GeneralThe apparatus must be operated in accordance with the data provided in the datasheet and this operating instruction. In particular, the maximum rated voltage and the temperature range must be adhered to. The special conditions must be adhered to! The EU-type examination certificate has to be observed.
Ambient temperatureThe temperature ranges, according to temperature class, are given in the EC-Type Examination Certificate.
Installation, commissioningThe associated apparatus must, as a minimum, fulfill the requirements for degree of protection ia and for Groups II or III, as appropriate for the operating conditions. Due to the possible risk of ignition that can occur as a result of faults and/or transient currents in the equipotential bonding system, galvanic isolation in the supply and signal current circuit is preferred. Associated apparatus without galvanic isolation may only be used if the appropriate requirements as set out in IEC 60079-14 are met. The intrinsic safety is only assured in connection with an appropriate related apparatus and according to the proof of intrinsic safety.
MaintenanceNo modifications must be undertaken on apparatus, which is operated in hazardous areas. Repairs to such apparatus are not permissible.
Special conditions
Protection against dangerous electrostatic chargingThe device should be protected from dangerous electrostatic charges.
Protection from mechanical dangerWhen used in the temperature range below -20 °C the sensor should be protected from knocks by the provision of an additional housing.
Degree of protection required when installing connecting componentsIP20 according to IEC 60529:2001
Other conditionsRefer to the relevant EC type examination certificate to see the relationship between the connected circuit type, the maximum permitted ambient temperature and the temperature class as well as effective inner reactances.
