9.11 Intrinsically safe refractometers PR-23-...-IA and PR-23-...-IF
Hazardous locations are places where a possibility of fire or explosion exists because
of flammable gases, vapors or fine dust.
Zone 0: An area in which an explosive gas-air mixture is continuously present
or present for long periods of time.
Zone 1: An area in which an explosive gas-air mixture is likely to occur in nor-
mal operation.
Intrinsically Safe Process Refractometer PR-23-...-IA/-IF can be used in hazardous lo-
cations in Zone 0 and Zone 1 areas.
The PR-23-...-IA refractometers have been certified by Eurofins Expert Services Oy un-
der the European ATEX directive 2014/34/EU for ATEX Ex II 1G and Ex I M1 / Ex ia

for trained service personnel of Vaisala and its representatives. Servicing must be
done according to separate instructions defined by Vaisala and must be reported to
Vaisala.

9.11.1 Equipment

Intrinsically Safe Process Refractometer consists of: a modified refractometer sen-
sor PR-23-...-IA/-IF, an Indicating transmitter STR with single sensor connectivity, and
IS Isolator and cabling between the refractometer sensor and the transmitter (Fig-
ure 9.34).
The equipment is intrinsically safe only if all mounting instructions in Section 9.11.2
are followed. If the instrument has been in any way damaged during transportation,
return it to your nearest Vaisala service point for checkup before installation. Never
install a damaged instrument into the process line.
