control panels.
  • Wide temperature tolerance (–20 °C to +60 °C) ensures performance across global climates.

Wide Application Range

  • Intrinsically safe process instrumentation in oil, gas & chemical sectors
  • Industrial temperature and pressure sensor integration in hazardous areas
  • Safe connection of analogue field transmitters to external control systems
  • Hazard area monitoring systems in tank farms and refineries
  • Control systems in mining, chemical plants, and explosion-risk industrial environments
