For the error analysis acc. to DIN EN 60079-ff. the permissible electrical values must be
considered carefully. The maximum permissible ambient temperatures must be calculated and
ensured under consideration of the self-heating.
The equipment operators must ensure that these values will not be exceeded.
5. Connecting wires
The supply lines of the sensors are color-coded according to the color code and type of circuit related
to the used resistance sensor (see 9.1 circuit and labeling of connecting wires).
The connector ends have to be attached to suitable clamps only.
The sensor supply lines (connecting wires) may only be connected to power supply units suitable and
approved for passive resistance sensors / thermocouples according to the corresponding standards.
The power supply must have a connection adequate to the thermometer’s type of circuit (2-, 3- or 4-
wire-circuit).
The electrical performance data have to be observed (see 6. Technical data)
The sensor signal for the resistance sensor version and the thermistor version has no polarity. The
color code of the supply line is used only for the identification of sensor and circuit!
The sensor signal for the thermocouple version and KTY-sensor version has polarity. For the
thermocouples the plus- and minus pole are color coded according the valid standard. The KTY is
color coded.
The connecting cables must be laid straight and without loops.
It is not allowed to connect, install or apply the PR-SPA-EX-NWT sensor in another way than
described under item 4 and 5.
Constructions with plugs are generally available with Ex i ignition protection. The operating
temperatures and the electrical values of the each plug must be considered.
