3.9 Specifications and temperature limits

Ingress protection per IEC/EN 60529
For information on the ingress protection of the respective instrument, see chapter
9 "Specifications". For the IECEx assessment, IP20 ingress protection was assumed.
Permissible temperature range
EN
For determining the maximum temperature at the instrument, besides the medium
temperature also other influences such as the ambient temperature and, if applicable, the
solar irradiation must be taken into account.
Gas hazardous area
Required temperature class
(ignition temperature)
T6
T5 ... T1
Dust hazardous area
Maximum surface temperature
T135°C
T95°C (only with NS 63)
The installation should be made in such a way that the temperature range of the instrument,
also considering the effects of convection and thermal radiation, neither exceeds nor falls
below the permissible limits.
The permissible temperature ranges of the contact models must not be exceeded at the
instrument either. If necessary, measures for cooling (e.g. syphon, instrumentation valve,
diaphragm seal etc.) have to be taken.
Compliance with the permissible temperature range during operation must be ensured
by the operator. The area shown in the following picture under "T-Ref" can be used for this
purpose.
