- Damage and corrosion of temperature probes – protection tubes
- Corrosion and correct positioning of the contacts and terminals of cable connections
- Seals of terminal heads and cable ducts
- Interruptions due to "knocking" on the temperature probe/measuring insert
Since the maximum operating temperature influences the drift behavior, the temperature probe should be recalibrated or re-
placed at certain intervals to ensure reliable and precise temperature measurement.
The testing intervals are listed in the table below:
6.17 Intrinsic safety according to DIN EN 60079-11

The testing intervals specified here are recommendations that must be adapted to the special conditions at the op-
erating location and,
if necessary, the user should perform the tests more regularly.
