Notes for Intrinsically Safe Applications
Specifying Sensors for Ex ia/Ex ib Circuits
All thermocouple and RTD sensors shown in this catalogue are suitable for Safe Area Hazardous Area
use in intrinsically safe (IS) applications when used with an appropriate
barrier. The full classification is Ex II 1 GD Ex ia IIC Ga/IIIC Da for pot seal Controller 4~20mA TC
and Stainless Steel head terminations. Where Aluminum terminal heads are Recorder Transmitter
used, the classification is Ex II 2 GD Ex ib IIC Gb/IIIC Db. The mineral PLC ZENER (Optional)
insulated construction gives suitable insulation resistance (minimum 1000 BARRIER RTD

M Ω) to guarantee conformance. Extension leads can be supplied with blue
outer sheaths upon request.
Example of an IS circuit.
The barrier isolates the signal from the hazardous area and no further
certification of the sensor is necessary.

the application as well as the relevant calibration equipment.
Installation Guidelines:
Stand-Off Length: Our sensors are passive units and are not self-heating. However heat transfer along the sheath shall be considered when positioning the sensor in the
process to maintain the temperature rating of the end seal termination. See value L2 shown on the typical installation diagram. The below table gives guidance for stand-off
length based on the process temperature(1).
T Class: All the sensors and feedthroughs shown on this catalogue can be used with service temperatures up to
1250ºC dependant on the sheath material used. Typically the hazardous area protection concept is applied to the
portion of the assembly outside the process boundary as shown below. When selecting the appropriate sensor
design for your application, overall temperature class shall be determined by either:
(a) determined by process temperature as stated in the table below.
ATEX / IECEx Area
Or (b) The temperature class may be determined by temperature measurement on the actual installation. This
must be performed when no flammable atmosphere is present. The overall temperature class of the assembly 316 SS
shall be established at the point of exit through the boundary wall into the zoned area.To ensure safe use both
