1. Ex marking / 2. Safety
For applications without transmitters (digital displays) that require group II instruments
(potentially explosive gas atmospheres), the following temperature class classification and
ambient temperature ranges apply:

2. Safety
2.1 Explanation of symbols
DANGER!
... indicates a potentially dangerous situation in the hazardous area that can
result in serious injury or death, if not avoided.
2.2 Intended use
The thermometers described here are suitable for temperature measurement in zone 2
hazardous areas.
The non-observance of the instructions for use in hazardous areas can lead to the loss
of the explosion protection. Adhere to the following limit values and instructions (see data
sheet).
2.3 Responsibility of the operator
The responsibility for classification of zones lies with the plant operator and not the
manufacturer/supplier of the equipment.
2.4 Personnel qualification
The skilled electrical personnel must have knowledge of ignition protection types,
regulations and provisions for equipment in hazardous areas.
