The maximum ambient temperature range of -20 °C to +60 °C may not be exceeded.
The transmitter MTP200i..-E belongs to equipment of explosion protection (EX ia) IIC or (EX ib) IIC and has to
be operated always outside of potentially explosive areas. Only electrical circuits certified as intrinsically safe
may be connected to both circuits. Before operation, the intrinsically safety must be verified for both the supply
circuit connection for MTP200i…-E signal circuit with the connected equipment, including wires.
The EG Examination Certificate and the regulations of EN 60079-14: 1996 ff must be observed.
Installation and operation
The installation of the MTP200i..-E transmitter has to take place in such a way that clearance of bright parts of
intrinsically safe electric circuits amount to the metallic housing parts at least 3 mm and to the bright parts of
the not-intrinsically safe electric
circuits at least 6 mm
.
According to the EN 60079-11 connecting units for the outside intrinsically safe electric circuits need to be
arranged in such a way that bright parts are at least 50 mm away from connecting pieces or bright conductors
of not-intrinsically safe electric circuits.
The contact connections of the multipole connector to the intrinsically safe electric circuits and the not-
intrinsically safe electric circuits are characterized on the type plate clearly.
For the safe operation a protective grounding connection at the 19” rack must be made, in
order to ensure
via the MTP 200’s front plate a firm integration into the potential equalization.
The assembly/disassembly, installation, operation, and maintenance may be only performed by qualified
personnel in the automation industry under appropriate regulations and the MTP200i..-TE operating
instructions. The technical data and power requirement information should be noted for the Installation.
