3.1.3 Special
lock
The sealing covers of terminal compartment and electronics compartment are secured by special
locks. The locking screw requires use of an Allen key (4 mm size).
3.1.4 I/O
functions
The following limit values need to be taken into account when connecting the I/O interfaces of the
BM 70 M-EEx level gauges:

suitable for connection to intrinsically safe Fieldbus systems based on the FISCO Model
The intrinsically safe circuits of the I/O functions are galvanically isolated both from ground and
also from each other (test voltage > 500 VAC).
Furthermore, all intrinsically safe circuits are safety-separated from the non-intrinsically safe
power circuits up to a peak voltage of 375 V.
