The Ex approval is only valid in connection with the respective indication on the device nameplate. The Ex-version of Separator Module iXT0 is matched to the NIVUS sensors regarding the assessment of intrinsically safe electrical systems according to EN 60079-25.
− environmental protection Connections As an operator make sure prior to activating the iXT0 that during installation and initial start-up, if executed by the operator himself, the local regulations (such as regulations for electrical connection) are observed. 5.1.1 Keep the manual Keep this manual in a safe place and make sure it is available for the users of this product at any time.
All operations on the device which go beyond installation or connection measures in principle shall be carried out by NIVUS staff or personnel authorised by NIVUS due to reasons of safety and guarantee. Operate the iXT0 only in technically perfect working order.
Check the device nameplate to ensure that the device is deliv- ered according to your order. Check if the correct supply voltage is printed on the nameplate. Fig. 7-2 Nameplate of Ex-Separator Module iXT0 page 16 Ex-Separator Module iXT0 - rev. 02 / 28.08.2017...

Construction and functions 11 Functional descriptions The iXT0 is an intelligent electronic separation interface which is used between non Ex-area and Ex-zone 1. The iXT0 is conceived for correct Ex-technical separation of the following sensors: NIVUS velocity sensors: − POA-V2 −...
Avoid unnecessary movements to reduce the risk of building up static elec- tricity. 12.2 Installation place The iXT0 with DIN rail fastening is conceived for installation in switching cabinets. − Observe adequate ventilation at the installation place e. g. by using a fan or a heat exchanger.
Fasten the rail horizontally in the intended enclosure/switching cabinet by us- ing at least two screws. − Hook the iXT0 into the DIN rail from above and then is snapped into place di- agonally downwards by exerting slight pressure from the front. 13 Electrical installation...

Installation and connection Between iXT0 and transmitter When installing the iXT0 directly in a switching cabinet or a field enclosure with a connection to NivuFlow xxx using individual wires (in a cable duct or similar) note the following: − Observe to lay power lines and frequency-conducting signal lines separated from each other.
Page 26
Higher numbers of individual wires need to be combined electrically in a short dis- tance before entering iXT0 and NivuFlow xxx and shall be laid as individual wire with a maximum cross section of 2.5 mm² (clamp or solder connection).
