Temperature class classification, ambient temperatures
A heating in the connection head can occur with built-in transmitter through faulty
electronics. The permissible ambient temperatures depend on the housings used and any
additionally-fitted head-mounted transmitter.
For all WIKA connection heads with built-in WIKA temperature transmitters, the
following interrelation is valid:
The temperature increase on the surface of the connection head or housing is less than
25 K if the following conditions are observed: power supply U
transmitter is operated in a current limit of 22.5 mA.
This yields the following temperature class classification:
Atmosphere
Gas atmosphere
Dust atmosphere
The temperature class is dependent upon the user application and the ambient temperature.
