Important. This ATEX Category depends on the application
(see below) and also on the intrinsic safety level of the
transmitter supply (associated apparatus) which can
sometimes suitably be [ib] instead of [ia]. As it is well known,
the level of an intrinsic safety system is determined by the
lowest level of the various apparatus used, i.e., in the case of
[ib] supply, the system takes over this level of protection.
The meaning of ATEX code is as follows:
— II: Group for surface areas (not mines)
— 1/2: Category - It means that only a part of the transmitter
complies with category 1 and a second part complies with
category 2 (see next application sketch).
— G: Gas (dangerous media)
— D: Dust (dangerous media)
— T85°C: Maximum surface temperature of the transmitter
enclosure with a Ta from -50°C to +40°C for Dust (not
Gas) with a dust layer up to 50 mm depth. T85°C: as
before for Dust for a Ta +85°C.

The other marking refers to the protection type used according
to relevant EN standards:
— Ex ia: Intrinsic safety, protection level "a"
— IIC: Gas group
— T4: Temperature class of the transmitter
(corresponding to 135°C max) with a Ta from -50°C to +85°C
— T5: Temperature class of the transmitter
(corresponding to 100°C max) with a Ta from -50°C to +40°C
— T6: Temperature class of the transmitter
(corresponding to 85°C max) with a Ta from -50°C to +40°C
About the applications, this transmitter can be used in Zone "0"
(Gas) classified areas (continuous hazard) with its "process
part" only, whereas the remaining part of the transmitter, i.e. its
enclosure, can be used in Zone 1 (Gas), only (see sketch
below). Reason of this is the process part of the transmitter
(normally called primary transducer) that provides inside
separation elements to seal off the electrical sensor from the
continuously hazardous process, according to the
EN 60079-26 and EN 60079-1. About Dust application, the
transmitter is suitable for "Zone 21" according to the
EN 61241-0 and EN 61241-11 as it is shown on the relevant
part of the sketches.
