Emerson KL3105X1-BA1 IS Thermocouple/mV CHARM - Intrinsically Safe Temperature Measurement for Hazardous Areas

The Emerson KL3105X1-BA1 IS Thermocouple/mV CHARM delivers certified intrinsically safe temperature measurement for DeltaV distributed control systems deployed in Zone 0/Division 1 hazardous locations. Engineered for oil & gas, chemical, pharmaceutical, and petrochemical facilities requiring the highest level of explosion protection, this analog input module provides reliable thermocouple and millivolt signal acquisition in atmospheres where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts may be continuously present.

Core Technical Specifications

  • Sensor Compatibility: Thermocouples (B, E, J, K, N, R, S, T) and mV signals (±20mV, ±50mV, ±100mV)
  • Intrinsic Safety: Certified for Zone 0/Division 1 hazardous area installation
  • Power Requirements: CHARM Bus +6.3VDC at 0mA, Field Circuit +24VDC at 23mA
  • Operating Temperature: -40°C to +70°C ambient range
  • Terminal Block Key: C5 keying for proper CHARM identification
  • Environmental Protection: ISA-S71.04-1985 Class G3 conformal coating
  • System Compatibility: DeltaV v11.3.1+ with SD Plus, SX, SQ, MQ, MX, PK controllers

Intrinsically Safe Certifications

Globally certified for the most demanding hazardous area classifications:

  • ATEX Zone 0: II 1G Ex ia IIC T4 Ga for continuous explosive atmosphere exposure
  • IECEx Zone 0: Ex ia IIC T4 Ga international certification
  • FM Division 1: Class I, Division 1, Groups A-D for North American installations
  • CSA Division 1: Class I, Division 1, Groups A-D Canadian approval
  • Marine: DNV and ABS certified for offshore platforms and FPSO vessels

Hazardous Area Applications

Offshore Oil & Gas Production: Monitor process temperatures in Zone 0 areas surrounding wellheads, separators, and crude storage tanks on offshore platforms and floating production facilities. The intrinsically safe design eliminates ignition sources in atmospheres where hydrocarbon vapors are continuously present during normal operations.

Refinery Process Units: Measure reactor temperatures, distillation column profiles, and heat exchanger performance in Division 1 classified areas within catalytic crackers, alkylation units, and coker facilities. Type K and Type J thermocouples provide reliable measurement in corrosive refinery atmospheres.

Chemical Reactor Monitoring: Track exothermic reaction temperatures in batch reactors and continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTR) located in Zone 0 areas where solvent vapors or reactive chemical atmospheres exist. Multi-point thermocouple arrays enable precise temperature profiling for reaction control and safety interlocks.

Pharmaceutical Solvent Processing: Monitor temperatures in solvent recovery systems, crystallization vessels, and drying ovens classified as Zone 0 due to continuous flammable vapor presence. GMP-compliant installations benefit from factory calibration and no-maintenance design supporting validation requirements.

Petrochemical Ethylene Plants: Measure cracking furnace tube temperatures, quench tower conditions, and compression train bearing temperatures in Division 1 areas. High-temperature Type R and Type S thermocouples withstand extreme conditions in pyrolysis furnaces.

Intrinsically Safe Design Principles

Energy limitation ensures safe operation in explosive atmospheres:

  • Current Limitation: Field circuit power limited to 23mA maximum prevents sufficient energy accumulation for ignition
  • Voltage Limitation: +24VDC field circuit voltage maintained below ignition threshold for all gas groups
  • Galvanic Isolation: Complete electrical isolation between field circuits and CHARM bus prevents fault propagation
  • Entity Concept: Certified as intrinsically safe entity for connection to approved IS barriers and field devices
  • Fault Tolerance: Maintains intrinsic safety under single-fault and two-fault conditions per IEC 60079-11

Thermocouple Type Selection for Hazardous Areas

Type Temperature Range Hazardous Area Applications
Type K -200°C to 1260°C General purpose for reactors, furnaces, and process vessels in Zone 0/1 areas
Type J -40°C to 750°C Reducing atmospheres, vacuum distillation, and older equipment retrofits
Type T -200°C to 350°C Cryogenic LNG facilities, refrigeration systems, low-temperature storage
Type E -200°C to 900°C Highest EMF output for long cable runs in offshore platforms
Type N -200°C to 1260°C Improved stability vs Type K for critical safety measurements
Type R/S 0°C to 1480°C High-temperature pharmaceutical sterilization and incineration
Type B 200°C to 1700°C Extreme high-temperature petrochemical cracking furnaces

Installation Requirements for Hazardous Areas

Critical installation guidelines for intrinsically safe operation:

  • Documentation: Refer to ATEX/IECEx installation instructions (Doc 12P6523) and DeltaV IS-CHARMs control drawings (12P6122, 12P6123)
  • Baseplate: Must be installed on certified IS CHARM Baseplate (KL4210X1-BA1 or equivalent)
  • Wiring: Use only approved IS cable with blue insulation; maintain separation from non-IS circuits per NEC Article 504
  • Barriers: Connect field devices through certified intrinsic safety barriers or isolators
  • Grounding: Follow equipotential bonding requirements per IEC 60079-14
  • Hot Work: System must be de-energized before CHARM removal or insertion - hot-swap NOT supported

Environmental Ruggedness

Parameter Specification
Operating Temperature -40°C to +70°C
Relative Humidity 5% to 95% non-condensing
Shock Resistance 10g ½-sine wave for 11ms
Vibration Resistance 1mm peak-to-peak (2-13.2 Hz); 0.7g (13.2-150 Hz)
Airborne Contaminants ISA-S71.04-1985 Class G3 with conformal coating

Maintenance & Serviceability

Designed for long-term reliability in hazardous environments:

  • No Calibration Required: Factory calibrated for life, eliminating periodic calibration and associated hot work permits
  • No User-Serviceable Parts: Sealed construction prevents unauthorized modifications that could compromise intrinsic safety
  • Do Not Disassemble: Opening the module voids certifications and creates potential ignition sources
  • Replacement Protocol: Must de-energize system and obtain hot work permit before CHARM replacement in hazardous areas
