2.6 Protection types
2.6.1 Protection types for the compact version
The vortex flowmeter is designed in the "non-sparking" protection type in accordance with
EN 60079-15. Explosion protection is ensured in that there are no contacts or hot surfaces with a
sparking effect during operation.
2.6.2 Protection types for the remote version
The vortex signal converter is designed in the "non-sparking" protection type in accordance with
EN 60079-15. The vortex flow sensor and its connecting line are designed as "intrinsically safe
protection level ic". Explosion protection for the signal converter is ensured in that there are no
contacts or hot surfaces with a sparking effect during operation. With the flow sensor, the
limiting of current and voltage also ensures that no energy capable of ignition can occur.
