2.4 Flammable products
Atmospheric conditions, flammable fluids
An explosive atmosphere is defined as a mixture of air and flammable gases, vapours, mists or
dusts under atmospheric conditions with the values
= -20...+60°C / -4...+140°F and P
T
atm
Outside of this range, no key data are available as to ignition behaviour for most mixtures. If the
application conditions do not fall within the above range, the risk of ignition in each individual
situation must be analysed on the basis of the known parameters (e.g. pressure, temperature,
process product, meter material).
2.5 Device category
The liquid level indicators are designed for Category 1/2 as per RL 94/9 EC and according to EN
60079-14 for use in Zone 0. The converters are designed for Category 2 as per RL 94/9 EC for use
in Zone 1.

2.7 Ambient temperature / temperature classes
Due to the influence of the product temperature, level meter with built-in electrical equipment
(electric variants) are not assigned to any fixed temperature class. The temperature class of
these devices is rather a function of the product temperature and ambient temperature that is
present and the specific device version. Please see the following tables for the assignments.
The tables take into account the following parameters:
• Installed equipment
• Maximum values P
• Ambient temperature T
• Product temperature T
• Standard or high temperature version (HT)
• Heat resistance of the connecting cable
When there is more than type of built-in equipment, the data of the most unfavourable
equipment should be used.

INFORMATION!
The maximum permissible product temperatures listed in the tables are valid under
the following conditions:
•
The measuring device is installed and operated in accordance with the installation
instructions.
•
It must be ensured that the flowmeter is not heated by the effects of additional
heat radiation (sunshine, neighbouring system components) and
thus operated above the permissible ambient temperature range.
•
Insulation must be limited to the piping.
Unobstructed ventilation of the indicator part must be ensured.
To do this, the variant with a projecting indicator (HT version) is preferable.

3 INSTALLATION
3.1 Installation
Installation and setup must be carried out according to the applicable installation installation
standards (e.g. EN 60079-14) by qualified personnel trained in explosion protection. The
information given in the Installation and Operation Instructions and the Supplementary
Installation and Operation Instructions must always be observed.
Install level meters so that
• There are no external forces affecting the indicator part.
• The device is accessible for any visual inspections that are necessary, and can be viewed from
all sides.
• The nameplate is clearly visible.
• It can be operated from a location with secure footing.
CAUTION!
The manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from improper use or use other than the
intended purpose. This applies in particular to hazards due to insufficient corrosion resistance
and suitability of the materials in contact with product.
BW25
3.2 Installation condititions
The device shall be installed such that mechanical forces from incoming flow or impact sparks in
the measuring system (e.g., from agitators) are prevented, particularly for displacement rods
made of titanium.
3.3 Tank socket
The tank socket for the meter must form a flameproof joint with the screw thread on the tank
such that the joint conforms to EN 50 018
3.4 Auxiliary connections on the reference vessel
The locking screw thread forms a flameproof joint with the reference vessel when given at least
five full turns. The screw must be removed to use the auxiliary connection. The tank must be
emptied prior to removing the locking screw!
Take appropriate measures to ensure that the auxiliary connection is flameproof. The fitting
screwed into the auxiliary connection must form a flameproof joint with the thread in the
reference vessel that conforms to DIN EN 60079-1 (note thread quality and thread length).
12
When using the auxiliary connection, the operator must ensure that no prohibited changes are
made to the process conditions (e.g. pressure, temperature, etc.).

Connection cables for the intrinsically safe circuits must be selected to comply with the
applicable installation standard (e.g., EN 60079-14 / VDE 0165). The formation of summation
currents between the various intrinsically safe circuits shall be prevented.
Lay cables so as to ensure that there is sufficient distance between surfaces of the measuring
unit and the connecting cable.
The level meter comes standard with a blanking plug and a cable entry. These elements
guarantee protection from foreign bodies and water (protection type) IP65 as per EN 60529.
Consult the "Technical Data" section in the BW25 handbook for the nominal diameter range for
the cable entries.
Proper blanking plugs and seals are to be used for unused cable entries. Ensure that the seals
are tight.

Unused openings shall be closed in compliance with DIN EN 60079-1.
Cable entries and blanking plugs used shall comply with class of protection when they are ready
for operation and receive individual separate certification in accordance with DIN EN 60079-1. In
accordance with the standard IP54 is requested as minimum.
The cables can be routed into the flameproof terminal compartment in different ways:
• Direct entry of the power cables by way of flameproof cable glands in the flameproof terminal
compartment requires a separate test certificate as per DIN EN 60079-1 for flameproof
entries.
• Direct entry of the cables by way of conduits into the flameproof terminal compartment of the
device requires a flameproof joint after screwing in the conduit and a suitable stopping box in
accordance with DIN EN 60079-1.
• Direct entry of the cables by way of conduits using built-in conical thread adapters. Only
conduit with threaded ends that comply with the description on the adapter shall be inserted
into the thread adapter. The thread on the conduit must conform to the requirements of
standard DIN EN 60079-1 (min. 6 threads). A suitable stopping box shall be provided within
450 mm of the entry into the terminal compartment.
BW25
CAUTION!
Ensure that the thread adapter is firmly seated in the housing. This applies in particular after
loosening the conduits. Devices shall be electrically isolated before loosening the conduits.
Before loosening any conduit adapters, be sure to allow for any necessary waiting times before

•
The converter shall be connected to the equipotential bonding conductors via the outer PA
connector
•
The wiring for the liquid level indicator's electrical connection shall be fixed.
BW25/.././M10 liquid level indicators do not require a separate power supply. The required
supply is provided via the current output.
• Before connecting or disconnecting the electrical connection cables of the device, make sure
that all cables leading to the converter are isolated from the ground of the hazardous area.
This also applies to equipotential bonding conductors (PA).
• All connecting cable conductors and shields that are not securely connected to the
equipotential grounding system of the hazardous area shall be carefully isolated from one
another and from ground (1500Vrms test voltage for non-intrinsically safe cables)
• Connect all shields by the shortest route possible to the press fitted U-clamp (PE) terminal
located in the terminal compartment. If shields are to be grounded at both ends (e.g., for EMC
reasons), adequate equipotential bonding is required between the two shields to avoid
unacceptable equalizing currents.
The converter shall be incorporated into the equipotential bonding system of the hazardous area.
Connect the conductor to the press-fitted U-clamp mounted on the outside of the converter
housing.
The meter can be incorporated into the equipotential bonding system of the hazardous area
using the U-clamp mounted on the flange if present, or suitable conductive connections (seals,
etc.)

The following visual checks should be carried out at regular intervals in conjunction with the
plant inspections required in hazardous areas to keep equipment in good operating condition:
• Check the meter and, if applicable, the reference vessel for leakage
• Include the liquid level indicator in regular pressure tests of the process vessels (only for
flammable process products).
Depending on the application, worst-case operating conditions may lead to reduced measuring
performance as a result of fouling of the measuring system. Clean the meter in accordance with
the installation and operating instructions for non-explosion proof versions of the product. The
meter must be removed for cleaning. Removing the meter will need to be coordinated with
