according to IEC and TIIS are also available
● Sensor types CD 6 and CD 6C are compliant with the pressure equipment directive
Note
The sensors are described in detail in separate manuals which is part of their delivery.
ATEX sensors
The sensors are also available in an ATEX version - see also separate user manual. These
have very low power electronics and are intrinsically safe. For use in areas with potentially
explosive atmosphere a barrier box must be installed additionally.
For further information regarding the ATEX option please refer to the separate ATEX manual
for LDS 6.
Parts in contact with the process gases
The sensors normally do not come into contact with the process gas, since purging with a
gaseous media is applied at the process side. Stainless steel purging gas tubes in front of
the sensor windows immerse slightly into the process gas and thus limit the purging volume.
Special materials such as Hastelloy, plastics (PP) and ceramics are available on request.
