Common Questions

What does Ex i certification mean for my application?
This sensor is intrinsically safe for explosive atmospheres. It can be used in areas with flammable gases or dusts without ignition risk.

How does the temperature rating compare to standard models?
The transducer and cable can withstand up to 195°C in Ex zones, which is higher than the standard version's rating.

What maintenance is required for long-term operation?
Regular visual inspection of the cable and connector is recommended. Check for any physical damage during routine maintenance shutdowns.

Can this sensor be used in underwater applications?
The IP68 rating allows continuous immersion in water. However, the Ex certification may have specific installation requirements for submerged use.

What signal conditioner is needed for proper operation?
An IQS900 series signal conditioner is required to power the sensor and process the output signal for your monitoring system.
