Operating Requirements
2.2.1 Environmental Requirements
The Liquidew I.S. sensor assembly is intrinsically safe and designed to be installed on-
site, indoors or outdoors, directly at the point of measurement within a Hazardous Area.
The sensor assembly is ATEX, IECEx and
QPS
certified. To operate correctly, the sensor
assembly must be installed within a suitable sampling system (Michell Instruments can
supply standard and custom designed sampling systems).
The Liquidew I.S. control unit is NOT designed for use in a Hazardous Area and should
only be installed in a safe area. The control unit is intended for indoor installation only
and operates within environmental limits of 0...+50 °C (+32...+122 °F) and <90%RH.
The control unit contains built-in isolation barriers permitting connection, direct from
the Hazardous Area, of the Liquidew I.S. sensor assembly.
2.2.2 Power Requirement
The Liquidew I.S. control unit can be ordered for either of the following electrical
supplies:
•
85...265 V AC, 47/63 Hz @ 4W max 10W
OR
•
10...72 V DC @ 4W max 10W
The Liquidew I.S. sensor assembly is powered through the 2-wire signal cable directly
from the control unit.
Please refer to the Liquidew I.S. Premium Sampling System Instructions for the power
requirement of the sampling system.
