Specific Conditions Of Use ("X" Identification) - Vega VEGAPULS 6X Series Safety Instruction

Type code
PS6X(*).2*W*********A*H******
VEGAPULS 6X without overvoltage arrester: PS6X(*).2*W*********H********
The voltage resistance against ground is min. 500 V
VEGAPULS 6X with overvoltage arrester: PS6X(*).2*W*********A********
The built-in overvoltage arrester type Bourns 2036-60 has the following characteristic values:
DC Sparkover = 600 V ± 20 % @ 100 V/s
Impulse Sparkover = 850 V @ 100 V/µs
Impulse Sparkover = 1100 V @ 1000 V/µs
Further characteristic data can be found in the data sheet of the Bourns 2036-60.
The voltage resistance against ground is min. 340 V
4 Specific conditions of use ("X" identification)
The following list describes the special operating conditions of VEGAPULS 6X.
In the application as category 1G instrument, the following applies to radar sensors VEGAPULS 6X
in the versions with Aluminium/Titanium:
Installation must be carried out in such a way that the generation of sparks as a result of impact and
friction processes between Aluminium/Titanium and steel is excluded. This excludes stainless steel
without rust particles.
Certain components of the radar sensor VEGAPULS 6X can charge electrostatically. These include:
Plastic housings, non-grounded metal parts, plastic antennas. For details, refer to chapter "Electro-
static charge (ESD)" of these safety instructions.
To avoid the risk of electrostatic charging of metal parts, the VEGAPULS 6X must be connected to
the potential equalization (transition resistance ≤ 1 MΩ).
All parts of VEGAPULS 6X in contact with the medium must only be used in such a medium against
which the materials are sufficiently resistant.
VEGAPULS 6X with rinsing connection: It must be ensured that the IP67 degree of protection is pro-
vided at the connection to the reflux valve when used as category 1/2G equipment. After removing
the reflux valve or the rinsing facility on the refölux valve, the opening must be closed with a suitable
screw plug so that the IP67 degree of protection is maintained.
VEGAPULS 6X with swivelling holder: It must be ensured that the IP67 degree of protection is main-
tained when operating as category 1/2G equipment after aligning the antenna using the swivelling
holder and after screwing on the tension flange.
For applications requiring instruments of category 1/2G, the following VEGAPULS:
•
PS6X(*).2*W*********H*C*****S

PS6X(*).2*W*********H*H*****S
•
PS6X(*).2*W*********A*C*****S
