1 Area of applicability
These safety instructions apply to VEGADIS 176 Ex (DIS176.ICSI) according to the Certicate of
Conformity IECEx PTB 15.0002 X (certicate number on the type label) and to all instruments with
the number of the safety instruction (50016) on the type label.
2 General information
The VEGADIS 176 Ex (DIS176.ICSI) is an intrinsically safe, scalable, digital indicating instrument
without external energy for installation in hazardous areas of zone 1. It is looped into intrinsically
safe 4 … 20 mA circuits. The voltage supply for power supply of the electronics is taken from the
4 … 20 mA circuit.
The VEGADIS 176 Ex (DIS176.ICSI) is suitable for use in hazardous atmospheres of all combustible materials of explosion group IIA, IIB and IIC for applications requiring EPL-Gb instruments.
If the VEGADIS 176 Ex (DIS176.ICSI) are installed and operated in hazardous areas, the general Ex
installation regulations IEC 60079-14 as well as these safety instructions must be observed.
The operating instructions as well as the installation regulations or standards that apply for explosion protection of electrical systems must generally be observed.
The installation of explosion-endangered systems must always be carried out by qualied person-
nel.
EPL-Gb instrument
The VEGADIS 176 Ex (DIS176.ICSI) is installed in hazardous areas requiring an EPL-Gb instrument
of category 2G (EPL-Gb). The VEGADIS 176 Ex (DIS176.ICSI) can be looped in an intrinsically safe
circuit of EPL-Ga instruments.
