Table 1: Conformance with Standards
The JUMO quality management system to EN ISO 9001 is the basis for conformance with the EU Directive
94/9/EC Annex IV (ATEX). The RTD temperature probes have been developed, manufactured and tested in
accordance with the state of the art and in conformance with the applicable standards and regulations.
5 Technical data, explanation and case study
CAUTION: for specific data, see the attached technical data sheet/detail drawing and/or the label that
is affixed to these operating instructions
5.1 Intrinsically safe connection, Ex “i” protection
The equipment used in areas with an explosion hazard only contains intrinsically safe circuits. A circuit is
intrinsically safe if, both in normal operation and in the event of a fault, a short-circuit in the circuit does not
produce a spark capable of causing ignition, and the current flowing through the equipment does not heat
any part of the surface above the level specified for the temperature class (see also EN 60079-11).
In order for a circuit to be designated as intrinsically safe, every individual device included in the circuit must
be designed to be intrinsically safe. Furthermore, it is necessary to test that the complete circuit of the
(individually) intrinsically safe devices forms, as a whole, an intrinsically safe circuit. The fact that a circuit
is assembled from devices that are (individually) intrinsically safe, does not guarantee that the circuit
as a whole is intrinsically safe.
For a RTD temperature probe the measuring current (or in case of malfunction the residual current) flows
through the sensor element. The result is self-heating of the element and ultimately temperature increase on
the surface area of the protection fitting. It is essential to ensure that the limit of the defined temperature
class is not exceeded.
