Ex db / Ex tb Temperature sensors

Ex db / Ex tb Temperature sensors

Ex db - flameproof enclosure, for gas zones 1 or 2
Ex tb - dust protection by enclosure, for dust areas.

  • The ATEX and IECEx certified, Ex db type EPIC® SENSORS temperature sensors can be applied in Ex zones 1, 2, 21 and 22.
  • The ATEX marking of the products is: Ex II 2G Ex db IIC T6/T5 Gb, Ex II 2D Ex tb IIIC T80/T95°C Db.
  • The IECEx marking of the products is: Ex db IIC T6/T5 Gb, Ex tb IIIC T80/T95°C Db.
  • The sensor consist of a replaceable Pt100 or TC sensor element, specially adapted for the Ex db construction (a standard construction element is not fit to be used with the Ex db construction), an Ex db grade connection head (made of aluminum or stainless steel) and possibly a temperature transmitter (types e.g. PR5331A, PR5332A, PR5335A, PR5337A, PR5350A, PR5437A, PR5331D, PR5332D, PR5335D, PR5337D, PR5350B, 5437D and many other types of transmitters). The enclosure is dust protected (Ex tb).
  • The measuring circuit can be cabled to a safe area and to a standard device (no ATEX/IECEx requirements)
  • An Ex db product will be delivered with a datasheet including: dimensional drawing, maximum temperature reference, material data and connection data. A datasheet without a signature is not a valid document. A valid, signed document and a declaration of conformity will be delivered along with a approved sensor.

ATEX

  • Lapp Automaatio Oy has been granted a ATEX Quality Assurance Notification (EESF 18 ATEX Q 006) as required under EU directive 2014/34/EU. The notification, issued by Eurofins Expert Services Oy*, gives the right to produce temperature sensors with the protection concepts Ex d, Ex e, Ex i, Ex m and Ex t, for use in explosive atmospheres. Please find a copy of the quality certificate below.
  • When certified sensor types are needed, we will assemble sensors marked Ex II 2G Ex db IIC T6/T5 Gb, Ex II 2D Ex tb IIIC T80/T95°C Db, according to the product certificate EESF 18 ATEX 052X. Please find a copy of the product certificate below.

IECEx

  • Lapp Automaatio Oy's sensor manufacturing operations have been assessed in an IECEx Quality Assessment Report (FI/EESF/QAR18.0004) as required by the EN ISO/IEC 80079-34 standard. The auditing organization was Eurofins Expert Services Oy*. The report gives the right to manufacture Ex e, Ex t, Ex d, Ex m and Ex i type temperature sensors for use in explosive atmospheres and to apply for IECEx approval for them. Please find a link to the IECEx QAR report below.
  • When IECEx product certified sensor types are needed, we will assemble sensors marked Ex db IIC T6/T5 Gb, Ex tb IIIC T80/T95°C Db, according to the product certificate IECEx EESF 20.0034X. Please find a copy of the product certificate below.

*NOTE! Name since 1.4.2022 is: Eurofins Electric & Electronics Finland Oy 

EAC

  • Our Ex sensors are also approved for use in Euro Asian Customs Union area (EAC; Russian Federation, Belarus and Kazakhstan), according to the EAC certificate EAEHS_RU_C-FI.AA71.B.00130-19. Please find a copy of the certificate below.
