Subject to alteration A5 ForewordThis is not just a catalogue. It is what you have always looked for - a selection guide to choose the construction you need for your project, your plant, your application .. CREATED TO PROVIDE YOUR cable SOLUTIONThe European Standard EN 50288-7 is the first Standard for Instrumentation and Control Cables which addresses the whole range of requirements and needs of general and specific industrial cable applications. Contrary to already existing official regulations and specifications, the new standard covers a huge variety of cable constructions as used today in the international scene for global business. A meaningful, comprehensive - but still standardised - offering on different material and construction variations allows you to select cable constructions, which are part of the Standard but still are covering the necessity of the new standard will be complemented by European Standards for Material and Test.

6 As yet these standards do not exist, so reference is made either to IEC Standards or national on many years of experience in international business, being project oriented or based on customer site requirements, using the new European standard as a solid base, we have defined a very wide product range with the intention to cover your field driven product selected and designed a product programme with the goal in mind to cover all usual applications. Environmental, electrical, mechanical, laying and safety requirements result in a substantial product family offering. This first section covers all product family related information. Specific type information will be provided on request or through other very systematic organisation of this product family guide, allows you to select your product according to your application and needs in a very efficient manner.

Introduction of Standards and Product The StandardsThe product programme Instrumentation cable ICON covers products which are based on the new European standard EN 50288-7 and the US-American standards UL 13, UL 2250 and UL 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 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 special importance is the fact, that this standard more or less completely describes and regulates the wide range of constructive elements and requirements of Instrumentation Cables used standard enables the user to convert all systems, security, environmental and installation demands to appropriate products with wanted standard is supplemented by well suited material and test standards, either EN- or IEC-based.

8 Which allows to specify needed products in a conclusive 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 the application of this standard means fulfilling the requirements of the European Low Voltage Directive . 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. Its as installation guide is mandatory in the USA, however, it is also practised in some other , Control and Thermocouple extension Cables will thereby meet the following standards and types: 300 V Power Limited Tray cable (PLTC) acc.

Subject to alteration The Product ProgrammeIn all Standards mentioned above no finished products are specified; the standards describe only the individual cable elements, the constructional possibilities, specify materials, dimensions and test requirements with normative by experiences of many years in the international project business KERPEN defined its product programme ICON covering two parts: Standard Types and Customised Types Standard Types The part Standard Types contains a comprehensive product offer suited to the usual market demands. It describes thousands of products in detail and appeals particularly to those users who are responsible for product specifications for world wide Customised Types The part Customised Types gives an overview of the alternatives and possibilities in designs that the standards allow.

10 For each cable element different possible technical solutions are listed (see page F2).Appropriate products can be offered on Structural Overview Standard Types Customised Types - Select available product - Get tailor made product from thousands of constructions based on ICONTM design rules - No need to write specifications - Customised technical documentation technical documentation available based on intern. standards - Quick quotations for estimators, - Customer specific quotations urgent demands and bulk contracts for project packages - High cost effectiveness due to - Optimised costs for slimmer procurement process dedicated project specifications - Reduced production lead time - Shorter manufacturing process and/or delivery from stock due to modular design concept Known quality based on international safety rules from reliable project partner A8 KERPEN GmbH & Co.
