Thanks Michael,
I have used RC1 and am aware as to how it should be utilised. The jist of my question may not have been clear. I apologise for that.
What I need to know is that normally in a Hazardous area, the voltage allowed is around 8.2V max, whereas since i am going to mount the V1040 in an ex proof enclosure, which will be situated in this hazardous area, i will have to provide either a 12 V or 24 V for the V1040 and a separate 24 V for the CANbus. This is over the allowable limit. Is there any way in which I can achieve this?
