1.1 General notes
These additional Instructions apply to the explosion-protected versions of the variable-area
flowmeters with electrical components and the marking II 3 G and II 3 D. They are
supplementary to the Installation and Operation Instructions for the non-hazardous-duty
versions.
The information given in these Instructions contains only the data relevant to Category 3
explosion protection. The technical details given in the Installation and Operation Instructions for
the non-explosion protected versions apply unchanged unless excluded or superseded by these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 and
dust.
The assessment was made according to Directive 94/9/EC, Annex VIII (module "Internal control
of production"), and is registered company-internal under KMT-TDZ-A041X. This registration
number is also provided on the nameplate.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1
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.

2.4 Flammable products
Atmospheric conditions:
Atmospheric conditions:
Atmospheric conditions:Atmospheric conditions:
An explosive atmosphere is a mixture of air and flammable gases, vapours, mists or dusts under
atmospheric conditions. The following values define it
= -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.
Variable area flowmeters operate outside of atmospheric conditions, which means that
explosion protection according to Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX) – regardless of the zone assignment
– is fundamentally not applicable due to the lack of key safety data for the interior of the
measuring section.
WARNING!
Operation with flammable products is only permitted as long as no explosive fuel/air mixture
builds up on the inside of the flowmeter under operating conditions. The operator is responsible
for ensuring that the flowmeter is operated safely as regards the temperature and pressure of
the products used. In case of operation with flammable products the measuring units must be
included in the periodic pressure tests of the system. When using the device version H250/C...
(PTFE-liner, nonconductive) the min. conductivity of the medium must be 10
avoid the electrostatic charge.
