3.1

Basic safety notes

3.1.1

Wall mount enclosure specific conditions of use

1. WARNING – Risk of electrostatic sparking. Clean only with a damp cloth.
2. 7ME372, 7ME382 and 7ME383 wall mount enclosure transmitter threaded entries require a
seal or gasket.
3. Temperature code T6 applies for ambient temperatures up to 45 °C; Temperature code T5
applies for ambient temperatures between 45 °C and 60 °C. The dust temperature class T85°C
applies for ambient temperatures to 60 °C.
4. The equipment shall only be used in an area of at least pollution degree 2, as defined by IEC
60664-1.
5. Using the box provided on the nameplate, the user shall permanently mark the type of
protection chosen for the specific installation. Once the type of protection has been marked,
it shall not be changed.
Note
Pollution degree 2
Pollution degree 2 can be achieved by controlling the micro environment within the equipment
by maintaining IP65.
3.1.2

Industrial enclosure specific conditions of use

1. The SITRANS FST030 shall only be electrically powered / connected to an overvoltage
category II or better circuit as defined in IEC 60664-1 and required by Annex F of IEC
60079-11.
2. The quoted entity parameters of C
inductance in cables. Where there is circuit capacitance or inductance in the connected
equipment (represented by Ci and Li) that both total more than 1% of quoted Co and Lo then
the Co and Lo of the connected equipment shall not exceed 50% of the quoted C
values.
3. The maximum dust layer shall be no greater than 5 mm (T5 85°C).
4. The SITRANS FST030 industrial enclosure shall be bonded to the sensor (e.g. the SITRANS
FSS200) that is powered via the "SSL interface", M12 connector (Pins 1 to 4).
