These additional instructions are an extension to the “Installation and Operating Instructions” and
only apply to the EEx version of the IFS 4000 F, IFS 5000 F and IFS 6000 F electromagnetic
primary heads in remote design. All technical information described in the “Installation and
Operating Instructions” are applicable, when not specifically excluded, completed or replaced by the
instructions in these additional instructions.
No changes regarding safety may be made to the devices. Unauthorized changes
might affect the explosion safety of the devices.
• The prescriptions and regulations as well as the electrical data described in
the EC-type examination certificate must be obeyed.
• Beside the instructions for electrical installations in non-hazardous locations
according to the applicable national standard (e.g. IEC 364), especially the
regulations in EN 60079-14 "Electrical installations in hazardous locations" or
equivalent national standard must be followed.
• Installation, establishment, utilization and maintenance are only allowed to be
executed by personnel with an education in explosion safety !

The ALTOFLUX IFS 4000 F-EEx electromagnetic primary head in remote design (F = field)
complies with the European Directive 94/9 EC (ATEX 100a) and has been approved for hazardous
classified locations of Zone 1 and 2 by the KEMA conform to the European Standards of the
EN 500xx series.
They have the following approval number:
KEMA 01 ATEX 2263 X
The IFS 4000 F-EEx primary head is designed for ambient temperatures in the range of -40°C up to
+60°C inclusive. The IFS 4000 F-EEx primary head in remote design is connected to an associated
signal converter, e.g. IFC 090 F/…-EEx, which is also approved in accordance with the European
Directive 94/9 EC (ATEX 100a). The signal converter is installed on a distance from the IFS 4000 FEEx primary head and connected via a field coil cable, an electrode cable and a bonding wire.
The IFS 4000 F-EEx primary head in remote design can be installed in environments that are
classified as Zone 1 or Zone 2 hazardous locations. The maximum permissible process liquid
temperature is dependent on the maximum ambient temperature (Ta) that can occur in that
environment too.
For installation of the IFS 4000 F-EEx primary head please conform to the following listed three
temperature classification tables on the next page. The first column lists the temperature classes for
gases and the second one the rating for dusts.
The first table applies to meter sizes larger and equal to DN300, which have type of protection
increased safety "EEx e".
The second table applies to meter sizes DN25 up to DN150 inclusive, which are performed as type
of protection flameproof enclosure "EEx d".
The third table applies to meter sizes DN10-20 (type protection increased safety “EEx e” and
encapsulation “EEx m”) and DN200-300 (increased safety “EEx e” and powder filling “EEx q”).
The following three tables only give the maximum possible temperatures for a lining material inside
the measuring tube of the primary head that consists of PFA. For information on temperature
restrictions of other lining materials, see Standard Installation and Operating Instructions.
The maximum process liquid temperature values in the above listed tables only
apply to a lining material of PFA (maximum operating temperature of 200°C). For
other lining materials (e.g. rubber) is a lower process liquid temperature required for
safe operation. See the standard Installation and Operating Instructions for
detailed information about other lining materials.
The IFS 4000 F-EEx is marked with one of the following EEx-codes, which depends on the meter
size range (see table below).
