6.2 Guidelines and standards
ARIS actuators of the type Tensor
2
+ for the intended use in potentially explosive atmospheres of the zone 2 and 22 are electronic
devices of the device group II and device category 3 according to appendix II of the directive 2014/34/EU. The fundamental
health- and safety requirements are met through type examination certicate IBExU16ATEXB001 X in accordance with:
EN 60079-0:2012 + A11:2013, EN 60079-7:2015, and EN 60079-31:2014.
6.3 Technical specications
6.3.1 Functions and application area (intended use)
ARIS actuators of type Tensor
2
+ for the intended use in potentially explosive atmospheres are exclusively designed for industrial
use. They are utilized for operating regulating and shut-off appliances (valves, ball valves, taps, slide valves, dosing pumps, etc.).
The actuators Tensor
2
+ meet the requirements of the ignition protection type "Protection by enclosures" for a explosion proof device
of the group II and the category 3 D and ignition protection type "Increased safety" for group II and category 3G.
ARIS actuators for the EX-zones 2 and 22 may not be used
• in explosion-endangered areas of the zones 1, 21;
• at temperatures below -15 °C or above 50 ° C;
• underground environments;
• near open res;
• under water.
Further appropriation of extent and limits of the inteded use arise from additional labelling acc. to ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU
(see 6.1) listed on the actuator´s nameplate.
Special conditions:
Gc & Dc: Only ATEX certied cable entries with O-ring seals are allowed!
Dc: Make sure that no potential highly charged processes are expected near the appliance,
when operating the actuator in explosive dust areas!
