General The apparatus has to be operated according to the appropriate data in the data
sheet and in this instruction manual. The data stated in the data sheet are
restricted by this operating instruction!
The special conditions must be observed!
Directive 94/9EG is generally applicable only to the use of electrical apparatus
operating at atmospheric conditions.
If the equipment is not used under atmospheric conditions, a reduction of the
permissible minimum ignition energies may have to be taken into consideration.
Installation, Comissioning Laws and/or regulations and standards governing the use or intended usage
goal must be observed. The sensor must only be operated with an energy-lim-
ited circuit, which satisfies the requirements of IEC 60079-15. The explosion
group complies with the connected, supplying, power limiting circuit.
Maintenance No changes can be made to apparatus, which are operated in hazardous areas.
Repairs to these apparatus are not possible.

Protection from mechanical danger The sensor must not be mechanically damaged.
When used in the temperature range below -20°C the sensor should be pro-
tected from knocks by the provision of an additional housing.
Electrostatic charging Electrostatic charges must be avoided on the mechanical housing components.
Dangerous electrostatic charges on the mechanical housing components can
be avoided by incorporating these in the equipotential bonding.
Connection parts The connection parts are to be installed, such that a minimum protection class
of IP20 is achieved, in accordance with IEC 60529.
