2 Notes about operation in potentially explosive
areas
2.1 Special conditions
WARNING
Observe the special conditions for the intended use of Beckhoff fieldbus
components in potentially explosive areas (directive 94/9/EU)!
The certified components are to be installed in a suitable housing that
guarantees a protection class of at least IP54 in accordance with EN 60529!
The environmental conditions during use are thereby to be taken into account!
If the temperatures during rated operation are higher than 70 °C at the feed-in
points of cables, lines or pipes, or higher than 80°C at the wire branching
points, then cables must be selected whose temperature data correspond to
the actual measured temperature values!
Observe
the permissible ambient temperature range of 0 - 55°C for the use of
Beckhoff fieldbus components in potentially explosive areas!
Measures must be taken to protect against the rated operating voltage being
exceeded by more than 40% due to short-term interference voltages!
The individual terminals may only be unplugged or removed from the Bus
Terminal system if the supply voltage has been switched off or if a non-
explosive atmosphere is ensured!
The connections of the certified components may only be connected or
disconnected if the supply voltage has been switched off or if a non-explosive
atmosphere is ensured!
The fuses of the KL92xx power feed terminals may only be exchanged if the
supply voltage has been switched off or if a non-explosive atmosphere is
ensured!
Address selectors and ID switches may only be adjusted if the supply voltage
has been switched off or if a non-explosive atmosphere is ensured!
The optional audio interface CX50x0-N020 may not be used in EX
environment!
The certified components must be used the modification CX1900-0105. The
modification involves the relocation of the type plate and a mounting bracket to
ensure the fixing of the cables from the USB ports. Both modifications are
factory-provided.
The fundamental health and safety requirements are fulfilled by compliance with the following standards:
EN 60079-0:2012 + A11:2013
EN 60079-15:2010
