Electrical connections

Grounding

If, for functional reasons, the intrinsically safe circuit needs to be
grounded by means of a connection to the potential
equalization, it may only be grounded at one point.

Intrinsic safety installation check

If transmitters are operated in an intrinsically safe circuit, proof
that the interconnection is intrinsically safe must be provided in
accordance with IEC/EN 60079-14 as well as IEC/EN 60079-25.
The supply isolators / DCS inputs must feature intrinsically safe
input protection circuits in order to eliminate hazards (spark
formation).
In order to provide proof of intrinsic safety, the electrical limit
value must be used as the basis for the EC-type examination
certificates for the equipment (devices); this includes the
capacitance and inductance values of the cables.
Proof of intrinsic safety is said to have been provided if the
following conditions are fulfilled when a comparison is carried
out in relation to the limit values of the equipment:

Installation in a potentially explosive atmosphere

Transmitters can be installed in all kinds of industrial sectors.
Potentially explosive systems are divided into zones,
meaning that a wide range of different instruments are also
required. For this, pay attention to the country-specific
guidelines and certificates!
Note
Ex relevant specifications must be taken from the EC-type
examination certificates and other relevant certificates that
apply in each case.

The input for the supply isolator must be designed with 'Ex ia'
type of protection.
When using the transmitter in Zone 0, make sure that
impermissible electrostatic charging of the transmitter is
avoided (observe the warnings on the device).
As the user, it is your responsibility to ensure that the sensor
instrumentation meets the requirements of applicable explosion
protection standards.

WARNING
Risk of explosion!
When using the device in areas that require the device safety
level EPL 'Ga' (Zone 0), the TTF200 types must be installed
with aluminum housings, protected against strong
mechanical impacts or friction.
Note
When operating the transmitter in Zone 0 (EPL 'Ga'), the
compatibility of the device materials with the surrounding
atmosphere must be ensured.
