Europe Certification (ATEX)

TX9165.01.i Sentro 8 Sensorstation (Group 1)
Ex Certificate Number: SIRA 09ATEX2285X
Ex Certification Code: I M1 Ex ia I Ma

General Conditions for Safe Use

 – Prior to installation, it is 

essential that the user refers to the above certificate to ensure 

that the termination and cable parameters are fully complied with 

and are compatible with the application. Copies of certificates    

are available from Trolex Ltd.

Cable glands used with this equipment must maintain an ingress 

protection of at least IP54.
ATEX directive 94/9/EC
EMC directive 2004/108/EC

Special Conditions for Safe Use of Sentro eModules and rModules

The minimum ingress protection stated in the Ex-certificates for the Sentro 

eModules and rModules are satisfied when mounted in the Sentro 8 Sensorstation,  

as are the conditions for impact protection and external fuse protection in the case 

of the infrared eModule. The Ex-certificates associated with the Sentro eModules 

and rModules are listed below:

eModule - Flammable (Group I)   

SIRA 10ATEX2046U

eModule - Toxic (Group I) 

 

SIRA 08ATEX2097U

eModule - Infrared (Group I) 

 

SIRA 10ATEX2356U

rModule - (Group I) 

 

 

SIRA 10ATEX2032U

Attention is drawn to the following conditions within the rModule Ex-certificates:

For the purpose of this certificate, a P+F inductive sensor to PTB00 ATEX 2048X to 

Category II 1G Ex ia IIC T6 connected to terminals 1m and 2m of a TX9160.01i.501 

NAMUR input module may be considered equivalent to Category I M1. The sensor 

shall be installed in such a manner as meets the requirements of Group I e.g. the
