Schedule

EQUIPMENT:
Equipment and systems covered by this certificate are as follows:

A type IFC 300 F signal converter is intended for feeding the coil circuit of an electromagnetic flow meters and for amplifying and
processing the voltage induced over the electrodes of electromagnetic flow meters.
A type MH300-Ex body housing of casted aluminium or stainless steel is separately certified in type of Ex-protection „Ex d e [ia] IIC”
and can be screwed on an L-shapped support or bracket of casted aluminium or casted stainless steel. In the body housing is situated
connection box equipped with terminal in type of Ex-protection „Ex e II“ and line-bushing in type of Ex-protection „Ex d II“. Within
housing is situated electronic unit type IFC 300 in type of Ex-protection “[Ex ia] IIC”.  Within L-shapped support or bracket is situated
terminal for intrinsically safe circuits and terminal in type of Ex-protection “Ex e II“ for connection of flow meter. Terminals are soldered
on the PCB. All entries are provided by cable glands in type of Ex-protection “Ex e II”. Body housing area and L-shapped
support/bracket area are separated by flameproof cable feed- through in type of Ex-protection “Ex d e IIC”.

SPECIFIC CONDITIONS OF USE: YES as shown below:

1) Tamb: -40°C to +65°C

2) For information on the dimensions of the flameproof joints the manufacturer shall be contacted.

3) The fasteners for the primary head shall be property class A2-70 or A4-70.

4) To avoid the risk of ignition as a result of electrostatic charging, the IFC300F housing can not be used in locations in which:
- High charge generating processes,
- Mechanical friction and separation processes,
- Electron emission (e.g. near electrostatic coating equipment) may occur.
