Controls

Both models are controlled and calibrated via four
front panel push buttons.    In the display mode i.e.
when the indicator is displaying a process variable,
these push buttons have the following functions:

(

While  this  button  is  pushed  the
indicator will display the input current
in  mA,  or  as  a  percentage  of  the
instrument span depending upon how
the  indicator  has  been  configured.
When  the  button  is  released  the
normal  display  in  engineering  units
will return.  The function of this push
button  is  modified  when  optional
alarms are fitted to the indicator.

&

While  this  button  is  pushed  the
indicator  will  display  the  numerical
value  and  analogue  bargraph*  the
indicator  has  been  calibrated  to
display  with  a  4mA

Φ

 input.   When

released  the  normal  display  in
engineering units will return.

*

While  this  button  is  pushed  the
indicator  will  display  the  numerical
value  and  analogue  bargraph*  the
indicator  has  been  calibrated  to
display  with  a  20mA

Φ

 input.   When

released  the  normal  display  in
engineering units will return.

)

No  function  in  the  display  mode
unless the tare function is being used.

Provides  direct  access  to  the  alarm
setpoints  when  the  indicator  is fitted
with  optional  alarms  and  the  

AC5P

  If the indicator has been calibrated

using the CAL function, calibration
points may not be 4 and 20mA.

CERTIFICATION

Both models have ATEX and IECEx gas and dust
certification.  This section of the instruction manual
describes  ATEX  gas  certification.    ATEX  dust
certification is described in Appendix 1 and IECEx
approvals are described in Appendix 2.

3.1

ATEX Ex nA certification

Notified Body Intertek Testing and Certification Ltd
have issued both models with a common EC-Type
Examination Certificate number ITS11ATEX47255.
This  confirms  compliance  with  harmonised
European  standards  and  it  has  been  used  to
confirm  compliance  with  the  European  ATEX
Directive  for  Group  II,  Category 3G  equipment,
Ex   nA  ic   IIC   T5   Gc   Ta   =   -40   to   +70°C.     The
indicators carry the community mark and, subject
to local codes of practice, may be installed in any
of  the  European  Economic  Area  (EEA)  member
countries.  ATEX certificates are also acceptable
for installations in Switzerland.

This  section  of  the  instruction  manual  describes
ATEX  installations  in  explosive  gas  atmospheres
conforming  with  EN

 

60079-14

 

Electrical

installations design, selection and erection

.  When

designing systems for installation outside the UK
the local Code of Practice should be consulted.

3.2

Zones, gas groups and T rating

Both indicators have been certified Ex nA ic IIC T5.
When connected to a suitable system they may be
installed in:

Zone 2

explosive gas air mixture not
likely to occur, and if it does
will only exist for a short time.

Be used with gases in groups:

Group

A

propane

Group

B

ethylene

Group

C

hydrogen

In gases that may be used with equipment having
a temperature classification of:

T1

450°C

T2

300°C

T3

200°C

T4

135°C

T5

100°C

At ambient temperatures between -40 and +70°C.

This  allows  both  models  to  be  used  with  most
common industrial gases except carbon disulphide
and ethyl nitrite which have an ignition temperature
of 95°C.
