1. Design temperatures
Permissible ambient temperature
-20 ... +60 °C
-40 ... +60 °C only instruments with silicone oil filling
-70 ... +60 °C for models 733.31, 733.51 POLARgauge
version
For instruments with a permissible ambient temperature deviating from For instruments with a permissible ambient temperature deviating from
-20 ... +60 °C, this is indicated on the dial. -20 ... +60 °C, this is indicated on the dial.
Permissible medium temperature (instrument)
-20 ... +100 °C
-40 ... +100 °C
-20 ... +60 °C
The permissible medium temperature does not only depend on the instrument
design, but also on the ignition temperature of the surrounding gases, vapours or
dusts. Both aspects have to be taken into account. For filled instruments (option),
the permissible medium temperature is ≤ +100°C (marking with additional label
"liquid filling").
The limits of the permissible temperature ranges of an "instrument hook-up"
mounting arrangement are determined, in each case, by the component with the
greatest restriction.
2. Maximum surface temperature
The surface temperature of the instruments mainly depends on the medium
temperature of the application. The instrument itself does not contain any heat
sources. For determining the maximum surface temperature, besides the medium
temperature also other influences such as the ambient temperature and, if appli-
cable, the solar irradiation must be taken into account. For prevention, consider
the maximum medium temperature as maximum surface temperature, if it is not
possible to determine the real surface temperature even in the case of expected
malfunctions.
