CAUTION
Improper installation or modification can damage the device and thus invalidate the approval.
Do not modify the device. In particular, use the cable entries, which are certified for the corresponding approval, for the
cable connection.
NOTICE
The electrical terminal compartment may only be opened for installation, to make electrical connections, or for
maintenance.
NOTICE
If the device is partially or completely open, the degree of protection specified in the technical data is no longer guaranteed.
Mount the device as specified. The properties associated with the degree of protection are not guaranteed unless the
device is properly mounted.
General explosion protection
WARNING
Use
You may only use this device in combustible and/or hazardous areas if it is marked for this use.
Special explosion protection
WARNING
Flame penetration distances
Following device installation, all flame penetration distances must have a clearance of at least 30 mm from stationary parts
that are not part of the device. Otherwise, the safety of the flameproof device is not guaranteed.
WARNING
For operation in Zone 0
The transmitter corresponds to category 1/2 and may be installed in Zone 0.
The EC-type examination certificate applies to installation of the device in the walls of containers and pipelines in which
explosive gas/air or vapor/air mixtures occur only under atmospheric conditions; for pressure: 0.8 to 1.1 bar (11.6 to
19.9 psi); temperature: -20 to +60 °C (-4 to +140 °F)
The permissible ambient temperature range for the transmitter is: see nameplate or technical data.
The operator may use the device under non-atmospheric conditions outside the limits specified in the EC-type examination
certificate (or the certification applicable in the country of use) at the operator's own risk if safety measures which may be
necessary in accordance with use conditions (explosive mixture) have been taken.
Make sure to comply with the limit values specified in the general technical data in all cases.
The installation must be sufficiently tight (IP67 according to EN 60529). For instance, an industry standard (e.g. DIN, NPT)
threaded connector is suitable for the IP67 degree of protection.
