7.1 General
To ensure intrinsic safety, it is not permitted to repair or to modify the electronic transmitter and the limit switch-
es.
The RAKD with electronic transmitter type "E" as well the limit switches (option /K
) are intrinsically safe devices.
The RAKD with option /KS1 is ATEX certified for hazardous areas of zone 1 (category 2) and zone 2 (category
3). It is not homologated for zone 0 areas (category 1) (option /KS1 for category 2 and 3, option /KS3 only for
category 3G). The classification in brackets is given according to the EU Directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX).
The limit switches, but not the electronic transmitter, are ATEX dust proof certified (option /KS2).
The RAKD with option /KS1, /ES1, /NS1, /GS1 or /US1 is certified for use in hazardous areas of EPL Gb (zone 1
and 2).
The RAKD with option /KS3 is for use in hazardous areas of EPL Gc (zone 2).
The limit switches with option /FS1 are FM- certified for USA for hazardous classified locations Class I, Division
1, Groups A, B, C, D.
The RAKD with option /NS1 is NEPSI- certified.
The RAKD with option /US1 is INMETRO- certified.
The RAKD with option /GS1 is EAC-Ex certified.
The RAKD must be connected to an intrinsically safe, certified power supply with a maximum voltage and
output power below the maximum values of the RAKD. The combined internal inductance and capacity of the
RAKD and connecting cables must be less than the permitted external inductance and capacity of the power
supply. Accordingly, the limit switches and the pulse output have to be connected to intrinsically safe, certified
isolating switching amplifiers. The relevant maximum safety values must be heeded at all times. Power supply
and transmitter relay are assigned devices and should be installed outside any hazardous zone.
Especially in the case of high fluid temperatures, heated metering tubes or heat radiation by heat tracing, make
sure that the temperature in the indicator housing does not exceed the permissible maximum ambient
temperature of the transmitter (refer to General Specifications (GS) GS01R01B30-00E-E.
To ensure intrinsic safety, it is not permitted to repair or modify the measuring transmitter.
WARNING
Electrostatic charge on painted or other non- metallic surfaces may cause an explosion hazard.
Avoid any actions that cause the generation of electrostatic charge, such as rubbing with a dry cloth on painted
surface of the indicator.
WARNING
Ignition risks caused by pressure surges, impact or friction must particularly be avoided when light metal
measuring units are used.
