Additional requirements for use in dust explosion protected areas
Install the transmitter in an enclosure suitable for the respective type of dust and corresponding Zone in accordance with the
inspection certificate valid in your country. The surface temperature of the enclosure is euqal to T
with a maximum thickness of 5 mm.
4.5 Safety notes for connecting in hazardous TF
WARNING
Risk of explosion due to electrostatic charge
To prevent an electrostatic charge in a hazardous area, close the key cover during operation and tighten the screws
securely.
Type of protection "Flameproof enclosure" and "Dust protection by enclosure"
Only open devices with type of protection "Flameproof enclosure" in hazardous areas when the power to the device is
turned off, otherwise there is a risk of explosion.
For SITRANS TF connection in hazardous areas
The SITRANS TF comes with a built-in transmitter: SITRANS TH200, TH300, or TH400. See Safety notes for connecting in
hazardous TH200/300 (Page 14).
4.6 Special safety consideration for connecting SITRANS TH300/TH400
● Use shielded cables to ensure the full specification according to HART, PROFIBUS PA, or FOUNDATION Fieldbus

Test terminals for output signal

The "Test +" and "Test -" test terminals are used for checking the 4 to 20 mA current with an amperemeter. The voltage drop
across the amperemeter must not exceed 0.4 V for a 23 mA output current.
