2.4 Safety instructions related to the product and technology
• Lay cables and lines so that they cannot be damaged and no one can trip over
them.
• Do not assemble or operate the product in critical ambient conditions (e.g.
high fluctuations in temperature) or in aggressive ambient air (e.g. solvent
gases, salty air).

with the IP protection requirements (IP65).
2.5 ATEX information on explosion protection
PM1-ATEX pressure switches are certified and labeled according to the enclosed
declaration of conformity. They can be used as follows (see g Declaration of con-
formity):
• In purely gas explosive areas of zone 2 (category 3G)
• In areas with flammable dust particles of zone 22 (category 3D)
Danger of an ignition source due to impermissible operating conditions,
connections, and parameters!
Operating the PM1 under impermissible conditions can lead to overheating on
the surfaces of the PM1 and/or formation of an ignition source.
1. Observe the permissible operating conditions, in particular the ambient
and medium temperatures.
2. Note the limited temperature range for ATEX conditions. Make sure that
the values for the medium and ambient temperatures listed in the technical
data (80°C) are complied with.
3. If temperatures of >+70 °C are reached, ensure that the cable is fixed.
4. Make sure that permitted temperature levels are not exceeded due to fluc-
tuations in pressure.
5. Observe the relevant Ex guidelines for installation, maintenance, and re-
pair, in particular EN 60079-17 as well as the prevailing national regulations
(e.g. 89/391/EEC, article 7, paragraphs 5 and 8, IEC 60364 et seq.). This
work must be performed by an electrical specialist.
6. When using the equipment in areas in zone 22 (dust 3D), protection stan-
dards must also meet the requirements stated in EN 60079-31 (IP protec-
tion class) or other measures must be implemented to prevent deposits of
dust.
The device will lose its Ex approval if these instructions are not complied with!
