3 Mounting
3.1 General mounting instructions
Mounting: snaps onto standard DIN rails to EN 60715.
Snap the bottom of the enclosure slightly tilted forwards in the DIN
rail and push up until it latches in position.
3.2 Mounting of the sensors
The installation of the intrinsically safe current circuits must be executed
in accordance with the applicable standards EN 60079-14 or EN 61241-14.
According to EN 60079-11, the following must be observed
for the installation: a distance of ≥ 6 mm must be observed
between the terminals of the intrinsically safe current circuits
and other intrinsically safe current circuits. Between the
terminals of the intrinsically safe current circuits and other,
non-intrinsically safe current circuits, a distance of ≥ 50 mm
must be observed.
The commissioning and installation are to be executed by
qualified professionals only.
3.3 Installation in Zone 2: particular conditions
• The devices must be installed in control or junction boxes, which meet
the requirements to EN 60079-15 and have at least protection class
IP 54 (Fig. 1). To respect temperature class T5, the device must have
a free volume of at least 2,400 cm
3
.
• Please make sure that you have read and understood these operating
instructions and that you know all applicable legislations regarding
occupational safety and accident prevention prior to installation and
putting the component into operation.
• The intrinsically safe current circuits of the device (light blue terminals)
may be lead in explosion-endangered areas. In this case, it must be
especially observed that they are safely separated from all non-intrin-
sically safe current circuits.
• The connection and separation of the connections of
non-intrinsically safe current circuits is not authorised
in explosion-endangered atmospheres.
• Only use a damp cloth to clean the enclosure.
• The lifetime of the safety-monitoring related to the ignition
protection class "nC" is at least 15 years.
Upon expiration
of this time, the safety-monitoring module must be repla-
ced either returned to the manufacturer for check-up!
The temperature specifications (–25°C ≤ Ta ≤ +60°C) of
the safety-monitoring module are related to a volume of the
control cabinet of at least approx. 2,400 cm
3
for each SRB.
The distance with regard to other safety-monitoring module
imperatively must be at least approx. 5 cm.
