Introduction of Standards and Product Programme
The Standards
The product programme “Instrumentation Cable ICON®“ covers products which are based
on the European standard EN 50288-7 and the US-American standards UL 13, UL 2250 and
UL 1277.
This product programme gives extensive coverage to the requirements of the different
Installation and Safety Regulations which are applied for measurement, control and monitoring
systems in industrial plants. As a result the user has a product programme at his disposal for
applications world wide.
EN 50288-7
The European standard EN 50288-7 represents the first standard for instrumentation cables
for onshore applications which has been created by a recognised international
standardisation organisation.
The future meaning of this standard will be underlined by the fact that it will
also become national standard in all CENELEC attached countries (at present
28). National standards conflicting with the EN-Standard will have to be
withdrawn after a transitional period.
UL 13, UL 2250 and UL 1277
Instrumentation, Control and Thermocouple extension cables according to
above standards have to be applied in those systems, where “Installation and
Safety regulations“ are based on the “National Electrical Code“ (NEC).
The NEC Handbook is published by the “National Fire Protection Association“ a leading
US standardisation for safety, particularly for fire protection. As installation guide it is
mandatory in the USA, however, it is also practised in some other countries.
Instrumentation, Control and Thermocouple extension cables
will thereby meet the following standards and types:
⇒ 300 V “Power Limited Tray Cable” (PLTC) acc. to UL 13
“Instrumentation Tray Cable”(ITC) acc. to UL 2250
⇒ 600 V “Tray Cable” (TC) acc. to UL 1277
