2.2. PRECAUTIONS
The CIMS system can be used under most environmental conditions, see Chapter 6. Please
consult the manufacturer in case of:
Excessive magnetic or electrical fields.
Severe accelerations or shocks.
Excessive temperatures.
Warning!
- Never operate the sensors that do not bear the ATEX mark in explosive
atmospheres.
- The standard CIMS Mk IV is not intended for use in hazardous areas.
- The CIMS Mk IV ATEX version may be used in hazardous areas, but
only in the ATEX area as specified on the rating plate.
The CIMS Mk IV system is not designed for exposure to X-rays, nuclear radiation or high vacuum
environments. Use generally accepted industry standards for installation of precision
instrumentation. Pay attention to electrical shielding and grounding. Suppressors may be required
on inductive loads (such as solenoids and contactors).
Stray magnetic fields have an effect on the measurement behavior of the sensor element.
Permissible stray magnetic field at sensor element with opposing field in all directions: without
operation <=100kA/m, number and duration of occurrences unlimited.
If the electronics or cables are installed in an exposed location, use screens or other guarding as
appropriate, to prevent physical damage.
2.3. ATEX CERTIFIED CIMS MK IV
Besides the non-ATEX-approved CIMS Mk IV, there also is an ATEX-approved CIMS Mk IV
