Intrinsically safe equipment is defined as “equipment which
is incapable of releasing sufficient electrical or thermal
energy under normal or abnormal conditions to cause
ignition of a specific hazardous atmosphere mixture in its
most easily ignited concentration.”
ATEX approved to
II 1G EEx ia IIC T4 (Ta = -40°C to
+80°C)
Designates the sensor as belonging to; Group II: suitable
for all areas except mining, Category 1 G: can be used in
areas with continuous, long or frequent periods of
exposure to hazardous gas (Zone 0).
Protection class ia, denotes intrinsically safe for all zones
Apparatus group IIC: suitable for IIA to IIC explosive gas.

Ambient temperature range extended to -40°C to +80°C.
Positek intrinsically safe sensors are designed to be used
with a galvanically isolated barrier with safety parameters
not exceeding:-
Ui: 11.4V, Ii: 0.46A, Pi: 0.51W.
Sensor can be installed with a cable length up to 150m
maximum from the barrier, capacitance and inductance
can be up to:-
Capacitance: 550 nF max, Inductance: 99 H max.
For cable lengths exceeding 10 metres a five wire
connection is recommended to eliminate errors introduced
by
cable
resistance
and
associated
temperature
coefficients.
Approved barriers are available from Positek; there is a
choice of 0.5-9.5V or 4-20mA transmission outputs.
0.5-9.5V barrier option - BX002.
4-20mA barrier option - BX003.
ATEX approved sensors suitable for dust (E series) and
mining (M series) applications, are also available from
Positek.
