Special Conditions
• The cable and the sensor shall only be used within the ambient temperature range specified for
the temperature class.
• The measuring cable including its connecting head must be protected from electrostatic charg-
ing if it passes through areas of Zone 0 (category 1G).
• The Memosens sensors shall not be operated in electrostatically critical processing conditions.
Intense vapor or dust flows directly impacting on the connection system shall be avoided.
• Metallic process connection parts must be mounted at the installation site so that they are
electrostatically conductive (< 1 MΩ).
