The temperature sensors TR141Ex are designed to meet the requirements of EN 60079-0:2013+A11:2014, EN 60079-7:2016 and EN 60079-31:2014, as amended. Temperature sensors marked on the nameplate with II3G Ex ec IIC T6…T2 Gc and II3D Ex tc IIIC T60°C…230°C DC can be used in potentially explosive environments – Equipment Group II, Zone 2 and Zone 22.
The temperature sensors operate on the principle of defined dependency of the change of property of the sensor and the change of temperature. They are not capable of generating sparks, arcs or high surface temperatures. The temperature range for use in potentially explosive environments is limited by the insulation of the cable used and specifically specified in the operating instructions – the specified measuring range must not be exceeded, even for a brief period. The supply cable may have an outer PVC, silicone or PTFE (Teflon) insulation and may be either shielded or unshielded. According to EN 60 529, as amended, the sensors meet IP 65 in the case of PTFE (Teflon) cable insulation and IP 67 in the case of other supply cables.
