For most non-voltage producing devices located in a hazardous
area, a single zener barrier that is negative-earth-grounded can
be used for intrinsic safety. Instrumentation that produces an
output (signal conditioners) usually requires two barriers, one for
each "floating" lead. Here, a dual-channel barrier can be provided
or for applications in which the instrument signal return level cannot
be reduced, a supply barrier and a low resistance return barrier can be
supplied.
