1.1 Intended Use
The sample gas probe is intended for installation into gas
analysis systems in commercial applications.
ATEX
Used in zone 1 (explosion group IIC) and 21 (dust group IIIC)
and sampling from zone 0 (explosion group IIC) and 20 (dust
group IIIC).
IECEx:
Used in zone 1 (explosion group IIC) and sampling from zone 0
(explosion group IIC).
DANGER
Explosion hazard
Gas and dust atmosphere must not be present at the same
time. These so-called hybrid mixtures can have different igni-
tion points than the individual components and are therefore
not included in the explosion protection markings for gas and
dust.
Blowing an internal explosive atmosphere back from the gas
probe is prohibited due to the potential risk of explosion. Pro-
cess gases or process gas mixtures must not contain solids
which produce ignitable impact sparks when combined with
the probe materials including filter and sampling tubes.

Please refer to the type plate for the exact probe marking.
For devices designed for sampling from zone 0 or zone 20 the
areas of application are indicated in the marking with "/":

The opposite is an
example of the gas
marking with sep-
arate areas of ap-
plication. The same
procedure applies
to dust approvals.
Please note, unlike the operating zone, the temperature class
for sampling zone 0 is lower. This is also indicated by the igni-
tion protection marking in the type plate.
Always note the explosion protection marking in the name
plate of your equipment (and all add-on parts).
Sample gas probes are among the main components in a gas
conditioning system.
• Therefore also note the related drawing in the data sheet
in the appendix.
• Before installing the device, verify the listed technical
data meet the application parameters.
• Further verify all contents are complete.
Please refer to the type plate to identify your model. In addi-
tion to the job number it also contains the item number and
model designation.
Please note the specific values of the device when connecting,
and the correct versions when ordering spare parts.
