Use in potentially explosive atmospheres
IM/265Gx/Ax-EN-07 265Gx, 265Ax 15
2 Use in potentially explosive atmospheres
According to Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX):
When installing explosion-proof transmitters (electrical connection, grounding / equipotential
bonding, etc.), national regulations, DIN / VDE standards, explosion protection directives, and
the Ex test certificate of the device must be observed. The certified explosion-proof designation
for the transmitter is provided on the name plate.
2.1 Type-examination certificate/Declaration of conformity
For explosion-proof transmitter models, the EC-type-examination certificate or declaration of
conformity forms an integral part of these operating instructions.
2.2 Type of protection "intrinsic safety Ex i"
• Only intrinsically safe devices may be installed in the transmitter signal circuit. The signal
circuit can be interrupted while the transmitter is in operation (e.g., clamping/unclamping
signal lines).
• The housing may be opened during operation.
• Transmitters with and without remote seals and featuring type of protection "intrinsic safety
Ex i" may be directly integrated into the partition separating Zone 0 and Zone 1 (sensor
diaphragm in Zone 0, transmitter in Zone1), provided that the power is supplied via an
intrinsically safe circuit (Ex ia or Ex ib). (measuring ranges ≤400 mbar with Ex ia only)
• Test circuit (terminals "TEST +/-"): With type of protection "intrinsic safety", connections
should only be established to passive, intrinsically safe circuits. The category, explosion
group, and maximum values for Uo, Io, and Poof the intrinsically safe test circuit can be
determined on the basis of the intrinsically safe signal circuit connected.
IMPORTANT (NOTE)
Please observe the rules governing interconnection.
