Electrical assembly
Prior to carry out operations such as assembly, electrical connection, re-
pair work or loosening a plug-in connector, make sure that:
The system is disconnected from the mains.
The system cannot be switched on inadvertently.
The appropriate protection class PELV has to be considered.
The following safety measures must be observed in hazardous
areas:
Check if the device category corresponds to the specified
zones.
Check if the operation approval from the operator is availa-
ble.
Check if there is an explosive atmosphere available.
Compliance with the applicable regulations and the entire rel-
evant documentation for this device.
Operating voltage
The
SS 23.400 ATEX 3
is protected against polarity reversal of the oper-
ating voltage.
It has a nominal voltage range of U
B
= 12 ... 26.4 V
DC
.
Only operate sensor within the defined range of operating voltage
(12 ... 26.4 V
DC
).
Undervoltage may result in malfunction. Overvoltage may lead to
irreversible damage to the sensor.
Specifications for the operating voltage apply for the connection of the
sensor. Voltage drops generated due to line resistances must be consid-
ered by the customer.
The current consumption of the sensor is 35 mA typically, peak current is
150 mA (incl. all signal output currents at their maximum).
