Maximum surface temperature
The surface temperature of the instruments mainly depends on the medium
temperature of the application. For determining the maximum surface tempera-
ture, besides the medium temperature also other inuences such as the ambient
temperature and, if applicable, the solar irradiation must be taken into account.

Hazardous dust atmosphere
For dusts, the procedure specied in ISO/IEC 80079-20-2 for determining the
ignition temperature has to be applied. The ignition temperature is determined
separately for dust clouds and dust layers, respectively. For dust layers, the
ignition temperature depends on the dust layer thickness per IEC/EN 60079-14.

The permissible maximum medium temperature must not exceed the lowest
determined value, even in case of a malfunction.
Explosive atmosphere consisting of hybrid mixtures
The instruments must not be used in areas in which an atmosphere consisting of
explosive hybrid mixtures (dusts mixed with gases) can occur.
