Connection in hazardous locations
The MC2 sensors are ex certified products (increased safety) up to 60 V.
This means that:
● All secondary circuits/terminals can be considered as limited circuits with non-hazardous voltage of max. 60 V.
With no further approvals, the standard MC2sensor can be connected to standard transmitters as shown in
Overview of location and interconnection of transmitter and
● Equipment connected to the signal outputs (current, pulse etc) must however obtain the same high degree of isolation
from mains supply as the transmitters (Class 2 transformer or Class 1)
WARNING
Use in hazardous locations
Special requirements apply for the power supply, input and output signals and ground connections.
Note
In compliance with the EMC-standard / low voltage guideline, the terminal box, in addition to the meter tube of the flow
sensor, must be grounded. To make this connection, use the supplied green/yellow cable:
Cut the enclosed cable lug to the shortest required length
•
Crimp the matching cable lug onto the cable
•
Join both ends and make sure both screws are securely fastened
•
Explosion proof instruments should fundamentally be integrated into equipotential bonding.
