!
DANGER
Always observe the information on explosion protection given in this section when
operating the product in potentially explosive atmospheres.
The standard design of the KSB Leakage Sensor is not approved for use in potentially
explosive atmospheres.
The KSB Leakage Sensor may be used in potentially explosive atmospheres (II2GT5-
T1) provided that an inductive sensor
1)
approved for use in potentially explosive
atmospheres and a switching amplifier
1)
are used.
In this case, it must be ensured that the switching amplifier and the display unit are
located outside of the potentially explosive atmosphere. (ðSection9.2.2,Page30)
This operating manual’s additional sections containing information on use in
potentially explosive atmospheres must be observed. In addition, observe the
operating manuals provided by the manufacturers of components supplied with this
product that are marked as explosion-proof.
The KSB Leakage Sensor does not have its own marking (mechanical part: housing
parts and balance scale without inductive sensor) as it is considered an integral part
of the pump.
KSB Leakage Sensors fitted on pumps of a make other than KSB must not be used in
potentially explosive atmospheres.
