1.3.1 ATEX-Accreditation / EU-Type Examination Certificate
There’s an EU-type examination certificate for the described amplifier for operating it in accordance with
these regulations.
EU-type examination certificate name:
TÜV 99 ATEX 1469
Under section „ATEX Inspection Certificate” is a copy of the EU-type examination certificate. The specified
data are by all means to be followed.
The electrical connections must be made inside a certified intrinsically safe circuit, with in the certificate
stated limits only.
2 Instructions for use of the measuring amplifier
Notice:
The parameterizations, further information concerning the scaling as well as the customized
analogue output can be found on the additional page "Device-Configuration".
Since this amplifier is a highly sensitive measurement technology product, it must be used for its intended
use as well as the described operating conditions only. Initial start-up and changes in setup and settings
must be done by qualified personnel only. To prevent interventions / modifications made by
unauthorized personnel, suitable measures must be taken. Both function and calibration must be checked
regularly.
The amplifier is contained in an aluminum housing which is equipped with an EMC- cover gasket as well
as EMC-cable glands. This ensures IP-level 68 (1m, 1h) according to DIN EN 60529 (VE 0470).
Notice:
The case / amplifier must not be opened! Otherwise the gasket will be damaged and the
specified protection class / tightness will be reduced. If opened nonetheless, the gasket must be renewed
professionally.
The whole construction must be potential-equalized. Under no circumstances are there any potential
equalization currents over the cable shield allowed.
The housing is to be mounted on a grounded object /surface.
The tilt/ inclination measuring system must be connected to clean earth-potential. To avoid possible
potential equalization currents over the shield of the cable to the following evaluation unit, this shield
should be connected over a suitable capacitor (10 nF / 200 V).
Overall the shield connections must be done properly to EMC-standards (as short as possible with large
wire cross-section) and connected to a central point (star grounding). In order to not increase the
disturbance sensitivity of the amplifier, all cables should be kept as short as possible and should not be
