II 3 G Ex nA IIC T4 ... T6 Gc IP67
and
II 3 D Ex tc IIIC T85°C Dc IP67
FM Approvals Certificate: FM09ATEX0025X,
Electrical Data: U = 30 V DC, I = 25 mA,
C = 17 nF, L = 0.22 mH
The meaning of the ATEX code is as follows:
• II: Equipment Group for hazardous surface areas
(not mines)
• 3: Category of equipment protection.
• G: Gas (dangerous media)
• D: Dust (dangerous media)
• Ex nA: Non Sparking
• IIC: Explosion group gases
• T4: Temperature class of the transmitter (which
corresponds to 135 °C Max) with Ta= Æ50 to 85 °C
• T5: Temperature class of the transmitter (which
corresponds to 100 °C Max) with Ta= Æ50 to 40 °C
• T6: Temperature class of the transmitter (which
corresponds to 85 °C Max) with Ta= Æ50 to 40 °C
• Ex tc: Dust protected Flame-proof enclosure
• IIIC : Explosion Group ‘dust’
• T85 °C: Maximum surface temperature of the transmitter
housing at an ambient temperature Ta from Æ50 to 75 °C
for dust (not for gas) with a dust layer up to 50 mm thick
• IP 67: For protection type, the first characteristic numeral
indicates the protection of the integrated electronics
against ingress of solid foreign objects including dusts.
The assigned ಫ6ಬ means a dust-tight enclosure (no ingress
of dust). The second characteristic numeral indicates the
protection of the integrated electronics against ingress
of water.
The assigned ಫ7ಬmeans a water-protected enclosure
against a temporary immersion in water under
standardized conditions of pressure and time.

WARNING
• When installed, power must be supplied to the transmitter
by a voltage limiting device which will prevent the rated
voltage of 30 V DC being exceeded.
• The temperature sensor circuit (Pt100) must be connected
in accordance with the requirements of the FM certificate.
