which can cause death.

▶

Only carry out set-up work in non-hazardous environments!

▶

Do not open the instrument while under voltage.

DANGER!

Danger to life from explosion

By using a measuring insert without a suitable connection head (case), an

explosion risk occurs which can cause fatalities.

▶

Only use the measuring insert in the connection head designed for it.

DANGER!

Danger to life due to loss of explosion protection

If the allowable thread gaps and the corresponding tightening torques are not

observed, this can lead to a loss of the explosion protection.

▶

Ensure the number of engaged threads in accordance with chapter

3.9 and the tightening torques in accordance with chapter 2.5

(OI_14064370_TR12_TC12).

Observe the special conditions (see chapter 4 “Special conditions for use (X conditions)”).

3.1 Mechanical mounting

With pre-assembled connection heads, the direct threaded connection of the thermometer

to the connection head or case must not be twisted or opened. Any alignment of the case

may only be made using the optional “nipple-union-nipple” neck tube.

Certified and listed field cases (variant 3) should only be fitted and installed by a specialist

trained to the latest technological standards.

Removal and installation of the measuring insert

Before opening the instrument, isolate it from any voltage and loosen the locking screw of

the cover (see chapter 5.2). During the replacement of the measuring insert, the surfaces

of the flameproof joint must not be damaged. Scratches, grooves, dents, bumps etc. are

not permissible. The joint lengths and the joint widths of the flameproof joint must not be

changed.

For a detailed description of mounting and dismounting, see chapter 5.1

(OI_14064370_TR12_TC12).

3.2 Locking screw

Always tighten the locking screw to prevent unintended opening

of the head with flameproof enclosure.

Before opening the head, always loosen the locking screw

sufficiently.

3.3 Electrical mounting

■

For the installation of the thermometer, only components (e.g. cables, cable glands,

etc.) permitted for “flameproof enclosure” may be used.

■

Using a transmitter/digital display (option):

- Observe the contents of these operating instructions and those of the transmitter/

digital display (see scope of delivery).

- Observe the relevant regulations for installation and use of electrical systems, and also

the regulations and guidelines for explosion protection.

■

The temperature resistance of the connection lead must match the permissible

operating temperature of the cases. For ambient temperatures above 60 °C,

heat-resistant connection leads must be used.

■

Do not fit any batteries into the flameproof case.

■

No capacitor may be fitted within the flameproof case that has a residual energy of

≥ 0.02 mJ at the end of the time required for opening the case. The case must not be

opened during operation. After the operating voltage has been switched off, a waiting

time of 2 minutes must be observed before opening the case.

■

Mounting within metal vessels:

The case must be grounded against electromagnetic fields and electrostatic charge.

It must not be connected separately to the equipotential bonding system. It is sufficient

if the metal thermowell has a solid and secured contact with the metal vessel or its

structural components or pipelines, so long as these components are connected to the

equipotential bonding system.

■

Mounting within non-metal vessels:

All electrically conductive thermometer components within the hazardous area must be

provided with equipotential bonding.

3.4.1 Variant 1

The thermometer is fitted to a certified enclosure with “flameproof enclosure” ignition

protection type, which has a terminal block built into it. If the thermometer is marked with

II 2G Ex db IIC T1 ... T6 Gb, then it is designed for use in zone 1. If the thermometer is

marked with II 1/2G Ex ia IIC T1 ... T6 Ga/Gb, then it is designed for use with a thermowell

The evaluation is made via a current (4 … 20 mA), voltage (0 … 10 V) or fieldbus signal,

which is generated from a head-mounted transmitter.

Use in zone 1, marking II 2G Ex db IIC T1 ... T6 Gb

The flameproof case or the connection head is in zone 1 (or zone 2). The sensor is in

zone 1.

Use at the partition to zone 0, marking II 1/2G Ex db IIC T1 ... T6 Ga/Gb

The flameproof case or the connection head is in zone 1 (or zone 2). The sensor is within a

thermowell (min. wall thickness 1 mm) which extends into zone 0 via a process connection.

The thermometer should be operated with a power-limiting circuit.

U

max

A power supply with Ex ia circuitry fulfils these conditions, but is not required if the limits

can be achieved through other measures. The responsibility rests with the operator.

WIKA recommends realising the power limitation through a suitable fuse in the 4 ... 20 mA

circuit of the head-mounted transmitter. In the event of a failure of the head-mounted

transmitter, the circuit will be interrupted through the fuse tripping.

Example for calculating the fuse for a maximum power at the sensor of 0.8 W:

The internal resistance of thermocouples is significantly lower than the thermal resistance

of a Pt100 sensor, so the much less favourable case for a resistance thermometer has

been calculated.

P

max

= (1.7 x I

)² x Rw

s

= Fuse rating

P

max

= maximum power at sensor = 0.8 W

R

w

= Resistance of the sensor (temperature-dependent)

at 450 °C = 264.18 Ω in accordance with DIN EN 60751 for Pt100

EN

14280101.01 03/2019 EN/DE/FR/ES

WIKA additional information TR12/TC12, flameproof enclosure (Ex d)12

This results in the following fuse rating:

I

s

= sqrt (P

max

/ R

w

) / 1.7

I

s

= sqrt (0.8 W / 265 Ω) / 1.7

I

s

= 32.32 mA

This results in a rated current for a fuse link = 32 mA

Notes for fuse calculation:

The next smallest fuse value, in accordance with IEC 60127, must always be chosen. The

breaking capacity must be matched, by sensible engineering, to the voltage supply. Usual

values for such fuse links lie between AC 20 A and AC 80 A rated breaking capacity.

