Nevertheless, electromagnetic interference from elec- trical conductors and radiated emissions must be taken into account, as is usual with a class A instrument acc.
For your safety EN 61326. If VEGAMET 625 is used in a different environment, the electromagnetic compatibility to other instruments must be ensured by suitable measures. 2.6 Safety information for Ex areas Please note the Ex-specific safety information for installation and operation in Ex areas.

(low impedance). If potential equalisation currents are expected, the screen connection on the VEGAMET 625 must be made via a ceramic capacitor (e.g. 1 nF, 1500 V). The low frequency potential equalisation currents are thus suppressed, but the protective effect against high frequency interference signals remains.

Ex ia is not permitted on the passive input. Note: VEGAMET 625 is designed for connection of two HART sensors. Because they are accessed via different addresses in the HART multidrop mode, both sensors are connected to the same sensor input.
