*3: When connecting a BARD-820 to a receiver instrument having a feature to supply power to the connected field device,
such as a power distributor, perform wiring in such a way that the distributor’s internal DC power supply is not used and
the barrier is connected to both ends of the receiver instrument’s internal 250-⍀ resistor.

Also measure the resistance between terminals 3 and To replace a BARD barrier, disconnect the wiring for
C and check that the difference in resistance between the BARD (or detach terminal blocks for a BARD-820
terminals 1–A and 3–C is not greater than 60 m⍀. or -830), remove the BARD from the bracket or DIN
rail, and mount the new one.
(3) BARD-810
Measure the resistances between terminals 1 and A Revision Record
with the measuring current at 20 mA DC or less and
