1.1 General
These supplementary Ex instructions apply for explosion-protected designs of the variable area
flowmeters DK.../../../..-Ex for the category II2G.
They supplement the installation and operating instructions for non-explosion-protected
designs.
The information in these instructions contains only the data concerning the explosion protection
of category 2.
The technical details in the installation and operating instructions for the non-explosionprotected designs apply unchanged in as far as they are not excluded or replaced by these
instructions.
1.2 EC conformity
The manufacturer declares with the EC Declaration of Conformity on his own responsibility
conformity with the protection goals of Directive 94/9/EC for use in hazardous areas with gas.
The EC Type Examination Certificate of the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) forms
the basis of the EC Declaration of Conformity:
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1
If required the EC Type Test Certificate can be downloaded under www.krohne.com.
1.3 Security information
Assembly, installation, start-up and maintenance may only be performed by personnel trained in
explosion protection!
CAUTION!
The operator respectively his agent is responsible to follow further standards, directives or laws
if required due to operating conditions or place of installation. This applies particularly for the
use of easy detachable process connections such as SMS or Clamp when measuring flammable
mediums.
