Operating instructions (safety-related part ATEX)
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 61241-1 and EN 61241-0 are met.
Shock test to EN 60947-5-2 with 0.5 joules.
• Marking
II 3D Ex tD A22 IP65 T90°C X Ta: -20...60°C ID000A / ID500A
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 relevant national regulations and provisions.
• The relevant installation regulations must be adhered to.
• Avoid electrostatic charging on housings and cables.
• To avoid electrostatic charging steps must be taken to ensure the equalisation of potential
of metal parts (plug housing, fixing elements, etc.).
• Protect the units and the cables efficiently against damage.
• To avoid soiling, do not remove the dust caps from the cable glands until introducing the
cables.
• For units with cable gland: To ensure the required minimum protection, the clamping screw
of the cable gland must be firmly tightened (see technical data sheet for tightening torque).
• Maintenance intervals are application-specific and therefore need to be defined by the
operator depending on the operating conditions.
• During maintenance, especially those parts on which the type of protection depends need
to be examined (e.g. integrity of the components of the cable gland, of the seals).

Special conditions for safe operation
• For units with terminal chamber (cable gland) and cable units a sufficient strain relief must
be ensured or the cable must be firmly laid.
• For test purposes, the housing and housing parts made of plastic were exposed to
mechanical stress of 0.5 joules (in accordance with EN 60947-5-2). The user must take
appropriate measures (e.g. installation conditions, use of a protective device, etc.) to
ensure that the units are not exposed to major mechanical stress/shocks.
• Avoid direct radiation with high UV components (sunlight). Mount the unit in a protected
place.
• Units of the type ID must be mounted on a flat surface and the entire bottom must lie
flat on the surface. When mounted with the ifm mounting sets E11121 or E11122, these
requirements are met.
Maintenance / Repair
The unit must not be modified nor can it be repaired. In case of a fault please contact the
manufacturer.
Data sheets and EC declaration of conformity are available from the manufacturer on
request.
