the elements necessary for the electrical connection (connector and cable, 3). The Ex d Type 
0813 angle sensor is always equipped with a threaded pin (4) for electrical potential equali-
sation (this is optional in the other types). Base plate and housing are made from an alumini-
um alloy as standard; stainless steel is available as an option. 

Figure 2 shows the typical installation conditions:

The  angle  sensor  (1)  is  usually  fixed  at  the  installation  site  to  the  appropriately  designed 
seatings (2) using securing elements (3). The normal to the measuring plane (4) is perpen-
dicular to the direction of gravity (5). The measurement electronics measure the angular po-
sition (6) of the angle sensor in the measuring plane and output this as an electrical signal. 

Versions  with  two  measuring  systems,  either  with  output  signals  on  separate  connect-
ors/cables  or  combined  in  one  connector/cable,  are  available  as  options.  More  information 
can  be  found  in  the  technical  data  sheets,  which  can  be  obtained  free  of  charge  from 
BROSA. 

1.2  Information on explosion protection 

The Ex d type 0813 angle sensor is encapsulated as pressure-resistant and thus suitable for 
use in potentially explosive atmospheres. The following specifications apply: 

Ignition protection types: 

o

  II 2G Ex d IIC T4 Gb / Ex d IIC T4 Gb 

o

  II 2G Ex d IIB T4 Gb / Ex d IIB T4 Gb
