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!
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.
Connection parts  The connection parts are to be installed, such that a minimum protection class 
of IP20 is achieved, in accordance with IEC 60529.
