3.3 Use in hazardous areas
WARNING
Loss of safety of device with type of protection "Intrinsic safety Ex i"
If the device has already been operated in non-intrinsically safe circuits or the electrical
specifications have not been observed, the safety of the device is no longer ensured for use
in hazardous areas. There is a risk of explosion.
● Connect the device with type of protection "Intrinsic safety" solely to an intrinsically safe
circuit.
● Observe the specifications for the electrical data on the certificate and/or in Technical
data (Page 63).
WARNING
Use of incorrect device parts in potentially explosive environments
Devices and their associated device parts are either approved for different types of protection
or they do not have explosion protection. There is a risk of explosion if device parts (such as
covers) are used for devices with explosion protection that are not expressly suited for this
type of protection. If you do not adhere to these guidelines, the test certificates and the
manufacturer warranty will become null and void.
● Use only device parts that have been approved for the respective type of protection in the
potentially explosive environment. Covers that are not suited for the "explosion-proof" type
of protection are identified as such by a notice label attached to the inside of the cover
with "Not Ex d Not SIL".
● Do not swap device parts unless the manufacturer specifically ensures compatibility of
these parts.
WARNING
Use of the device with intrinsic safety "Ex i" type of protection in a polluted environment.
If you open the device on the display side, there is a risk of pollution. The safety of the device
for use in hazardous areas is therefore no longer guaranteed. There is a danger of explosion.
● Ensure that the environment is clean before rotating or replacing the display.
WARNING
Incorrect material for the diaphragm in Zone 0
Risk of explosion in the hazardous area. If operated with intrinsically safe supply devices of
category "ib" or devices of the flameproof enclosure version "Ex d" and simultaneous use in
Zone 0, pressure transmitter explosion protection depends on the tightness of the diaphragm.
● Ensure that the material used for the diaphragm is suitable for the process medium. Refer
to the information in the section "Technical data (Page 63)".
Danger to personnel, system and environment will result from improper disassembly.
● Never attempt to loosen, remove, or disassemble process connection while vessel
