  • Page 5: Purpose Of This Manual

    Rheonics SRV, SRV-FPC, SRD and SRD-FPC sensors labelled with the hexagonal ATEX mark: All other versions of Rheonics SRV/SRD sensors should NOT be considered safe to use in areas with potential presence of explosive atmospheres. 2. Description of the sensors and general installation considerations Rheonics SRV sensors are used to measure and control the viscosity of fluids, mainly under process conditions.
  • Page 6 Suitable cabling to safely connect the Rheonics SR sensor to its associated Zener barrier(s) is to be provided by the installer. The minimum specification for the cabling in order to ensure intrinsic safety is given in section 5.1.

  • Page 11: Pressure Rating Of The Sensors

    The SR sensors are provided in two variants that have different pressure ratings. All variants except for the “FPC” or fixed process connection SRV and SRD sensors are rated for a maximum hydrostatic pressure of the process fluid of 700 bar (10,000 PSI) in order to retain IP54 ingress protection as relevant for the sensor’s intrinsic safety.

  • Page 14: Cabling

    5.1. Cabling The SRV/SRD sensor is connected to its associated Zener diode barriers by means of a cable that has an 8 pole M12 connector on the sensor end. The end that connects to the Zener diode barrier must be provided with crimped conductor-end sleeves, which are held by screw clamps on the Zener diode barriers.
