3 Product description
3.1 General information
The GTF 103-Ex temperature probes are designed as integrated probes for use in explosion-
prone areas of all zones. With their modular design, they offer maximum flexibility.
The probes have a connecting head with protection rating IP 65, which is either use for con-
nection of the outside conductor only or also offers space for a head transmitter.
The measuring inserts of the GTF 103-Ex are available in 2 different sensor element groups,
resistance thermometer: Pt 100, Pt 1000 or thermocouple: Type K.
Only mineral-insulated resistance thermometers and/or mineral-insulated thermocouples are
used as sensor elements.
The materials used for the probe parts that come into contact with the medium consist of
stainless steel (e.g. 1.4404, 1.4435, 1.4571 or Inconel 600). This guarantees high resistance to
a wide variety of chemical compounds.
The range of use, depending on the version, theoretically covers a medium temperature of -
200 °C to +600 °C (900 °C). This is limited by the temperature class of the Ex area!
The permissible environmental temperature in the area of the connecting head depends on the
temperature class, the temperature of the explosion-prone area and the medium temperature.
It is a maximum of -20 °C to +80 °C (refer also to chapter 4.1).
With temperatures above 100°C, all GTF 103-Ex must be ordered with a minimum extension
tube length (standard = 50 mm). The extension tube length must be selected such that the

permissible environmental temperature of the head is not exceeded depending on the measur-
ing temperature and the installation situation.
Recommendation for minimum necessary extension tube lengths with good ventilation:
Measuring temperatures up to 250 °C => extension tube length 50 - 100 mm
Measuring temperatures up to 400 °C => extension tube length 100 - 200 mm
Measuring temperatures above 400 °C => extension tube length 200 mm or longer
The measuring inserts of the GTF 103-Ex series are interchangeable, except for the measur-
ing inserts with a probe tube diameter of 3 mm.
There a multitude of base types of GTF 103-Ex available that can all be custom assembled.

3.3 Which temperature probe, transmitter do I need?
You can easily determine the temperature probe or temperature transmitter for your specific
application from the table below.
Zone 0 or 20
If the temperature must be detected in Ex Zone 0 or 20, the appropriate GTF103-Ex tempera-
ture probe in ignition protection class Ex ia IIC T6 can be used.
Only ATEX-approved devices can be used as display and/or control devices that meet the re-
quirements of the corresponding zones.
Zone 0/1 or 20/21 (zone-separating)
If the temperature must be detected in Ex Zone 0 or 20 and the probe connection is outside of
this zone, the probe must be installed as appropriately zone-separating. For this purpose, the
appropriate, suitable GTF103-Ex temperature probes in ignition protection class Ex ia IIC T6
are used.
Only ATEX-approved devices can be used as display and/or control devices that meet the re-
quirements of the corresponding zones.
Zone 1, 2 or 21, 22
If the temperature must be detected in Ex Zone 1, 2 or 21, 22, the appropriate GTF103-Ex
temperature probe in ignition protection class Ex ia IIC T6 or Ex e IIC T6 and Ex ia IIIC or Ex tb
IIIC can be used.
If the display and/or control device is in Zone 1, 2 or 21, 22, only ATEX-approved devices of
the appropriate zone can be used.
If the display and/or regulating device is outside of the Ex area, Ex approval is not required if
the GTF 103-Ex temperature probe in ignition protection class Ex e IIC T6 or Ex tb IIIC is used
and the safety instructions from chapter 2.4 are observed.

4.2 Connection values and environmental conditions
A maximum of 25 mW should be applied to the measuring current circuit. When this value is
observed, the temperature on the probe tube increases by a maximum of 4 °C in relation to the
environmental temperature. The GTF 103-Ex must only be used if this temperature increase in
relation to the medium temperature within the container is permissible.
If an additional load is applied to the measuring current circuit in the event of an error, the in-
dependent heating of the probe tube must be factored in during use.
The sum of the medium temperature and the temperature from independent heating of
the probe tube must always - even in the event of an error - be less that the ignition
temperature of the medium!

5.3 Cable and conductor gland (CCG)
The connecting heat has at least IP 65 protection rating, depending on the version.
The customer is obligated to only use the cable with the specified diameter and to carry
out proper installation. There is a risk of explosion if the cable installation is defective!
Attention: The cables and conductors must be secured (e.g. with a cable clamp) in
a manner such that they cannot be pulled out of the gland.
The screw of the CCG must be checked in regular intervals to ensure tightness and re-
tightened as necessary. Conversions and modifications of the gland elements are not
permitted. Only original spare parts can be used for any repair work.
There are two different variants of the CCG available:
5.3.1 Cable screw gland
The intermediate support of the cable screw gland is adhered to the connecting head at
the factory. Removal or loosening of the intermediate support with force is not permitted
(torque > 3.75 Nm).
Only round cables with outside diameters (OD) between 5 and 9 mm are permitted.
The screw must be tightened firmly to ensure the IP protection rating (2.50 Nm).
Over-tightening can also impair the protection rating.
