3.2 Approvals

When using ultrasonic sensors in Ex-areas or
navigation, the instruments must be suitable
and approved for the explosion zones and
application areas. The suitability is checked
by approval authorities and certified by ap-
proval documents.
VEGASON 50 ultrasonic sensors are ap-
proved for Ex-zone 1. Please note the at-
tached approval documents when using a
sensor in Ex-area.

Ex-area zone 1
Series 50 senors require special safety barri-
ers and separators for operation in Ex-area
zone 1. The safety barriers and separators
provide intrinsically safe (ia) circuits. The
followes shows a choice of instruments with
which the series 50 sensors work reliably.
The signal line resistance must not exceed
15 W per wire.
