Explosion-proof installations should be made with special care and in accordance with standards and regulations applicable to this type of installations. Changes can be made in the manufacturing before the paper version of user documentation is updated. Up-to-date user manuals are available on the manufacturer's website: www.aplisens.com.

EN.IX.APC.APR.ALW IDENTIFICATION MARKS. Ex transmitters are delivered with a nameplate which contains data specified EN.IO.APC.APR.ALW.SFT or EN.IO.APC.APR.ALW and also the following: a) Designation of explosion-proof design type, certificate number. b) Parameter values, e.g. Ui, Ii, Ci, Li for Exi transmitters. c) Year of manufacture.
EN.IX.APC.APR.ALW ELECTROSTATIC HAZARDS The paint, plastic nameplate and diaphragm seals coated with PTFE form a non-conducting layer applied on a conducting base of enclosure or diaphragm seals. Transmitters with this design in a dust-explosion zone should be installed in a place where electrostatic charging is impossible, in particular by contact with electrically charged dust falling off or blown from neighboring devices.
EN.IX.APC.APR.ALW TRANSMITTER PROTECTION LEVEL (EPL) AND HAZARDOUS AREAS Ga/Gb (Da/Db) EPL protection level means that the transmitter can be installed in Zone 1 (21) or 2 (22), and transmitter process connectors can connect to Zone 0 (20). Gb (Db) EPL protection level means that the transmitter and process connector can be installed in Zone 1 (21) or 2 (22).
EN.IX.APC.APR.ALW INTRINSICALLY-SAFE Exi TRANSMITTERS ACCORDING TO CERTIFICATES KDB 19 ATEX 0011X AND IECEX KDB 19.0003X 9.1. Standards used for assessment The transmitters are manufactured in compliance with the following standards: EN 60079-0:2012+A11:2013 (IEC 60079-0:2011 ed. 6.0) EN 60079-11:2012 (IEC 60079-11:2011 ed. 6.0). 9.2.
The following ATEX and IECEx markings apply only to intrinsically safe transmitters marked with the type and model ID: APC-2000ALW ID 0005 0007 ..., APR-2000YALW ID 0009 0007 ..., APR-2000ALW ID 0006 0007 ..., APC-2000ALW/L ID 0010 0007 ..., APR-2000ALW/G ID 0008 0007 ..., APR-2200ALW/L ID 0012 0007 ..., APR-2000ALW APR-2000ALW/L ID 0011 0007 ...,...

A customer can also order a transmitter for explosive dust atmospheres and for mining applications.
EN.IX.APC.APR.ALW 11.1. Linear power supply example For example, linear power supply is provided by a typical barrier with the following parameters Uo = 28V; Io = 0.1A; Po = 0.7W; Rw = 280. Figure 3. Principle of power supply from a linear source. 11.2.
EN.IX.APC.APR.ALW An example of power supply in practice: A stabilized power adapter with Uo = 24 V, “ib” protection level and current limited to Io = 25 mA. CONNECTING Exi TRANSMITTERS AND PROBES Transmitter and equipment in the transmitter measurement loop must be connected in compliance with intrinsic safety and explosion proofing standards and conditions for application in risk zones.
EN.IX.APC.APR.ALW “Version SA” transmitters should be supplied from devices equipped with galvanically isolated power supply. If galvanically isolated power supply is not possible, the transmitter or metal parts connected to it should be properly grounded, for instance with an equipotential wiring or an equipotential bonding between the transmitter and the negative pole of power supply barrier.

EN.IX.APC.APR.ALW 14.2. 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 transmitters should be properly grounded by means of a grounding terminal.
