NEPSI Conditions For Safe Use (X)
1. Symbol “X” is used to denote specific conditions of use:
a. Model 648 WTT or Model 3051S WPT type battery pack provided by the manufacturer
should be used
b. The surface resistivity of the antenna is greater than 1 gigaohm. To avoid electrostatic
charge build-up, it must not be rubbed or cleaned with solvents or a dry cloth
c. The Rosemount 2160 enclosure is made of aluminum alloy and given a protective
epoxy coating. However, care should be taken to protect it from impact or abrasion if
located in a Zone 0.
ATEX and IECEx Conditions For Safe Use (X)
Model numbers covered:
2160X**S***********I1****** and 2160X**E***********I1******, 2160X**S***********I7******, and
2160X**E***********I7****** (“*” indicates options in construction, function and materials).
1. The 2160 may be used in a hazardous area with flammable gases and vapors with
apparatus groups IIC, IIB and IIA, and with temperature classes T1 to T5.
The temperature class of the installation will be determined from the higher of the
process or ambient temperature.
2. It is a special condition of the certification that the temperature of the electronics housing
is in the range of –50 °C to 70 °C. It must not be used outside this range.
It will be necessary to limit the external ambient temperature if the process temperature
is high. (See “Technical Data” below).
3. Suitably trained personnel shall carry out installation in accordance with the applicable
code of practice.
4. The user should not repair this equipment.
5. If the equipment is likely to come into contact with aggressive substances, it is the
responsibility of the user to take suitable precautions that prevent it from being adversely
affected, thus ensuring that the type of protection is not compromised.
• Aggressive Substances: e.g. acidic liquids or gases that may attack metals or solvents
that may affect polymeric materials
• Suitable Precautions: e.g. regular checks as part of routine inspections or establishing
from the material's data sheet that it is resistant to specific chemicals
