GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION 1
This supplementary “Ex” instruction applies to explosion protected versions of the
electronic signal outputs ESKII, ESK2A and ESK3-PA. It supplements the installation and
operating instructions issued for the non-hazardous-duty versions.
These instructions only contain data relevant to explosion protection. The technical
specifications of the installation and operating instructions for the non-hazardous-duty
version remain valid unless explicitly excluded or replaced by these Instructions.
Electronic signal outputs of the ESKII, ESK2A and ESK3-PA series have been certified in
accordance with European Directive 94/9 EG (ATEX 100a) to European standards EN 60079- X for
use in potentially explosive areas as stated in
by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB).
This certification and its boundary conditions must be observed.
Installation, startup and maintenance may be carried out only by personnel trained in explosion

2 DEVICE VERSIONS AND MARKING
2.1 Description
ESK II and the update version ESK2A are a 4...20mA loop transmitter in 2-wire technology, used
as a signal output. The linear analog signal output represents the volume or massflow of a VAmeter or the level of a levelmeter.
ESK3-PA provides additional information for connecting and operating a PROFIBUS-PA field bus.
The details in these instructions, especially the safety instructions, have not been modified by
this supplement, and must continue to be observed.
The signal converter ESK3-PA is designed in the context of the modular concept. Installation and
attachment are identical to the signal converter ESKII and ESK2A.
