ATEX – Information on explosion protection
The ATEX sensors from the SN6 series are certified and labeled according to the
enclosed declaration of conformity.
They can be used in areas
W
with gases, mists or vapors in zone 2
W
with flammable dust particles in zone 22
Explanations on identification
Information on the year of manufacture of the sensor can be found in the 5-digit date
code, which is located on one of the sides next to the rating plate. The first two digits
indicate the year and the last two digits indicate the week.
Danger of an ignition source due to impermissible operating conditions,
connections, and parameters.
Operating the sensor under impermissible operating conditions can result in an
explosion.
O Observe the permissible operating conditions, in particular the ambient
temperature and the mechanical protection for the device.
O Note the limited temperature range for ATEX conditions.
O Do not disconnect the electrical connector, plug connectors, and connecting
cable from the sensor if it is under voltage.
O Do not disconnect the electrical connector from the sensor if it is under
voltage.
O Only mount the SN6 sensor onto pneumatic valves or pneumatic cylinder-
valve units (from AVENTICS GmbH), which have been tested in compliance
with the valid ATEX guidelines or qualified as devices without own potential
source of ignition.
O Observe the relevant Ex guidelines for installation, maintenance, and repair,
especially EN 60079-14.
The device will lose its Ex approval if these instructions are not complied with.
