2.2 Information on explosion protection
The type 0201 force measuring pin is optionally available in an intrinsically safe design for
use in potentially explosive atmospheres. This is done using a 2-wire amplifier
ExDANGmicro2W_***. The following specifications apply:
Certificate number: BVS 16 ATEX E 041 IECEx BVS 16.0031
Ignition protection type: Ex II 2G Ex ib IIC T4 Gb Ex ib IIC T4 Gb
Voltage 30 V DC 30 V DC
Current 100 mA 100 mA
Power 750 mW 750 mW
Effective internal capacitance 24 nF + 0.3 nF/m 24 nF + 0.3 nF/m
Effective internal inductance 3 µH + 1 µH/m 3 µH + 1 µH/m
Ambient temperature -40 to +80°C -40 to +80°C
Use of intrinsically safe force measuring pins in zone 0 is not allowed.
The Ex d type 0203 force measuring pin is designed to be pressure-resistant and is therefore
suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
