General information ALTOFLUX IFM 4080 / … EEx
This meter complies with the European Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX 100a) and approved for
hazardous classified locations of Zone 1 and 2 under EC-type Examination Certificate number:
KEMA 01 ATEX 2200 X
The compact flowmeter is available in two types, namely:
IFM 4080 K-EEx regular explosion protected version;
IFM 4080 K/i-EEx, MODIS version. This type has intrinsically safe signal output circuits, which are
provided by two on the IFC 090i-EEx electronics unit installed MODIS modules.
The regular IFM 4080 K-EEx compact flowmeter is designed for ambient temperatures (T
a
) in the
range of -20
°
C (special -40°C) up to +60°C, the MODIS version type IFM 4080 K/i-EEx is rated for
ambient temperatures from -20°C up to +60°C.
The allowed process liquid temperature is limited by the maximum occuring surface temperature
of system components in the combustible atmosphere that (possibly) surrounds the apparatus,
determined by the temperature class of the atmosphere (first column of the tables). See table 1
and 2 below for details.
For dusts the second column of the two below listed tables is applicable.

The IFM 4080 K / … EEx flowmeter consists of the IFC 090/…-EEx signal converter unit, which is
screwed on top of the prim ary head (i.e. measuring unit).
The compact flowmeter is marked with one of the codes below, depending on the meter size:
DN25-150
II 2GD EEx d [ib] IIC T6…T3 (EEx d terminal compartment) or
II 2GD EEx de [ib] IIC T6…T3 (EEx e terminal compartment).
DN200 and up
II 2GD EEx de [ib] IIC T6…T3 (both EEx d and EEx e terminal compartment).
In case of the MODIS version IFM 4080 K / i-EEx , the electronics unit of type IFC 090i-EEx is
provided with protective modules, which provide intrinsically safe output signals of category "ia".
The flowmeter is then marked with one of the following codes:
DN25-150
II 2GD EEx d [ia] [ib] IIC T6…T3 (EEx d terminal compartment) or
II 2GD EEx de [ia] [ib] IIC T6…T3 (EEx e terminal compartment)
DN200 and up
II 2GD EEx de [ia] [ib] IIC T6…T3
(both EEx d and EEx e terminal compartment)
