Conditions of Certification
The intrinsically safe circuits do not withstand the 500V AC test as specified in
EN 50020 clause 6.4.12.
Probes covered with plastic and/or with plastic discs will have a
non-conducting area that exceeds the maximum permissible area for Group
IIC accoring to IEC 60079-01 clause 7.3: 20 cm
2 for Zone 1 and 4 cm 2 for
Zone 0. Therefore, when the probe is used in a potentially explosive
atmosphere, appropriate measures must be taken to prevent electrostatic
discharge.
Impact and friction hazards need then to be considered according to IEC
60079-0 clause 8.1.2 when the transmitter exposed to the exterior
atmosphere of the tank is made with light metal alloys and used in Zone 0.
