ABB 2600T Series Operating Instructions Manual page 54

According to ATEX Directive (European Directive 94/9/EC of 23
March 1994) and relative Standards which can assure
compliance with Essential Safety Requirements, i.e., EN
60079-0 (General requirements) EN 60079-15 (Specification for
electrical apparatus with type of protection "n") EN 61241-0
(General requirements), the pressure transmitters of the 2600T
SERIES have been certified for the following group, categories,
media of dangerous atmosphere, temperature classes, types of
protection. Examples of application are also shown below by
simple sketches.

Important. When installed this transmitter must be supplied by a
voltage limiting device which will prevent the rated voltage of 42 V
d.c. being exceeded.
The meaning of ATEX code is as follows:
— II : Group for surface areas (not mines)
— 3 : Category
Application for pressure transmitter Ex nL categories 3G and 3D
Application with Gas
Note: the transmitter must be connected to a supply with 42V
d.c. max output voltage as above indicated. The Ii of the
transmitter is less than 25 mA.
Important - Note for pressure transmitter with combined approval.
permanent mark his chosen Protection Concept on the safety label. The transmitter can only be used with according to
this Protection Concept for the whole life. If two or more types of protection box (on safety label) are permanent marked,
the pressure transmitter must be removed from hazardous classified locations. The selected Type of Protection is allowed
to be changed only by manufacturer after a new satisfactory assessment.

The other marking refers to the protection type used according
to the standards:
— Ex nL: Type of protection "n" with "energy limitation"
— IIC: Gas group
— T4: Temperature class of the transmitter
(corresponding to 135°C max) with a Ta from -50°C to +85°C
— T5: Temperature class of the transmitter
(corresponding to 100°C max) with a Ta from -50°C to +40°C
— T6: Temperature class of the transmitter
(corresponding to 85°C max) with a Ta from -50°C to +40°C
About the applications, this transmitter can be used in "Zone 2"
(Gas) and "Zone 22" (Dust) classified areas (unlikely/infrequent
hazard) as it is shown on the following sketches.
Application with Dust
Note: the protection is mainly assured by the "IP" degree
associated to the low power from supply.
Before installation of the Transmitter, the customer should
