WARNING: HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENT
Risk of explosive atmosphere!
A potentially explosive atmosphere occurs where
there is a combination of flammable substances and
oxygen. Oxygen is usually present as a component in
the ambient air, which is why the warning of potential
explosion hazards must be considered very seriously.
Prevent corrosion and failure by checking that all
components are compatible as described in the
installation instructions.
Do not connect or disconnect the equipment when
energized unless the area is known to be non-
explosive.
Important:
The sensor must not be modified in any way.
Otherwise the ATEX, IECEx and all other Ex
approvals will become invalid.
Substitution of components may impair suitability for
hazardous area.
Explosion Hazard. Do not connect or disconnect
when energized unless the area is free of ignitible
concentrations.
All Ex-relevant specifications have been adopted from
the EU type examination and Ex-certificates in these
operating instructions.
The special conditions for installation in hazardous
areas must be observed in particular!
If required, the Ex certificates can be ordered at the
manufacturer.
The IECEx certificate can be viewed online at
www.iecex.com

4. Operation
For proper operation it is necessary to first determine
whether the sensor is installed in a potentially explosive
atmosphere.
4.1 General instructions for operation
The following instructions regarding the installation
and operation must be followed:
The sensor is hermetically sealed. The
integral cable meets ingress protection ≥IP50
and must be protected against adverse
environmental effects where necessary.
The sensor may only be used for its intended
purpose. Any violation will waive all
warranties
and responsibilities of the
manufacturer.
IP degree has to be maintained.
The sensors may only be used within the
specifications listed in the sensor’s data sheet
and operating instructions.
4.1.1 Ground isolated measuring chain
For measurements of very small pressure fluctuations
and in environments with electromagnetic interference, it
is recommended to operate the measurement chain
completely ground isolated.
This requires a differential charge amplifier. Depending
on the required application, Kistler recommends the
differential charge amplifier Type 5183 (Ex ia) of Type
8185 (Ex nA).
Measuring chain examples are shown in Kistler
document No. 960-201.
4.2 Application in non-hazardous areas
4.2.1 Sensor execution

4.3.1 Instructions for application in hazardous areas
In addition to the general instructions for proper
operation under 4.1 and Ex approvals 2.5, the
following instructions must also be followed when
installing and commissioning in hazardous areas:
The sensor may be used in constantly, long-
term or frequently hazardous locations. Prior
to installation, the installation site and its
potential explosion hazard must be assessed
and the suitability of the sensors determined.
The provisions of EN 60079-10 / EN 60079-
14 or the corresponding local regulations
must be met during installation and commis-
sioning of the sensor in hazardous locations.
The operation of the sensor should be carried
out by specially trained personnel.
Installation of intrinsic safety circuits must be
conducted by qualified and authorized
personnel only and in accordance with the
instructions of the contractor.
All electrical connections must be properly
connected. The input ratings are safety limit
values which must not be exceeded.
No modifications are permitted on any equip-
ment that is certified for use in hazardous
areas.

5. Installation
The quality of the threaded holes as well as the
installation according to the instructions are essential to
assure proper performance of the sensor within the given
specification.
5.1 Mounting bore
An uneven contact surface significantly reduces the
accuracy of the frequency bandwith.
For the version with ARINC footprint (8209A_1C_J_)
prepare the mounting bores according to Figure 5.
For the version with the square footprint (8209A_2C_J_)
prepare the mounting bores according to Figure 6.

5.3 Cable handling and fixation
5.3.1 Mineral Insulated hardline cable
The integral cable is a mineral insulated, high
temperature hardline cable. For the installation the cable
can be bent as needed. Please make sure that:
The minimal bending radius is not smaller than 16 mm
Be sure that the cable is not bent more than 10 times
In case of a damaged hardline cable the sensor must be
returned to Kistler.
5.3.2 Cable fixation
The signal from the sensor to the differential charge
amplifier is in form of charge. The hardline cable and
softline cable should be fastened in such a way as to
minimize cable vibration and thus minimize any
triboelectric effects.
Fixation accessories are optionally available.
