12. INTRINSICALLY SAFE REFRACTOMETER PR-01-S-AX/FM/CS
References to this chapter in this manual are written in italics.
The Intrinsically Safe Process Refractometer is used in locations made hazardous by the presence of 
flammable mixture of gas and air. EN 50 020, the relevant CENELEC apparatus standard, defines an 
intrinsically safe circuit as: 
“A circuit in which no spark or any thermal effect produced in the test conditions prescribed in this 
standard (which include normal operation and specified fault conditions) is capable of causing 
ignition of a given explosive atmosphere.” 
PR-01-S-AX is certified by KEMA Quality B.V. under the European ATEX directive 94/9/EC for ATEX 
EX II 1 G / Cenelec Eex ia IIC T4. The EC-Type Certificate Number is KEMA 03ATEX 1364X. 
PR-01-S-FM is certified by Factory Mutual Research Corporation, Approval No. 2Y7A7.AX for Class I, 
Division 1, Groups A, B, C, D, indoor hazardous (classified) locations. Temperature identification rating 
for PR-01-S-FM is T4 (T
amb
= 45 °C).
PR-01-S-CS is certified by Canadian Standards Association for Class I, Groups A-D. The Certificate 
Number is LR113053-1. 
Note. Servicing of PR-01-S-AX/FM/CS is only allowed for trained service personnel of K-Patents 
representatives. Servicing must be done according to separate instructions defined by K-Patents and must 
be reported to K-Patents.
