If you use the device outside atmospheric conditions, consider that the permissible safety parameters should be reduced.

The device can be used in hazardous areas containing gas, vapor, and mist.

The device can be used in hazardous areas containing combustible dust.

6. Improper Use

Protection of the personnel and the plant is not ensured if the device is not used according to its intended use.

7. Mounting and Installation

Observe the installation instructions according to IEC/EN 60079-14. Safety- relevant markings are found on the nameplate of the device or the nameplate supplied.

Attach the nameplate supplied in the immediate vicinity of the device.
Attach the nameplate so that it is legible and indelible. Take the ambient conditions into account.

Do not mount a damaged or polluted device.

Mount the device so that it complies with the specified degree of protection according to IEC/EN 60529.

If you use the device in environments subject to adverse conditions, you must protect the device accordingly.

Do not remove the warning markings.

7.1. Requirements for Equipment Protection Level Gc (ec)

The device is designed for use in an environment with pollution degree 3 according to IEC/EN 60664-1.

When selecting materials for accessories consider that the temperature of the housing can rise up to 70 °C.

Provide a transient protection. Ensure that the peak value of the transient protection does not exceed 140 % of 85 V.

7.2. Requirements for Equipment Protection Level Dc

The device is designed for use in an environment with pollution degree 3 according to IEC/EN 60664-1.

When selecting materials for accessories consider that the temperature of the housing can rise up to 70 °C.

The maximum surface temperature of the device was determined without a dust layer on the apparatus.

7.3. Specific Conditions of Use

Mount the device so that it complies with the specified degree of protection according to IEC/EN 60529

7.3.1. Requirements in Relation to Electrostatics

Information on electrostatic hazards can be found in the technical specification IEC/TS 60079-32-1.

Do not mount the supplied nameplate in areas that can be electrostatically charged.

You can reduce the electrostatic hazards by minimizing the generation of static electricity. For example, you have the following options to minimize the generation of static electricity:

• Control the environmental humidity.
• Protect the device from direct airflow.
• Ensure a continuous drain off of the electrostatic charges.

Avoid inadmissibly high electrostatic charge of the metal housing components on the device.
Include the metal housing components in the equipotential bonding.
