1. Application The Ex-DT is a multi-purpose testing device for calculating resistances, capacities and inductance for potentially explosive areas of Zones and in accordance with directive 999/9/EC (ATEX 37). Reading are indicated in the form of visual and acou- stic signals.
- Only the batteries listed in the Owner’s Manual wmust be used, as these batteries are type- wapproved. - Only accessories approved by ecom instruments GmbH may be used. - If the cable insulation or test probe become damaged, the device must be taken out of...
- The maximum permitted ambient temperatures wmust be respected. - It must be ensured that the unit is not taken into zone 0. 4. 2 Special safety regulations In order to avoid injury, it is advisable to fit the sup- plied protective caps over the test probes when the device is not in use or being stored.

Before the batteries can be replaced, remove the securing screw using a suitable screw driver. The grip sleeve of the continuity tester can now be pulled backwards and the batteries removed. Ensure correct polarity when inserting new batteries. The contacts of the new batteries and the holders should be cleaned before fitting.

7. 4 Testing / calculating resistances To test or measure resistances, the test sensors of the Ex-DT must be held on the object being tested. The short circuit signal can be conside-red a reference signal. The greater the resistance to be measured, the further the frequency of the measuring signal drops below the reference signal.

7. 6 Testing / calculating inductance Besides the active internal resistance of an induc- tance, the inductance itself is also measured. As inductance increases, the frequency of the measured tone drops below that of the reference tone. Please respect the max. connection value of an inductance in the ex-area! 7.
