1.3 Certification and Safety Statements
To maintain DEKRA certification, the transducer is provided with a ATEX and IECEx certified compression fitting and/or
adapter of either thread M25 X 1.5 (material: brass) or ¾” NPT (material: 316 SS), both with tube size of 0.50” O.D. For
example: Tyco part number 496SSGL34Ex ATEX certified under BASEEFA 08ATEX0327X and IECEx BAS08.0107X, Peppers
adapter part number ARB/NP/075NPT/M20 ATEX certified under SIRA09ATEX1322X or SIRA09ATEX4323X and IECEx
SIR09.0121X and reducer Capri part number 740724 ATEX certified under LCIO8ATEX6085X and IECEx LC018.0035X or
equivalent parts. ATEX/IECEx certified enclosure, Type Ex d IIC. For example: International Metal Engineering PTE
Limited (IME) Type 8080, 8075, 8066 or 7080 certified under SIRA 07ATEX1331U and IECEx SIR 07.0111U or equivalent that
complies with EN 60079-0:2012/IEC 60079-0:2011 and EN 60079-1:2007/IEC 60079-1:2007. For example: Cortem SL-26.1N
certified under CESI 03ATEX032U or equivalent. A certified metric-to-NPT adapter (material: brass) may be used in
addition to the compression fitting in applicable configurations. Both fitting and adapter to comply with EN
60079-0:2012/ IEC 60079-0:2011 and EN 60079-1:2007/ IEC 60079-1:2007 for Ex d IIC. For electrical connection, the
transducer must be mounted into a certified metal enclosure with type of protection flameproof enclosure “D”,
complying with EN 60079-1:2007 and IEC 60079-1:2007 Ex d IIC. Measures must be taken to ensure a good electrical
contact and to prevent the threads from self-loosening. The compression fitting is suitable for temperatures –60°C
to 250°C.
