1 Safety Instructions
Statox 506 is a transmitter designed as an intrinsically safe device, group 2 category II. It measures the
concentration of toxic gases and oxygen in ambient air. It is safe to be operated in classified areas zone 1
and zone 2.
The gas specific parameters are stored in an F–Ram on board of the sensor. They will be downloaded
into the sensor head electronics automatically as soon as the sensor is plugged in.
Safety advice:
 Read and observe this manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place.
 This transmitter must be installed and connected observing the regulations for operation in hazardous
areas. It must be performed by authorized and trained personnel only. Respect the regulations for the
operation of safety instrumented systems including standard DIN EN 60079-14.
 If operated in a hazardous area, the sensor head power supply must run through an intrinsically safe
repeater or the loop itself must be intrinsically safe, see chapters 3.1 and 3.2.
Potential equalization must exist along the intrinsically safe circuit.
 Statox 506 must not be operated in an ambience outside the technical specifications, see chapter 8.
 Statox 506 must be operated and serviced by authorized and trained personnel only. Use only original
Compur parts as spares and consumables.
 Do not operate uncomplete or damaged sensor heads.
All of the above warnings must be observed. Incorrect installation or connection will void the
explosion proof rating and thus be dangerous to human life and assets.
