Electric Safety
WARNING
Unsafe connection
Do only use sensor connection cable(s) and hybrid cable(s) delivered by Siemens.
Special conditions for safe operation
Before taking into operation, the user shall make an analysis of compliance between
sealing and enclosure materials versus media and temperature for the intended mounting
position. This is to ensure that normal atmospheric conditions, as per IEC/EN60079-26, are
maintained inside the devices.
WARNING
Impact or friction of device enclosure
The device enclosure contains aluminium and is considered to constitute a potential risk of
ignition by impact or friction.
The user shall take precautions to avoid any ignition hazard caused by impact or friction due to
the content of light metals in the optics housings.
Take care that in ATEX/UKEX/IEC Exzone0 and Exzone1 installations the total lengths of the
hybrid cable and sensor connection cable between barrier box and receiver shall not exceed
250m.
The requirements to IEC/EN60079-14 must be considered.
