If used in hazardous areas, mobile end devices with an Ex approval must be used.
Pressure instruments with a flange and threaded boss that do not have a pressurized housing do not
fall within the scope of the Pressure Equipment Directive, irrespective of the maximum allowable
pressure.
Reasons:
According to Article 2, point 5 of EU Directive 2014/68/EU, pressure accessories are defined as
"devices with an operational function and having pressure-bearing housings".
If a pressure instrument does not have a pressure-bearing housing (no identifiable pressure chamber
of its own), there is no pressure accessory present within the meaning of the Directive.
The devices comply with the LPR (Level Probing Radar) radio standard EN 302729. The devices are
approved for unrestricted use inside and outside closed containers in countries of the EU and the
EFTA. As a prerequisite, the countries must have already implemented this standard.
The standard is already implemented in the following countries:
Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Denmark, Estonia, France, Greece, UK, Ireland, Iceland, Italy,
Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Latvia, Malta, The Netherlands, Norway, Austria, Poland, Portugal,
Romania, Sweden, Switzerland, Slovakia, Spain, Czech Republic and Cyprus.
Implementation is still underway in all of the countries not listed.
Please note the following for operation of the devices outside of closed vessels:
1. Installation must be carried out by properly trained, expert staff.
2. The device antenna must be installed in a fixed location pointing vertically downwards.
3. The installation site must be located at a distance of 4 km (2.49 mi) from the astronomy
stations listed below or otherwise approval must be provided by the relevant authority. If a
device is installed within a radius of 4 to 40 km (2.49 to 24.86 mi) around one of the listed
stations, it must not be installed at a height of more than 15 m (49 ft) above the ground.