For a maximum power at the sensor of 0.5 W the following value is given:

I

s

= sqrt (0.5 W / 265 Ω) / 1.7

I

s

= 25.55 mA

This results in a rated current for a fuse link = 25 mA

When using multiple sensors and simultaneous operation, the sum of the individual powers

must not exceed the value of the maximum permissible power.

Internal resistance of Ø 6 mm TC measuring inserts: approx. 1.2 Ω/m

Internal resistance of Ø 3 mm TC measuring inserts: approx. 5.6 Ω/m

These measured values are valid for room temperature.

For all WIKA connection heads with built-in WIKA temperature transmitters, the

following interrelation is valid:

The temperature increase on the surface of the connection head or case is less than 25 K

if the following conditions are observed: Power supply U

B

maximum DC 30 V when the

transmitter is operated in a current limitation of 22.5 mA.

A heating in the connection head can occur with variant 2 through faulty electronics. The

permissible ambient temperatures depend on the case used and any additionally fitted

head-mounted transmitter.

However, an impermissible heat reflux from the process which can exceed the operating

temperature of the case or the temperature class, must be prevented through suitable heat

insulation or a suitably long neck tube.

Only field transmitters listed by name in the Appendix of the Ex d certificate may be used.

Use in zone 1, marking II 2G Ex db IIC Gb

The flameproof case or the connection head is in zone 1 (or zone 2). The sensor is in

zone 1. In the case of a separation of Ex zones, a thermowell (from corrosion-resistant

steel, min. wall thickness 1 mm) must be used.

The main marking for models TR12-B and TC12-B are found on the certified connection

housing or Ex d field transmitter. The TR12-M and TC12-M modules are marked through a

foil plate on the neck tube.

For a possible use at the partition to zone 0 with a thermowell, the approvals and

conditions of the relevant Ex d field transmitters must be followed.

3.6 Temperature class classification, ambient temperatures

The permissible ambient temperatures depend on the temperature class, the cases used

and the optional built-in transmitter and/or digital display.

When a thermometer is connected to a transmitter and/or a digital display, the lowest value

of either the ambient temperature limits or the highest temperature class will apply. The

lower temperature limit is -40 °C; and -50 °C for special designs.

Where there are neither transmitters nor digital displays mounted within the case, there will

also be no additional warming. With a built-in transmitter (optionally with digital display),

heating caused by operating the transmitter or digital display may occur.

For applications without transmitters (digital displays) requiring instruments of equipment

group II (potentially explosive gas atmospheres), the following temperature class

classification and ambient temperature ranges apply:

4. Special conditions for use (X conditions)

1)

The certified flameproof thermometers model Tx12 should only be fitted to cases certified

with a “flameproof enclosure” ignition protection type. The certified cases to be used

can be found in the Appendix “WIKA ATEX Ex d case and instrument listings” (article

number: 14011281.07)

2)When using thermometers in zone 0, an additional thermowell (made of corrosion-

resistant steel, wall thickness min. 1 mm) must isolate the thermometer from the medium

to be measured and a fuse must be connected upstream in the supply as power-limiting

measure. Perform dimensioning of the fuse as a function of the temperature class,

process temperature and the power supply (for calculation examples, see chapter 5).

3)An inadmissible heat reflux from the process must be prevented, for example, by heat

insulation or an extended neck tube. An inadmissible heat reflux occurs when the heat

input from the process exceeds the operating temperature of the case or the temperature

class.

4)The joint lengths of the flameproof joint of this equipment are sometimes longer and

the joint widths of the flameproof joint are sometimes smaller than required in Table 3 of

EN 60079-1:2014.

5)The requirements/conditions or instructions for use listed in the certificates of each

5. Calculation examples for self-heating at the thermowell tip

The self-heating at the thermowell tip depends upon the sensor type (TC/RTD), the

measuring insert diameter and the thermowell design. The table below shows the possible

combinations. The heating at the probe tip of the bare measuring insert is clearly higher;

the representation of these values was omitted on the grounds of the required assembly

with a thermowell.

The table shows that thermocouples generate much less self-heating than resistance

thermometers.

is obtained by adding the temperature of the medium and the self-heating. The

self-heating depends on the supplied power P

only realised at the probe tip.

As a safety margin for type-tested instruments (for T6 to T3), an additional 5 °C must be

subtracted from the 200 °C; hence 195 °C would be permissible. This means that in this

case temperature class T3 is not exceeded.

5.2 Example calculation for variant 2 with TC sensor

Under the same conditions it gives a lower value for the self-heating, since the supplied

power is not only converted at the probe tip, but rather over the entire length of the

measuring insert.

Thermal resistance [R

th

in K/W] from table = 3 K/W

Self-heating: 0.8 W * 1 K/W = 0.8 K

T

max

= T

M

+ self-heating: 150 °C + 0.8 K = 150.8 °C

As a safety margin for type-tested instruments (for T6 to T3), an additional 5 °C must be

subtracted from the 200 °C; hence 195 °C would be permissible. This means that in this

case temperature class T3 is not exceeded.

In this example it is clear that the self-heating here is almost negligible.
