FOR PROPER AND SAFE USE Thank you for purchasing the EJ15 intrinsically safe pressure sensor for high-pressure hydrogen application. To use this product properly and safely, read this user's manual carefully. This pressure sensor has passed the type approval test in compliance with IECEx for intrinsically safe construction, which can be used even in Zone 0 areas where Explosive Gases are present at all times.
*4 Only inspect this product in the Hazardous Area by visual inspection. Other maintenance work should be performed in a "Non-hazardous Area" and never in the Hazardous Area. Avoid electrostatic charging. When cleaning the product, use a soft cloth containing water. TY-EJ15-003A Rev.2...

Disassembly or modification of the product on your own may cause failures. * These precautions are selected from our common safety precautions for all products that correspond to the EJ15 pressure sensor. EJ15-specific precautions are further described in detail in the following sections. TY-EJ15-003A Rev.2...

The following table shows the recommended insulated barriers (safety barriers) to be used with the EJ15 pressure sensor. The insulation barrier does not require grounding regulated for the intrinsically safe construction as it is isolated from the Intrinsically Safe Circuit.
Do not insert a wire into the pressure inlet. Otherwise, the diaphragm will be damaged and the correct operation will not be obtained. Never pull or bend the cable. Also, during wiring, be careful not to subject the product to the cable weight. TY-EJ15-003A Rev.2...

Install the EJ15 during piping so that it is grounded from the main body (fitting) as it is required to do so. (For the terminal box type, the grounding from the EJ15 body can also be obtained from the M4 screw portion provided on the outer terminal box).
< Figure 6-2 Recommended mounting direction for terminal box type > Mount the terminal box type with the terminal box facing up as shown in Figure 6-2. When mounting the product sideways, make sure that the terminal port faces downward. TY-EJ15-003A Rev.2...
If the cable capacitance and inductance values that are determined based on the cable size and cable length exceeds the rated value indicated on the barrier minus the Li and Ci values of the EJ15, the certification of the intrinsically safe certification will be invalid.
(or a shielded wire if grounding from the pipe (EJ15 body) is unavailable), outside diameter matching the cable gland size, and the lead wire with a conductor cross-sectional area (core wire) matching the crimp terminal.
