Signal converter M10-EEx d – Supplementary instructions 11/2002
1 General safety information
These additional “Ex“ Instructions apply to the hazardous-duty versions of H..../..../M10-EEx
variable-area flowmeters. They are supplementary to the Installation and Operating Instructions for
the non-hazardous-duty versions.
The information given in these Instructions contains only the data relevant to explosion protection.
The technical details given in the Installation and Operating Instructions for the non-hazardousduty version apply unchanged unless excluded or superseded by these Instructions.
In compliance with European Directive 94/9 EG (ATEX 100a), variable-area flowmeters of the
H..../..../M10-EEx series are certified in conformity with European Standards EN 50xxx for use in
hazardous areas under
PTB 01 ATEX 1154
by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB).
This certification together with its boundary conditions is required to be observed without fail (see
Attachment A.1 ”EC type test certificate“).
IMPORTANT!
Mounting, installation, (initial) startup and maintenance work may only be carried out
by personnel who have received "training in explosion protection"!
Maintenance work of a safety-relevant nature within the meaning of explosion protection
may only be carried out by the manufacturer, his authorized representative or under the
supervision of authorized inspectors.
Note!
For processes involving combustible and highly flammable products, easily removable
threaded connections to DIN 11851; SMS; TriClamp (e.g. DIN 32676; ISO 2852 Clamp);
are not allowed.

The H..../..../M10-EEx variable-area flowmeter consists of a combination of signal converter and
measuring tube. The main characteristics of the explosion-protected version are described below.
3.1 Process products
Flammable products are allowed provided they are not present in potentially explosive form.
3.2 Category / Zone allocation
The H..../..../M10-EEx variable-area flowmeter is basically designed in Category 2 for use in
Zone 1.
3.3 Type of protection
The H..../. .../M10-EEx variable-area flowmeters bear the following marking: EEx d IIC T6
3.4 Special lock
The sealing covers of the electronics compartment are secured by a special lock. The locking
screw requires use of an Allen key (3 mm size).

3.5 Cable entries / sealing plugs
Cable entries and sealing plugs must, in ready-to-operate condition, satisfy the IP Class of
Protection IP67 and each be separately certified in conformity with EN 50 018. Any requirements
specified in the test certificates of the components shall be observed.
3.6 Power supply
Type H..../..../M10-EEx variable-area flowmeters do not require any separate power source. The
necessary supply is obtained via the current output.
3.7 I/O functions
When connecting the I/O interfaces of the H..../..../M10-EEx variable-area flowmeters, the
following values need to be taken into account.
I/O function
(1)
Nominal values of the non- Added restriction

3.8 Ambient temperatures / temperature classes
The permissible ambient temperature for the variable-area flowmeters is limited to a value
≤ 60 °C.
of T
amb
With regard to maximum surface temperatures, variable-area flowmeters are exposed to three
heat sources:
Ambient temperature T
•
Electric power loss Pv
•
Process temperature Tm
•
Accordingly, at a given maximum ambient temperature (T
loss (P
≤ 3 W), we obtain maximum surface temperatures as a factor of the process temperature.
v
For that reason, the devices are not allocated to any specific temperature class; rather, the
temperature class of the devices is a function of the actual process temperature and ambient
temperature, see table below.
Temperature

5 Mounting and installation
Mounting and installation to be carried out in conformity with the valid installation standards for
hazardous areas (e.g. EN 60079-14 / VDE 0165) by specialist personnel trained in explosion
protection.
The information given in the standard Installation and Operating Instructions, the Supplementary
Installation and Operating Instructions (Ex) and also in the EC type test certificate (see Attachment
A.1) must be observed without fail.
Verify that the variable-area flowmeter is suitable for the application in question by comparing
the details on the nameplate with those in Section 3.2 (Categories / Zone allocation), Section 2
(Type code) and Section 4 (Marking).
When installing, please pay special attention to the following points.
