1.1 General notes
These safety instructions are valid for the pressure transmitter OPTIBAR * 5060
VGK5/6/D*A/W/V C/U/0/H/T with integrated electronics type Z (4…20 mA), H (4…20 mA/HART
®
),
A (4…20 mA/HART
®
with SIL qualification), P (Profibus PA), F (Foundation Fieldbus), S, T
(electronic differential pressure measurement) without additional electronics (X) and OPTIBAR *
5060 VGK5/6/D*A/W/V C/U/0/H/T with integrated electronics type H (4…20 mA/HART®), A (4…20
mA/HART® with SIL qualification), with additional electronics (Z) according to the EU type
examination certificate TUEV 20 ATEX 277368 X.
The pressure-based measuring devices OPTIBAR * 5060 VGK5/6/D*A/W/V C/U/0/H/T are also
used for pressure and level measurement in hazardous areas.
The measured products can also be combustible liquids, gases, mist or vapours.
The OPTIBAR * 5060 VGK5/6/D*A/W/V C/U/0/H/T consist of an electronics housing with
integrated electronic insert, a process connection element, a probe and the pressure measuring
cell with optionally connected diaphragm seal. As an option, the display and adjustment module
can also be integrated.
The OPTIBAR * 5060 VGK5/6/D*A/W/V C/U/0/H/T are suitable for use in hazardous atmospheres
of all combustible materials of explosion group IIA, IIB and IIC for applications requiring
equipment category 1G, 1/2G or 2G.
If the OPTIBAR * 5060 VGK5/6/D*A/W/V C/U/0/H/T are installed and operated in hazardous
areas, the general installation conditions for explosion protection EN 60079-14 and these safety
instructions must be observed.
1.2 EU conformity
The manufacturer declares with the EU declaration of conformity on his own responsibility
conformity with the protection goals of directive 2014/34/EU according to EN IEC 60079-0,
EN 60079-11 and EN 60079-26 for use in hazardous areas with gas.
The EU declaration of conformity is based on the EU type examination certificate:
The "X" after the certificate number refers to special conditions for safe use of the device, which
have been listed in these instructions.
If needed the EU type examination certificate can be downloaded from the manufacturer's
