1.1 Scope of the document
These instructions are applicable only to the explosion-protection version of the radar level
transmitter. For all other data, use the Quick Start and Handbook. If you do not have these
documents, please contact the nearest office or download them from the manufacturer's
internet site.
1.2 Device description
The OPTIWAVE 1400 is a 2-wire level transmitter that uses FMCW (Frequency-Modulated
Continuous Wave) radar technology.
The OPTIWAVE 1400 measures level, volume, distance to surface and reflectivity of liquids,
pastes and slurries. It can be installed on tanks, reactors, open channels and open sea.
Measurements are shown in a DTM (device type manager) - a software application for remote
communication.
The level transmitter is approved for use in potentially explosive atmospheres when equipped
with the appropriate options.
1.3 Standards and approvals
You can download the certificate from our internet site.

2.3 Ambient and process connection temperatures
The device has more than one applicable temperature class. Refer to the tables that follow to
find the applicable temperature limits of your installation.
The table that follows is applicable in these conditions:
•Device installation must agree with the instructions given in the handbook.
•Make sure that the device temperature does not increase because of other heat sources
(sunlight, adjacent system components etc.). The device must not be operated above the
maximum permitted ambient temperature.
•Do not put insulation around the signal converter. Make sure that the airflow around the
signal converter is sufficient. It is permitted to have insulation on the pipe or stilling well and
the process connection.
WARNING!
An explosive atmosphere is a mixture of air and flammable gases, vapour, mist or dust in
atmospheric conditions. If you do not use the device in these conditions (T
atm
= -20...+60 ° C and
p
atm
= 0.8...1.1 barg), do an analysis of the risk of ignition.
T
atm
= atmospheric temperature and p
atm
= atmospheric pressure.
WARNING!
The gasket temperature must be in the approved limits. For more data, refer to "Pressure and
temperature ranges" in the Installation chapter of the handbook. The type of gasket and gasket
material must agree with the process.
WARNING!
The reference point for the process temperature is the flange facing (flanges) or the thread stop
(threaded connections) of the device. In the table that follows, this reference point will be
referred to as the "process connection temperature".
WARNING!
Make sure that the maximum process connection temperature and maximum ambient
temperature are not more than the values given in the table.

3.1 Equipotential bonding system
It is not necessary to connect the device to the equipotential bonding system. The device
electronics are isolated with a rating of 500 V
RMS
.
3.2 How to connect the electrical cables
The device is supplied with an electrical cable that is 10 metres long. The cross-sectional area of
each wire is 1 mm².
Obey the instructions that follow:
• Electrical wires must agree with applicable standards (for more data, refer to Precautions on
page 5).
• Use the electrical connection procedure in the handbook.
• Put the electrical wires in position and safely attach them to prevent damage. The electrical
wires must also be a sufficient distance from hot surfaces.
• Make sure that unused electrical wires are safely connected to the ground potential of the
hazardous area. If this is not possible, make sure that each of the unused electrical wires are
safely isolated (other electrical wires, ground etc.) and rated for a test voltage ≥500 V
RMS
.
• If it is necessary, make sure the electrical wire insulation gives good protection from
corrosion.
• Connect only to separate certified, intrinsically safe circuits. Make sure that the electrical
circuit characteristics are not more than the values that follow.
