Intrinsically Safe sensors for Hazardous DUST atmospheres

Available in any travel from 10mm to 50mm.

   
     

Specification

Intrinsic Safety  
ATEX approval

The sensor is ATEX approved to Ex II 1GD EEx ia IIC T4 Ex iaD 20 T135°C (Ta = -40°C to +80°C).  This designates the sensor as belonging to; Group II: suitable for all areas except mining, Category 1 GD: can be used in areas with continuous, long or frequent periods of exposure to hazardous gas (Zones 2 to 0) and dust (Zone 20).

Gas:

Protection class ia, denotes intrinsically safe for all zones.

Apparatus group IIC: suitable for IIA, IIB and IIC

explosive gases.

Temperature class T4: maximum sensor surface

temperature under fault conditions 135°C.

Dust:

T135°C: maximum sensor surface temperature under

fault conditions 135°C.

Ambient temperature range extended to -40°C to

+80°C.

Galvanic Barrier

Intrinsically safe sensors must be used with a galvanically isolated barrier with safety parameters not exceeding:- Ui: 11.4V, Ii: 0.46A, Pi: 0.51W.  Sensor can be installed with a cable length up to 150m maximum from the barrier, capacitance and inductance can be up to:- Capacitance: 550 nF max, Inductance: 99 μH max.

Approved barriers are available from Positek; there is a

choice of 0.5-9.5V or 4-20mA transmission outputs. The sensor is calibrated to suit the selected barrier transmission output.
