Functional principle
Capacitive proximity switches are designed
for non-contact and wear-free detection of
electrically conductive as well as non-conduc-
tive metal objects.

Operating manual
Intended use
This device fulfills the directive 2014/34/EC and is suited for use in explosion hazardous areas acc. to EN60079-0:2009, EN60079-15:2010 and
EN60079-31:2009.
In order to ensure correct operation to the intended purpose it is required to observe the national regulations and directives.
For use in explosion hazardous areas conform to classification
II 3 G and II 3 D (Group II, Category 3 G, electrical equipment for gaseous atmospheres and category 3 D, electrical equipment for dust atmo-
spheres).
Marking (see device or technical data sheet)
Ex II 3 G and Ex nA IIC T5 Gc acc. to EN 60079-0:2009 and EN 60079-15:2010 and Ex II 3 D Ex t IIIC T91°C Dc acc. to EN 60079-0:2009 and
EN 60079-31:2009
Installation / Commissioning
These devices may only be installed, connected and operated by trained and qualified staff. Qualified staff must have knowledge of protection
classes, directives and regulations concerning electrical equipment designed for use in explosion hazardous areas.
Please verify that the classification and the marking on the device comply with the actual application conditions.
Installation and mounting instructions
Avoid static charging of cables and plastic devices. Please only clean the device with a damp cloth. Do not install the device in a dust flow and
avoid build-up of dust deposits on the device.
If the devices and the cable could be subject to mechanical damage, they must be protected accordingly. They must also be shielded against
strong electro-magnetic fields.
The pin configuration and the electrical specifications can be taken from the device marking or the technical data sheet.
In order to avoid contamination of the device, please remove possible blanking plugs of the cable glands or connectors only shortly before in-
serting the cable or opening the cable socket.
Special conditions for safe operation
Devices with terminal chamber (cable glands) have a weaker strain relief. Sufficient strain relief must be ensured or the cable must be station-
ary-mounted.
Do not disconnect the plug-in connection or cable under voltage.
Please attach a warning label permanently in an appropriate fashion in close proximity to the plug-in connection with the following inscription:
Nicht unter Spannung trennen / Do not separate when energized.
The device must be protected against any kind of mechanical damage and degrading UV-radiation. On selecting the approval-relevant acces-
sories, always ensure that they are installed conform to the application.
Load voltage and operating voltage of this equipment must be supplied from power supplies with safe isolation (IEC 30 364/UL508), to ensure
that the rated voltage of the equipment (24 VDC +20% = 28.8 VDC) is never exceeded by more than 40%.
service / maintenance
Repairs are not possible. The approval expires if the device is repaired or modified by a person other than the manufacturer. The most important
data from the approval are listed.
