The Transmitter must be installed according to National Electrical Code (ANSI-NFPA 70) and shall be
installed with the enclosure, mounting, and spacing segregation requirement of the ultimate application.
Equipment that is FM-approved for intrinsic safety may be connected to barriers based on the ENTITY
CONCEPT. This concept permits interconnection of approved transmitters, meters and other devices in
combinations which have not been specifically examined by FM, provided that the agency's criteria are
met. The combination is then intrinsically safe, if the entity concept is acceptable to the authority having
jurisdiction over the installation.
The entity concept criteria are as follows:
The intrinsically safe devices, other than barriers, must not be a source of power.

Para instalação segura do TXUN-ST/FM o seguinte deve ser ob servado. O modelo deve apenas
ser instalado por pessoas qualificadas que são familiarizadas com as leis nacionais e
internacionais, diretrizes e padrões que se aplicam a esta área.
O ano de fabricação pode ser pego dos dois primeiros dígitos do número de série.
O circuito do sensor não é isolado galvanicamente do circuito de entrada de forma infalível.
Contudo, a isolação galvânica entre os circuitos é capaz de resistir a um ensaio de tensão de
500Vac durante 1 minuto.
Em uma atmosfera de gás potencialmente explosiva, o transmissor deve ser montado em um
invólucro a fim de garantir um grau de proteção de no mínimo IP20 de acordo com a ABNT
NBR IEC60529. Se contudo, o ambiente necessitar de um nível de proteção maior, isso deve
ser levado em consideração.
Se o transmissor é instalado em uma atmosfera explosiva exigindo o uso de equipamento de
proteção de nível Ga e se o invólucro é feito de alumínio, ele deve ser instalado de modo que,
mesmo em caso remoto de avaria, fontes de ignição devido ao impacto e fricção, faíscas são
eliminadas.
Se o invólucro é feito de materiais não metálicos, cargas eletroestáticas devem ser evitadas.

Para instalação em atmosfera de poeira potencialmente explosiva, as instruções a seguir são
aplicáveis:
O transmissor deve ser montado em invólucro de metal forma B de acordo com DIN43729 que
está fornecendo um grau de proteção de pelo menos IP6X de acordo com ABNT NBR
IEC60529. O invólucro deve ser adequado para aplicação pretendida e instalado
corretamente.
As entradas dos cabos e os elementos de obturação que podem ser utilizados devem ser
adequados à aplicação pretendida e corretamente instalados.
Para temperatura ambiente >= 60ºC, fios de resistência ao calor devem ser usados com uma
faixa de pelo menos 20K acima da temperatura ambiente.
A temperatura da superfície do invólucro é igual à temperatura ambiente mais 20 K, por uma
camada de pó, com espessura de até 5 mm.
