Important. This ATEX Category depends on the 
application (see below) and also on the intrinsic safety 
level of the transmitter supply (associated apparatus) 
which can sometimes suitably be [ib] instead of [ia]. As it 
is well known, the level of an intrinsic safety system is 
determined by the lowest level of the various apparatus 
used, i.e., in the case of [ib] supply, the system takes over 
this level of protection.

— 
Note: the transmitter can be connected to either [ib] or [ia] 
supply (associated apparatus)certified [Ex ia]
Note for “Primary transducer”: see the certification for 
exceptions
Application with Gas Application with Dust
Note: the protection is mainly assured by the “IP” degree 
associated to the low power from supply. This can either be 
[ia] or [ib]
