connection cable between barrier box and receiver shall not exceed 250 m.
The requirements to IEC/EN 60079-14 must be considered.
Do not use longer cable lengths than necessary for a good signal quality and to prevent excess inductance.
According to IEC/EN 60079-14 intrinsically-safe conductors must only be installed such that neither electric nor magnetic
fields have any influence on these conductors. For this reason they must be placed in a way that they cannot generate
electric or magnetic fields themselves, e.g. by coiling them up to more than one loop.
CAUTION
Hot surfaces resulting from hot process media
Danger of burns resulting from surface temperatures above 70 °C (155 °F).
● Take appropriate protective measures, for example contact protection.
● Make sure that protective measures do not cause the maximum permissible ambient temperature to be exceeded.
Refer to the information in Chapter "Technical data (Page 35)".
3.2
Site requirements
As required by IEC/EN 60079-25, a site risk analysis has to determine possible measures to exclude any dangers from

Danger of explosion in hazardous areas.
● Close the cable inlets for the electrical connections. Only use cable glands or plugs which are approved for the relevant
type of protection.
NOTICE
Damage to optics
Do not install the sensors unless the purging media is accessible (for sensors that require purging). Never leave a purged
sensor with the purging switched off since the wedge optics are easily damaged.
Device position
The device may be mounted in any direction.
When mounting the sensors the large springs of the alignment flanges must face downwards.
Proceed as follows:
1. Check that the flanges are installed properly.
2. Mount the receiver and transmitter, both with gaskets on the flanges and cross-tighten the bolts.
3. Align the sensors as described in section 'Sensor alignment' of the detailed operating instructions.
Note
The stability of the sensor alignment depends on the stability of the construction to which the process flange is mounted. If
the operation site is subject to movements due to, for instance, thermal changes the sensors will need repeated realignment.
This can be avoided by mounting the sensor pair on an external, more stable base, such as concrete or steel support.

5.2
Sensor side purging
NOTICE
Failure of purging gas supply
When the process purging is connected to the sensor purging, it may be necessary to use non-return valves to ensure that
no process gas can enter the purging gas line in the event of failure of the purging gas supply. This applies especially in
the case of cascaded sensor and process purging where there is otherwise the danger that, for example, corrosive process
gases could enter the sensor enclosure.
5.3
Process side purging
With this option a needle valve is supplied with the analyzer which must be mounted on the process interface.
WARNING
Damage due to overpressure
Observe that the use of this needle valve opens up into the process. The process must be permanently monitored if it is
under pressure. If any danger for personnel or equipment can arise from the over pressurized process we recommend to
mount a check valve on the process interface to prevent flow out from the process.
Make sure that under no circumstances the process gas will intrude into the purging system. This applies particularly to a
cascaded sensor and process purging which otherwise may lead to ingress of corrosive process gases.
NOTICE
Damage to the optics
Always install the purging system before you install the sensors to avoid damage to the optics during the rest of the
installation process. For optimal results use sensors equipped for the specific purging type, supplied by Siemens AG.

Service instructions
The following sections give step-by-step instructions for maintenance and service tasks for the sensors.
Cleaning the optical parts of the cross duct sensors
If the transmission for a channel drops below the level set by the user, the transmission alarm will be activated. This means
that the sensors for this channel are in need of service (cleaning of the optical surfaces and aligning the sensors).
Before the sensors are removed make sure that no purging is active.
Preparations
WARNING
Danger of burns
Due to hot process gases and/or purging media the sensors and their environment can become very hot. This applies
particularly when steam is used for purging since overheated steam is not visible!
Before you start cleaning the optical parts of the sensor make sure that
● no purging is under way
● no hazardous or hot gases can escape from the process
● you are sufficiently protected against hot surfaces on and around the sensor, e.g. by using protective gloves
Failure to do so may result in severe burns!
Cleaning of the process interface window on the process side
1. Demount the process interface, also demount the purging tube if applicable.
WARNING
Dangerous or pressurized process
Before you start demounting the process interface make sure that the process conditions are safe, e.g. there are no
more pressure or dangerous substances on the process side.
2. Remove all dust particles using pressurized air or flushing water.
3. Clean the optical surface with a soft cloth. Water with a small amount of soap or a mild detergent also works fine in many
cases.
Start the cleaning process at the center and work with circular movements towards the rim.
4. To remount the process interface, refer to section Sensor installation (Page 14). Also a new alignment of the sensors
has to be carried out.

5. When remounting the sensor, make sure that the guide pin fits the hole on the purging flange. Screw on the lock ring and
tighten it gently with the tool.
If this operation is performed properly, it will not affect the alignment of the sensor.
Note
Any work with the optical lens requires utmost care. The lens is anti-reflection coated and thus very susceptible to scratches!
Replacing the sensor electronics
When performing service on the cross duct sensor electronics you must be ESD protected. Use a wrist strap and ground it
somewhere close to the sensor. Put the strap around your arm.
To replace the sensor electronics proceed as follows:
1. Remove the lid of the sensor by rotating the lid counter-clockwise.
2. Disconnect the connector between the sensor card and the sensor connection cable.
3. Remove the two screws holding the card using a TORX 20 screwdriver.
4. Carefully remove the card.
