In Ex applications only one instrument and one electronics module

with respective Ex approval may be used.
If there is no electronics module available on site, the electronics

module can be ordered through the agency serving you. The electron-

ics modules are adapted to the respective sensor and differ in signal

output or voltage supply.
The new electronics module must be loaded with the default settings

of the sensor. These are the options:

In the factory

Or on site by the user

In both cases, the serial number of the sensor is needed. The serial

numbers are stated on the type label of the instrument, on the inside

of the housing as well as on the delivery note.
When loading on site, first of all the order data must be downloaded

from the Internet (see operating instructions manual "Electronics

module").
