Vibrational resistance EN 60 068-2-64
Electromagnetic
compatibility
Interference Emission to EN 61326, Electrical Equipment Class B
Interference Immunity to EN 61326, Annex A (Industrial) and NAMUR
Recommendation NE 21 (EMC)
A standard installation cable is sufficient if only the analogue signal is used.
Use a screened cable when working with a superimposed communications
signal (HART/Intensor).
Medium
Process temperature
range
PTFE antenna –40°C...+150°C; see page 5
PPS antenna –20°C...+120°C, see page 5; for CIP max. 5 min. at 150 °C
