Use in potentially explosive atmospheres

Special regulations must be observed in potentially explosive areas for the power supply, signal
inputs/outputs and ground connection. The information relating specifically to explosion
protection that appears within the individual sections must be observed.
Notice - Potential damage to parts!
All parts must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications, as well as
relevant standards and regulations.
Commissioning and operation must comply with EN 60079-14 (Installation of equipment in
potentially explosive atmospheres).
2.1

Approvals

The approvals for use of the TTF300 temperature transmitter in potentially explosive
atmospheres can be found in the section of the operating instructions titled "Ex relevant
specifications".
2.2

Grounding

If, for functional reasons, the intrinsically safe circuit needs to be grounded by means of
connection to the equipotential bonding, it may only be grounded at one point.
2.3

Interconnection

If transmitters are operated in an intrinsically safe circuit, proof that the interconnection is
intrinsically safe must be provided in accordance with DIN VDE 0165/Part 1 (EN 60079-25/2004
and IEC 60079-25/2003). An interconnection certificate must always be provided for intrinsically
safe circuits.
2.4

Configuration

The TTF300 transmitter can be configured in the potentially explosive atmosphere in
compliance with the interconnection certificate, both directly in the potentially explosive
atmosphere using approved handheld HART terminals and by coupling an Ex modem into the
circuit outside the potentially explosive atmosphere.
