General information for replacements
IMPORTANT ! 
 
The following instructions must be followed carefully, if the IFC 090/…-EEx 
signal converter housing has to be opened respectively closed again! 
 
 
Before opening 
Make absolutely sure there is no explosion hazard! 
If necessary provide a ”Gas-free certificate” ! 
Make sure that all connecting cables are safely isolated from the power supply ! 
 
When the instructions above are strictly followed, the cover (with glass window) of the electronics 
compartment may be removed. First unscrew the recessed head screw of the interlocking device 
by a hollow-head screw wrench size 3, until the cover can rotate freely. Unscrew the cover with 
the special plastic wrench (black) that is supplied with the apparatus. 
 
After opening 
The copper ground strip at the back of the electronics unit must be securely screwed to the 
housing (back-end of electronics compartment) by screw SE (see figure below). The electronics 
unit is screwed into the electronics compartment by two screws D. Before screws SE and D can 
be accessed, the display unit must be removed via screws A. 
Before the cover is screwed back into the housing, the screw-thread must be clean and well-
greased with an acid and resin-free grease, e.g. silicone grease. 
Screw the cover as tight as possible into the housing by hand, until it cannot be opened by hand 
anymore. Screw the recessed head screw of the interlocking device tight.
