Operating safety information

Before switching on, ensure that the specified environmental conditions in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter and/or in the data sheet are complied with and that the power supply
voltage corresponds with the voltage of the transmitter.
When there is a chance that safe operation is no longer possible, put the device out of operation
and secure against unintended operation.

Use in areas requiring ignition protection

Caution – Damage to parts!
The installation must be performed according to the manufacturer requirements and the valid
norms and regulations for it.
The commissioning and operation must be performed according to the ATEX 137 or
BetrSichV (Operational safety regulation), EN60079-14 (Electrical apparatus for explosive gas
atmospheres. Electrical installations in hazardous areas (other than mines)) and EN50281-1-2
and 2/A1 (Electrical apparatus for use in the presence of combustible dust).
2.1

Degree of protection

The connection parts of the temperature sensor are to be installed so that at least the minimum
degree of protection of the explosion protection used is reached.
2.2

Temperature classes

The temperature sensors are designated with the T6 temperature class. If the existing explosive
gas atmosphere is assigned a temperature class of T5, T4, T3, T2, or T1, the temperature
sensor can be used at correspondingly higher process temperatures.
2.3

Electrostatic charging

For use in explosion risk areas, attention must be paid so that an unallowable electrostatic
charging of the temperature sensor is avoided.
2.4

Ground connection

If the intrinsically safe circuit has to be grounded to the potential equalization for functional
reasons, this may only be grounded at one point.
2.5

Interconnection

If the temperature sensor is operated in an intrinsically safe circuit, a certificate according to DIN
VDE 0165/08.98 (=EN 60 079-14/1997 as well as IEC 60 079-14/1996) about the intrinsic safety
of the interconnection is to be provided. An interconnection certificate for intrinsically safe
electrical circuits is to be produced.
