ATEX-Relevant Standards

The following European standards are relevant for the product:

CENELEC - European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization

 

EN 60079–0                Part 0:                Equipment – General requirements Construction, testing, marking

 

EN 60079–7                Part 7:                Equipment protection by increased safety “e”

 

EN 60079–11                Part 11:                Equipment protection by intrinsic safety “i”

 

EN 60079–14                Part 14:                Electrical installations design, selection and erection

 

EN 60079–18                Part 18:                Equipment protection by encapsulation “m”

 

EN 60079–26                Part 26:                Equipment with equipment protection level (EPL) Ga Zone 0 requirements (EPL - Equipment protection level)

Nominal Data

Power supply:

There are two separate connections available for the humidity and temperature sensors. The device connections comprise power supply and sensor signal. The supply voltages for the two sensors may be different because they are isolated by two internal diodes. The device can also be operated with only one loop.

 

Device input voltage:                USupply                = 20 V … 28 VDC [24 V +/- 15%]

 

Maximum current:                ISupply max.                = 50 mA [Sum of both input currents]

 

Load impedance:                          RM                        = 0…500 Ω [Measurement voltages 0 V…10 V]

 

Ambient temperature range:

•Measurement probe:                TA = [- 40 °C ... + 85 °C]

•Transmitter with LCD:                TA = [- 10 °C … + 60 °C]

•Transmitter without LCD:        TA = [- 40 °C … + 60 °C]

 

The normal ATEX standards only apply for normal temperatures [-20 °C … +40 °C] and for a pressure range of [0.8 bar…1.1 bar]. The extended temperature range must be marked on the product identification label.

 

Input protection circuit:

The device is protected against polarity reversal by two diodes. In addition to this, two Z-Transil

diodes protect against static and transient overvoltages. These measures are not required by ATEX.

They were, however, implemented as easily realizable additional protective measures.
