Marking
Devices with Ex approval are marked on the name plate.
Process pressure
The device construction allows process over-pressure upto 6/ 16 bar (87/ 232 psi) (see name
plate). These pressures are allowed for test purposes. The definition of the ATEX/ IEC-Ex is only
valid for a container-over-pressure between -0.2 .. +0.1 bar (-2.9 .. +1.45 psi). For higher or lower
pressures the approval is not valid.
Process and ambient
temperature
The permitted temperature ranges are marked on the name plate. Observe derating curves.

Max. Surface Temperature
The temperature marking on the name plate refers to the instruction manual. On the following tables the relevant
temperature ratings are shown. The maximum surface temperature is the hottest temperature of the unit which could occur during
malfunction (according to Ex-definition).
