For primary explosion protection, that is, for measures to be taken to
prevent or hinder the development of a dangerous explosive
atmosphere, please observe the guideline 1999/92/EC (ATEX 137) or
the corresponding national guidelines.
For secondary explosion protection, that is, for measures to hinder the
ignition of a surrounding explosive atmosphere by electrical devices,
Pepperl+Fuchs will gladly make the "Explosion Protection Manual"
available to you for a nominal fee.
Note in particular DIN EN 60079-10, DIN EN 60079-14, DIN EN 50014
and DIN EN 50020, or the corresponding national guidelines.
Pepperl+Fuchs also offers a seminar on the topic of explosion
protection.
The devices of the K-system from Pepperl+Fuchs and thus also the
HART Loop Converter KFD2-HLC-(Ex)1.D(.**) can be mounted on a 35 mm
standard rail corresponding to DIN EN 50022. The devices must be snapped
onto the rail vertically, and never slanted or tipped to the side.
Additional possibilities for mounting, e. g. using the Power Rail, can be found
in the K-System operating manual on our webpage www.pepperl-fuchs.com
