Explosion protection
For primary explosion protection, that is, for measures to be taken to
prevent or hinder the development of a dangerous explosive
atmosphere, please observe the guideline 1999/92/EC (ATEX 137) or
the corresponding national guidelines.
For secondary explosion protection, that is, for measures to hinder the
ignition of a surrounding explosive atmosphere by electrical devices,
Fuchs will gladly make the "Explosion Protection Manual"
available to you for a nominal fee.
Note in particular DIN EN 60079-10, DIN EN 60079-14, DIN EN 50014
and DIN EN 50020, or the corresponding national guidelines.
Fuchs also offers a seminar on the topic of explosion
protection.

Installation
The devices of the K-system from Fuchs and thus also the
HART Loop Converter KFD2-HLC-(Ex)1.D(.**) can be mounted on a 35 mm
standard rail corresponding to DIN EN 50022. The devices must be snapped
onto the rail
vertically
, and never slanted or tipped to the side.
Additional possibilities for mounting, e. g. using the Power Rail, can be found
in the K-System operating manual on our webpage www.pepperl-fuchs.com
(enter

The HART Loop Converter KFD2-HLC-(Ex)1.D(.**) is constructed in protection degree
IP20 and must therefore be protected from undesirable ambient conditions (water,
small foreign objects).
