Installation of the transmitter in explosion-risk atmospheres must comply with the requirements of relevant instructions and national standards and regulations. Changes made to the manufacturing of products may be introduced before the paper version of the manual is updated. The up-to-date manuals are available on the manufacturer's website: www.aplisens.com.

EN.IX.APM.2 INTRODUCTION This manual is only applicable to the APM-2 series transmitters in Ex (explosion-proof), Exi (intrinsically safe), Exd and Ext (flameproof). The transmitters are identified with model ID on nameplates and also as specified in section 4. Ex information are included in the “Product Certificate”.
Certificate copy (on request); d) EN.IX.APM.2 explosion-proof device manual; e) EN.IO.APM.2 user manual. Items b), c), d), e) are available at www.aplisens.com. IDENTIFICATION MARKS Ex transmitters are delivered with a nameplate which contains data specified EN.IO.APM.2 and also the following: a) Designation of explosion-proof design type, certificate number;...
EN.IX.APM.2 TRANSMITTER DESIGN The modular differential pressure transmitters consist of: central unit HUB two pressure transmitters PC1, PC2. The basic central unit HUB components are: housing made of 316 (1.4401) stainless steel or aluminium, electronic module. Transmitters in aluminium, steel enclosures are allowed for II and III group.
EN.IX.APM.2 TRANSMITTER PROTECTION LEVEL (EPL) AND HAZARDOUS AREAS Ga/Gb EPL protection level means that the transmitter can be installed in Zone 1 or 2, and transmitter process connectors of PC1, PC2 transmitters, can connect to Zone 0. Da EPL protection level means that the transmitter and process connector can be installed in Zone 20 or 21.
EN.IX.APM.2 INTRINSICALLY-SAFE Exi TRANSMITTERS ACCORDING 8.1. TO CERTIFICATE JSHP 22 ATEX 0051X 8.2. Standards used for assessment The transmitters are manufactured in compliance with the following standards: EN IEC 60079-0:2018; (IEC 60079-0:2017 ed. 7.0), EN 60079-11:2012; (IEC 60079-11:2011 ed. 6.0.). 8.3.
EN.IX.APM.2 PERMISSIBLE PARAMETERS OF Exi TRANSMITTERS. Table 2. Permissible input parameters of an Exi transmitter. Maximum Linear power Trapezoidal Orthogonal power surface supply power supply supply temperature Ui=30V Ui=24V, U =48V Ui=24V Ui=24V Temperature Ii=0,1A Ii=0,05A Ii=0,025A Ii=0,05A of the class Pi=0,75W Pi=0,6W...
EN.IX.APM.2 If U ≤ 1/2U have the following relations: − U Resistance Rw: 9.3. Orthogonal power supply example Uo = 24V Io = 25mA Po = 0,6W Uo = 24V Io = 50mA Po = 1,2W Orthogonal power supply means that the voltage of an intrinsically safe power adapter does not change until the current limiter is activated.

No repairs or alterations to the transmitter electrical system are permitted. Only the manufacturer or a facility authorized by the manufacturer may assess damages and repair the device. “Version SA”...
EN.IX.APM.2 FLAMEPROOF Exd TRANSMITTERS ACCORDING TO 10.1. CERTIFICATES JSHP 22 ATEX 0051X 10.2. Standards used for assessment The transmitters are manufactured in compliance with the following standards: EN IEC 60079-0:2018; (IEC 60079-0:2017 ed. 7.0), EN 60079-11:2012; (IEC 60079-11:2011 ed. 6.0.), EN 60079-1:2014;...
EN.IX.APM.2 11.2. Power supply, connection and operation of Exd transmitters Connect the transmitter according to the wiring diagram ( ). The transmitter Figure 6 electrical connections in potentially explosive zones should be made by personnel having necessary knowledge and experience in this respect. The transmitter should be properly grounded by means of a grounding terminal.
