The sensor together with housing or connection head is located in Zone 0 (Zone 20). An Ex ia
type circuit must be used. Connection heads/cases made of aluminium are not permitted in
zone 0. At this position, WIKA uses connection heads/cases made of stainless steel.
7.4.2 Possible installation methods with the marking II 1/2 Ex ib IIC T6 Ga/Gb or
II 1/2 D Ex ib IIIC T65 °C Da/Db
The sensor or thermowell tip protrudes into Zone 0. The housing or connection head is in Zone 1
(Zone 21) or Zone 2 (Zone 22). It is sufficient to use an Ex ib type circuit.
Zone separation is guaranteed if sufficiently-tight (IP 67) process connections are used.
Examples of suitable process connections include gas-tight standardised industrial flanges,
threaded connections or pipe connections.
The welded parts, process connections, compression fittings, thermowells or housings used
must be designed such that they withstand all influencing variables resulting from the process,
such as temperature, flow forces, pressure, corrosion, vibration and impacts.
