Process pressure for ATEX
The device construction allows process over-pressure up to 0.3bar (4.4psi) (option 1.7bar (25psi)).
These pressures are allowed for test purposes. The definition of the ATEX is only valid for a silo-over-
pressure between -0.2..+0.1 bar (-2.9..+1.45psi).
Outside of these pressures the approval is not valid.
