Specific conditions of use (denoted by X after the certificate number)
Specific conditions of use
• Parts of the enclosure may be non-conducting and may generate an ignition-capable level of
electrostatic charge under certain extreme conditions. The user should ensure that the
equipment is not installed in a location where it may be subjected to external conditions
(such as high-pressure steam), which might cause a build-up of electrostatic charge on non-
conducting surfaces.
• The enclosure shall be protected from mechanical impact or friction.
• For dust application, apply 3 to 4 turns of PTFE tape to seal conduit entries.
Dust ignition proof / Dust protection by Enclosure Ex 't'
• The equipment shall only be powered by an SELV source; not exceeding 30 Vdc.
• Disconnect power source before opening in the presence of explosive concentration of
ignitable gas.
• The supply to the SITRANS LR510, LR530, LR550, LR580 equipment shall be rated for a
prospective short-circuit current of not more than 1.5 kA and shall be protected by a suitably
rated fuse.
