Installation for Equipment Category 2 and 3 (Zone 1 and 2)
For equipment category 2 and 3, the EE100Ex may only be powered via intrinsically safe power supply
devices or protective barriers.
The EE100Ex is a 2-wire, loop powered measurement device. Channel 1 (CH1) and channel 2 (CH2)
must be galvanic isolated from each other during operation.
The entire EE100Ex including the sensing probe must be installed within the same classified Zone /
category. The probe may not be installed in a Zone bushing.
