Due to the small size of the sensor, the ATEX identification is located on a cable
flag.
Danger of an ignition source due to impermissible operating conditions,
connections, and parameters!
Operating the sensor under impermissible operating conditions can result in
an explosion.
1. Observe the permissible operating conditions, in particular the ambient
temperature and the mechanical protection for the device.
2. The ATEX sensor is only intended for complete installation in suitable T-
slots.
3. Note the limited temperature range for ATEX conditions.
4. Do not disconnect the plug connectors and the connecting cable from the
sensor if it is under voltage.
5. Only use approved M8 and M12 connecting cables approved by AVENTICS.
6. Observe the relevant Ex guidelines for installation, maintenance, and re-
pair, especially EN 60079-14.
The device will lose its Ex approval if these instructions are not complied with!
