1.1  General notes

These additional Ex instructions apply to explosion-protected versions of  the vortex flowmeters 
with the marking II 3 G. They complement the standard documentation for non-explosion 
protected versions. 

The information given in these Instructions contains only the data relevant to Category 3 
explosion protection. The technical details given in the Installation and Operation Instructions for 
the non-explosion protected versions apply unchanged unless excluded or superseded by these 
Instructions.

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 for use in hazardous areas with gas 
and dust.

The assessment was made according to Directive 2014/34/EU, Annex VIII (module "Internal 
control of production") and is registered company-internal under KMT-TDZ-A091X. This 
registration number is also provided on the nameplate.

1.3  Safety instructions

If these instructions are not followed, there is a risk of explosion.

Assembly, installation, start-up and maintenance may only be performed by personnel trained in 
explosion protection!

CAUTION!

Operating conditions and place of installation may require compliance with additional standards, 
directives or laws. The responsibility for compliance rests solely with the operator or his agent.
