minal. Be sure to connect the grounding lead of the dielectric

strength tester to the ground terminal.

3. Set the current limit on the dielectric strength tester to 10 mA,

then turn on the power and gradually increase the tester volt-

age from ‘0’ to the specified voltage.

4. When the specified voltage is reached, hold it for one minute.

5. After completing this test, slowly decrease the voltage to avoid

any voltage surges.

.10 Explosion-Proof Rating:

2.10.1 FM Certification:

HAZARDOUS LOCATION ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

• Equipment Rating: Explosion-Proof for use in Class I,

Division 1, Groups A, B, C and D

• Dust- Ignition-Proof for Class II/III, Division 1, Groups E, F

and G

• Nonincensive for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C

and D

• Suitable for use in Class II, Division 2, Groups E, F and G

and Suitable for Class III, Division 1

• Hazardous (classified) location, indoor and outdoor (NEMA

Type 4X/IP67)

2.10.2 DEKRA/ATEX Certification:

• ATEX Certification number: DEKRA 11ATEX0192X

• CE 0344 II 2 G

Model 3100 for Potentially Explosive Atmosphere

• d IIC T6...T4

• Operating Temperature: -20°C ≤ T

amb ≤ +60°C

• T6 for process ≤ 85°C

• T5 for process ≤ 100°C

• T4 for process ≤ 130°C

Electrical Data

• Supply Voltage: 42 VDC Max

• Output Signal: 4 to 20 mA + HART

Electrical Connection

• 2 x

⁄2-14 NPT Female

3100 ATEX Certification Standards

• EN 60079-0: 2006

• EN 60079-1: 2007

Installation

1. All wiring shall comply with local installation requirement.

2. The cable glands and blanking elements shall be of a certified

flameproof type, suitable for the condition of use and correctly

installed. Also those devices should be endured at the 130°C.

3. Housing Ground must be followed to “local electrical codes”.

The most efficient ground procedure is to connect directly to

the earth as least impedance.

4. How to install Housing Ground:

• Internal Ground Connection – Internal ground connection

screw is located in terminal in housing. The screw can be

identified as ground sign.

• External Ground Assembly – This is located in the right side

of housing and identified by ground sign (grounding with a

cable lug).

. When use tubing, stopping boxes must be connected with the

wall of housing directly.

6. Tubing is installed a minimum of 5 threads.

7. Sensor is to be threaded a minimum of 7 threads and prevent-

ed from turning by tightening the housing rotation set screw.

8. Do not disassemble flameproof joints but in an unavoidable

case to disassemble it or need the specification of flameproof

joints, contact the manufacturer before doing.

Operation

Take care not to generate mechanical spark when access to the

instrument and peripheral devices in hazardous location.

Maintenance and Repair

The instrument modification or parts replacement by other than

authorized representative of Taco, Inc. is prohibited and will void

KEMA/ATEX explosion-proof/flame-proof.

2.11 EMC Conformity Standards:

• EMI (Emission): EN55011

• EMS (Immunity): EN50082-2

Taco, Inc. recommends customer use metal conduit wiring or

twisted pair shield cable for signal wiring to conform with EMC

regulation when installing the Taco 3100 transmitters.

3. TRANSMITTER FUNCTIONS:

3.1 Overview:

This section contains information on operating the Model 3100.

Tasks that should be performed on the bench prior to installation

are explained in this section.

3.2 Safety Messages:

Procedures and instructions in this section may require special

precautions to ensure the safety of the personnel performing the

operations. Potential safety issues are indicated by a warning

symbol ( ). Refer to the following safety messages before per-

forming an operation preceded by this symbol.

3.3 Warning:

Do not remove the transmitter covers in explosion environments

when the circuit is powered. Transmitter covers must be fully

engaged to meet explosion-proof requirements.

NOTICE

WARNING: Do not open when an explosive atmos-

phere may be present.

DANGER: Explosion can result in death or serious

injury.
