Explosion-proof installations should be made with special care and in accordance with standards and regulations applicable to this type of installations. Changes can be made in the manufacturing before the paper version of user documentation is updated. Up-to-date user manuals are available on the manufacturer's website: www.aplisens.pl.

EN.IX.APC.APR.ALW IDENTIFICATION MARKS. Ex transmitters are delivered with a nameplate which contains data specified in section 6.2, EN.IO.APC.APR.ALW.2.SFT or EN.IO.APC.APR.ALW.2 or EN.IO.APC.APR.ALW.3 and also the following: a) Designation of explosion-proof design type, certificate number. b) Parameter values, e.g. Ui, Ii, Ci, Li for Exi transmitters. c) Year of manufacture.
EN.IX.APC.APR.ALW ELECTROSTATIC HAZARDS The paint, plastic nameplate and diaphragm seals coated with PTFE form a non-conducting layer applied on a conducting base of enclosure or diaphragm seals. Transmitters with this design in a dust-explosion zone should be installed in a place where electrostatic charging is impossible, in particular by contact with electrically charged dust falling off or blown from neighboring devices.
EN.IX.APC.APR.ALW TRANSMITTER PROTECTION LEVEL (EPL) AND HAZARDOUS AREAS Ga/Gb (Da/Db) EPL protection level means that the transmitter can be installed in Zone 1 (21) or 2 (22), and transmitter process connectors can connect to Zone 0 (20). Gb (Db) EPL protection level means that the transmitter and process connector can be installed in Zone 1 (21) or 2 (22).

EN.IX.APC.APR.ALW 11.1. Linear power supply example For example, linear power supply is provided by a typical barrier with the following parameters Uo = 28V; Io = 0.1A; Po = 0.7W; Rw = 280. Figure 3. Principle of power supply from a linear source. 11.2.
EN.IX.APC.APR.ALW An example of power supply in practice: A stabilized power adapter with Uo = 24 V, “ib” protection level and current limited to Io = 25 mA. CONNECTING Exi TRANSMITTERS AND PROBES Transmitter and equipment in the transmitter measurement loop must be connected in compliance with intrinsic safety and explosion proofing standards and conditions for application in risk zones.
