Protective measures for applications that require EPL Ga or Gb:
Operational friction or impact between equipment parts made of light metals or their alloys (e.g.
aluminium, magnesium, titanium or zirconium) with equipment parts made of iron/steel is not
permitted. Operational friction or impact between two light metals is permitted.
7.1.2 Ex marking
For applications without transmitter (digital displays) requiring instruments of equipment Group II
(potentially explosive gas atmospheres), the following temperature class classification and
ambient temperature ranges apply:

1) The values in brackets apply to special designs. These sensors are manufactured using special sealing com-
pounds. Moreover, they feature housings made of stainless steel and cable glands for low-temperature ranges
When there is a built-in transmitter and/or a digital display, the special conditions from the type
examination certificate (see item 17) apply.
