VKM K11/0118 

The operation instructions with the broader details listed therein and the 
installation regulations for the potentially explosive atmosphere should be 
observed. Some essential measures are: 
 

a. The Flow Meter / -Switch has to involved in the potential equalisation 

system. 

b. Add-on control contacts can under application of EN 60079-14 article 

12.2.1 be used as simple electrical equipment without any additional 
marking in intrinsically safe equipment. 

c. Add-on control contacts with an own EU type examination test can be 

used, however, are not subject to this declaration.
