1.2 Intended use
These bimetal thermometers are used for measuring temperature in
hazardous areas of industrial applications.
The instrument has been designed and built solely for the intended
use described here, and may only be used accordingly.
Check whether the classication is suitable for the application (see Ex
marking, chapter 1.5 “Labelling, safety marks”). Observe the relevant
national regulations.
The non-observance of the instructions for use in hazardous areas
can lead to the loss of the explosion protection. Adhere to the
following limit values and instructions (see data sheet).
The manufacturer shall not be liable for claims of any type based on
operation contrary to the intended use.
1.3 Responsibility of the operator
The responsibility for classication of zones lies with the plant
operator and not the manufacturer/supplier of the equipment.
1.4 Personnel qualication
The skilled personnel must have knowledge of ignition protection
types, regulations and provisions for equipment in hazardous areas.

DANGER!
Danger to life from missing instrument grounding
With missing or incorrect grounding, there exists a risk of
dangerous voltages (leading to, for example, mechanical
damage, electrostatic charge or induction).
▶Ground thermometer!
Observe the special conditions (see chapter 3 “Special conditions for
use (X conditions)”, point 4).

3. Special conditions for use (X conditions)
1) Design temperatures
Permissible ambient temperature at case:
Temperature ranges
Unlled instrument -40 ...+70 °C
Filled instrument -40 ... +70 °C
Option: low temperature -50 ... +70 °C
Option: POLARgauge®-70 ... +60 °C
Permissible medium temperature: max. end of scale
Observe the surface temperature for ATEX application:
The permissible medium temperature does not only depend on
the instrument design, but also on the ignition temperature of the
surrounding gases, vapours or dust.Take both aspects into account.
2) Maximum surface temperature
The surface temperature mainly depends on the medium and
ambient temperature. The instrument itself does not contain any
heating sources. For prevention, consider the maximum medium
temperature as maximum surface temperature, if it is not possible
to determine the real surface temperature even in the case of
expected malfunctions.

Hazardous dust atmosphere
For dusts, the procedure specied in ISO/IEC 80079-20-2 for
determining the ignition temperature has to be applied.The
ignition temperature is determined separately for dust clouds and
dust layers, respectively. For dust layers, the ignition temperature
depends on the dust layer thickness per EN/IEC 60079-14.
Ignition temperature
of dust
Maximum permissible medium
temperature (in the measuring system)
Dust cloud T
cloud < 2/3 Tcloud
Dust layer Tlayer < Tlayer − 75 K − (reduction depending on the
layer thickness)
The permissible maximum medium temperature must not exceed
the lowest determined value, even in case of a malfunction.
Explosive atmosphere consisting of hybrid mixtures
The instruments must not be used in areas in which an
atmosphere consisting of explosive hybrid mixtures (dusts mixed
with gases) can occur.
3) Mount the instrument in such a way that, taking into consideration
the inuence of convection and heat radiation, no deviation above or
below the permissible ambient and medium temperatures can occur.
4) The instruments must be earthed via the process connection.
This is why electrically conductive sealing should be used at
the process connection. Alternatively, take other measures for
grounding. External sources of stray electric currents depend on
end use application and must be assessed by the end user.
5) Avoid handling of materials that react dangerously with the
materials used for the instrument, and substances liable to
spontaneous combustion.
