Ambient temperature range

Ambient temperature range dependent on the gasket:
Gasket 1 (D0075) -60 °C to +100 °C
Gasket 2 (D00121) -20 °C to +60 °C

Ingress protection according to IEC 60079-0, IEC 60079-7 and IEC 60079-31: depends on
the assembled Ex components or Ex equipments

The rated values are maximum values, the actual electrical values depend on the electrical
equipment incorporated. Within the scope of these maximum permissible values and with
due regard to the standards, the manufacturer specifies the final rated values dependent on
the system conditions, mode of operation, utilization category, etc. The characteristic values
of the intrinsically safe circuits are to be given by the manufacturer on his own responsibility.

The maximum permissible ambient temperature range of the terminal enclosure can be lim-
ited by the maximum permissible service temperature ranges of the separately certified com-
ponents.

The composition of the type of protection marking will be based on the types of protection of
components actually used.

Notes for manufacturing and operation

Components attached or installed have to be of a technical standard that complies with the
specifications on the cover sheet. They must be suited for the operating conditions and have
a separate examination certificate. The special conditions specified for the components must
be complied with and may have to be included in the type test. This also applies to compo-
nents already specified in the technical description.
The maximum number of conductors per enclosure size depending on the cross-section and
the permissible continuous current can be found in the supplementary sheets.
The maximum number of terminal blocks is specified in the supplementary sheets using a
calculation program.
In order to ensure the ingress protection IP, the cover of the empty enclosure, the flange en-
closure, the sealing frame and other Ex-components must be properly installed and with the
appropriate torque.
When additionally equipped with isolating terminals and fuses, the temperature class is de-
termined depending on the self-heating at the rated thermal current and the ambient temper-
ature.
Equipment of the type of protection intrinsic safety “i” is to be installed in such a way that the
distances, creepage distances and clearances between intrinsically safe circuits and non-
intrinsically safe circuits comply with the requirements of IEC 60079-11.
When more than one intrinsically safe circuit is used, the rules for interconnection are to be
observed.
When components are installed into the empty enclosure, clearance and creepage distances
specified in the standard IEC 60079-7 and IEC 60079-11 shall duly be complied with.
The Terminal box with a coating of polyester powder must not be used in areas affected by
charge-producing processes, mechanical friction and separation processes, electron emis-
sion (e.g. in the vicinity of electrostatic coating equipment), and pneumatically conveyed
dust.
