Safety Information

The following information must be observed when using sensors of type GEL 2478_Z with ATEX certificate in explosion-hazardous areas.

The maximum electrical and mechanical limiting values given in the technical data may not be exceeded. The following safety parameters apply to the GEL 2478 sensor:

Safety information for speed sensor gel 2478 - Lenord & Bauer Rail Speed Sensors and Rotary Pulse Encoders

The rail sensor may be operated only within the specified operational temperature range, namely -40°C.. .+ 85°C. The cables between the power inlet and the GEL 2478 sensor and between the sensor and the external evaluation unit may not exceed the specified maximum length. Connection and installation of the safety barriers may be carried out only by certificated personnel; installation of modules relevant to explosion hazards may be carried out only by authorised expert technicians. The cables and housing of the GEL 2478 sensor must be undamaged: in the event that these elements are damaged then the unit may not be installed.


Type-examination:

EC type-examination certificate BVS 07 ATEX E 030 for sensor type GEL 2478_Z dated 09.03.2007. The certificate is available on request.


Description of a protective circuit as shown in the example drawing below

The power supply is connected to the 9002/13-280-110-001 safety barrier. This safety barrier limits the current flowing in the EEX circuit to at most 119 mA and the voltage to at most 28 V. The output signals from the GEL 2478 sensor are connected to the 9002/11-120-024-001 safety barrier. In the event of a malfunction, this barrier limits the current to at most 12 mA and the voltage to at most 12 V. The 9002/11-120-024-001 safety barrier routes each of the output signals to a DEK 0E 5DC/ 24CD/1 00 kHz optocoupler. These optocouplers serve to convert the output signals back to a range that can be evaluated by the SPS.
