■
Mounting within non-metallic enclosures:
All electrically-conductive thermometer components within the hazardous area must be
provided with equipotential bonding.
■
Neither repairs nor structural modications are permitted, and any would void the
guarantee and the respective certication.
■
The manufacturer shall not be responsible for constructional modications after delivery
of the instruments.
8. Safety-related instructions for the dierent variants
8.1 Variant 1:
ATEX/IECEx Ex d housings or connection heads (with connection terminals, without
transmitter). Evaluation of the resistance or the thermoelectric potential between electronics
outside of the hazardous area.
Use in zone 1, marking II 2G Ex d IIC T1-T6 Gb
The ameproof housing or the connection head is in zone 1 (or zone 2). The sensor is in
zone 1. In the case of a separation of Ex-zones, a thermowell (from corrosion-resistant
steel, min. wall thickness 1 mm) must be used. In this case, no power limitation is needed,
since no failure source can occur from the evaluation electronics.
Use with a thermowell at the partition to zone 0, marking II 1/2G Ex d IIC T1-T6 Ga/Gb
The ameproof housing or the connection head is in zone 1 (or zone 2). The sensor is
within a thermowell (min. wall thickness 1 mm) which extends into zone 0 via a process
connection.
The thermometer should therefore be operated with a power-limiting circuit.

A power supply with Ex ia circuitry fullls these conditions, but is not required if the limits
can be achieved through other measures. The responsibility rests with the operator.

The permissible ambient temperatures for third-party products can be seen from the
relevant approvals and/or data sheets.
