For Your Safety For Your Safety Strictly follow the Instructions for Use Any use of the instrument requires full understanding and strict observation of these instructions. The instrument is only to be used for purposes specified here. Maintenance The transmitter must be inspected and serviced regularly by trained service per- sonnel.
— Transmitter with 4 to 20 mA interface enabling 3- or 4-wire technique. — Transmitter Polytron Ex R (R = Remote) with remote sensing head SE Ex for ap- plications where sensing head and transmitter have to be placed at different loca- tions.
— Transmitter Polytron Ex with Ex-sensor PR M — Transmitter Polytron Ex with Ex-sensor LC M Transmitter Polytron Ex R with remote sensing head SE Ex to be used in applications where the point of detection is not easily accessible for the user: —...
Only an Ex-sensor approved by its own is allowed to be connected to the terminals K11, K12 und K13 of the transmitter Polytron Ex. Installing the Ex-sensor it has to be ensured that a protection class of at least IP 20 acc. to EN 60 529 is maintained.

Installing Electrical Connections Adjustment of Constant Current (ex-factory-setting: 270 mA) Note: The procedure is valid for the transmitter Polytron Ex and Ex R, however the illustra- brown tion only shows the transmitter Polytron Ex. yellow 1 Check position of jumper and correct if required (ex-factory setting).
(see page 8, para. 3). Allow transmitter with Ex-sensor to warm-up in this condition for 10 minutes (sensor warm-up time). Calibrating Transmitter Polytron Ex Use special key to open flap in front of adjusters. 1 Set sliding switch to position »1« = cal.
Supply clean air at a rate of approx. 0.5 L/min. via the calibration adapter. 2 Wait for the display on the transmitter Polytron Ex R to stabilize (max. 3 minutes). Set potentiometer of the transmitter Polytron Ex R such that the display indicates 00.0.

Maintenance Maintenance EN 50073 and national regulations applicable must be observed. Every day Visual inspection to check that it is operational. When using for the first time Check the zero adjustment and sensitivity calibration, see page 15 to page 17. Check that display on the transmitter matches the display on the central unit.
— If the sensing head is not to be replaced by a sensing head with the same sensor current or sensor voltage (see page 25), the procedure to be employed is descri- bed in the section entitled “Connection between transmitter Polytron Ex R and sensing head SE Ex”.
