3.2 Intrinsically safe sensors marked
1/2G Ex ia IIC T5/T6 Ga/Gb
Equipment in areas of category 1G requires:
Where the sensor is mounted through a barrier wall to 1G,
(zone 0), ensure that the sensor mounting is sealed to at
least IP67 acc. to EN 60529.
Connect the sensor housing to the earth point.
Ensure that, at a current rating I
lowing criterion is met:
Temperature class T6/T5 at a maximum ambient tempera-
ture of 50 °C / 70 °C (see section 1.3 Electrical specifica-
tion).
When using the sensor in connection with aggressive / corrosive
media:
Test for material compatibility with the aggressive / corrosive
media.
3.3 Intrinsically safe sensors marked
2G Ex ia IIC T5/T6 Gb
Ensure that, at a current rating I
lowing criterion is met:
temperature class T6/T5 at a maximum ambient tempera-
ture of 50 °C / 70 °C (see section 1.3 Electrical specifica-
tion).
