General installation instructions
The sensor circuit is not infallibly galvanic isolated from the supply output circuit. However, the
galvanic isolation between the circuits is capable of withstanding a test voltage of 500Vac during 1
minute.
The enclosure must be connected to the potential matching line
If the transmitter is physically connected to a possible source of heating or cooling, e.g. by
mounting to a process pipe or a temperature sensor, the temperature at the point of connection
shall be within the ambient temperature range as given in the certificate or this manual.
Cable entries and blanking elements shall be used that are suitable for the application and correctly
installed.
For installalation in zone 0 / EPL Ga, the transmitter must be installed such, that even in the event
of rare incidents, ignition sources due to impact and friction, sparks are excluded.
Protection degree of IP 54 according to EN 60529 is achieved if certified cable glands or conduit
entry devices are used that are suitable for the application and correctly installed.
Protection degree of IP 68 according to EN 60529 is only achieved if certified cable glands or
conduit entry devices are used that are suitable for the application and correctly installed with
sealing washers or Loctite sealant added to the threads of the sensor, blanking elements and cable
glands.
For group III (dust), electrostatic charging of the paint layer shall be avoided

Explosion proof Installation.
Conduit and sensor connections must be in NPT modified threads.
Only third party certified sensors suitable for “Class I, Division 1 / Zone 1, Groups ABCD / IIC“ may
be connected to the Temperature Transmitter.
For Class I Group A installation and Class I Zone 1 installation, conduit seal is required within 18
inches of enclosure.
For an ambient temperature exceeding 70°C, heat resistant cables and cables suitable for at least
90°C shall be used.
The display cover must be screwed all the way in and the safety catch must be fastened before
putting the module into service.
Do not open / remove front cover unless area is known to be safe.
The remote temperature sensor must comply with the requirements for installation in hazardous
locations “Class I, Division 1 / Zone 1, Groups ABCD / IIC”
The remote temperature sensor must comply with the requirements for Ex d installation
Only certified cable and cable glands shall be used that are suitable for the application and

Unused cable entries must be sealed by the blanking elements supplied with the 7501 or other Ex
certified blanking elements.
If the transmitter is physically connected to a possible source of heating or cooling, e.g. by
mounting to a process pipe or a temperature sensor, the temperature at the point of connection
shall be within the ambient temperature range as given in the certificate.
When the process temperature range exceeds the service temperature range it shall be verified by
on-site temperature measurements, taking the worst case conditions into account, that the service
temperature does not exceed the range of the module.
