2.4 Intended use
The equipment is used for the detection of angular movements as well as the pro-
cessing of the measurement data for a downstream control through industrial pro-
cess- and control procedures.
The equipment is a fixed-installation device and may only be used in potentially ex-
plosive areas for
Gases (G) within the Ex-Zones 1 and 2
Dust (D) within the Ex-Zones 21 and 22:

The assembly takes place through the established attachment possibilities. The elec-
trical data provided on the nameplate, as well as the device category, temperature
class, IP protection class, speed etc. for the place of use are to be observed.
The operating temperature range of the equipment has been divided into the ranges
-40°C / -20°C
…+40 °C / +50 °C / +60 °C / +75 °C
The maximum temperature depends on
the temperature class (Gas: T4 / T5 / T6; Dust: T130°C / T95°C / T80°C)
the IP protection class (IP65 / IP67)
the material of the explosion protection enclosure (aluminum / stainless steel)
the speed (3000 min
-1
/ 6000 min
-1
)
and the power class (3 W / 6 W)
A corresponding classification for each type is shown in chapter 6 from page 26 on-
wards, a compact table overview is presented in the type-examination certificate, see
chapter 9.1 on page 37.
The actual operating temperature range for the equipment must therefore be taken
from the nameplate.
Intended use also includes:
observation of all instructions contained in the other applicable documents,
observation of the nameplate, type examination certificate, certificate of conformi-
ty (IECEx CoC) and possible prohibition- or instruction labels on the equipment,
observation of the enclosed documents,
operating of the equipment within the limits indicated in the technical data.
