Remarks for safe use in hazardous areas
Functions and features
• Use in hazardous areas according to the classification
II 3D
(group II, category 3D, apparatus for dust atmosphere).
The requirements of the standards EN 60079-0 and EN 60079-31 are met.
• Marking (see unit or technical data sheet)
II 3D Ex tc IIIC T80°C Dc X IP67
• Permissible operating temperature of the application (proper usage):
Ta: -20°C...+60°C
Installation / Set-up
The units must only be installed, connected and set up by qualified staff. The qualified staff
must have knowledge of protection classes, regulations and provisions for apparatus in
hazardous areas.
Check whether the classification (see "Marking" above and marking on the unit) is suitable
for the application.
Installation remarks / Installation
• Adhere to the respective national regulations and provisions as well as the relevant
installation regulations.
• Avoid electrostatic charging on plastic units and cables.
• To avoid electrostatic charging clean the unit with a damp cloth only. Rubbing with non-
conductive materials must be strictly avoided.
• To avoid electrostatic charging steps must be taken to ensure the equalisation of potential
of metal parts (plug housing, fixing elements, protective housing, etc.).
• Do not mount the unit in the dust flow.
• Avoid dust deposits on the units.
• Protect the units and the cables efficiently against damage.
• For the connections and the electrical characteristics please see the unit marking or the
technical data sheet.
• Avoid direct radiation with high UV components (sunlight). Mount the unit in a protected
place.
• M12 plugs may only be opened or closed in a sufficiently clean environment.
• The secure fit of the impact protection housing for the sensor must be checked depending
on the installation conditions (temperature, vibration,...) and at intervals to be defined by
the operator.

Special conditions for safe operation
• The housing and housing parts made of plastic were tested with the supplied impact pro-
tection housing in accordance with EN 60079-0 for group II and for a low mechanical risk
with an impact energy of 4 joules.
• Use sockets which are suited for hazardous areas, e.g. ifm sockets EVC**A with Ex certifi-
cate (certificate number BVS 08 ATEX E 109 U).
• Protect the sockets by tightening the hexagon coupling nut sufficiently according to the
requirements of the Ex protection related operating instructions of the socket.
• Do not disconnect the connector while live.
• Apply a durable warning in suitable form close to the connector reading: „Do not separate
when energized“ or use the enclosed label if you can ensure a durable marking.
• The units must only be operated with the supplied impact protection housing for the
sensor.

►Screw the impact protection housing onto the sensor manually until the end stop.
►Screw the lock nut against the impact protection housing.
►Turn the nut against the impact protection housing until the latter also starts to turn. Use
an appropriate spanner.
Maintenance / Repair
The unit must not be modified nor can it be repaired. In case of a fault please contact the
manufacturer.
If required, the technical data sheets and EC declarations of conformity can be obtained
from the manufacturer. Indicate the article number.
