2.9 Insulation Resistance Test and Dielectric Strength Test

Since the transmitter has undergone insulation resistance and

dielectric strength tests at the factory, normally these tests are not

required. However, if required, observe the following precautions in

the test procedures.

1. Do not perform such tests more frequently than necessary. Even

test voltages, that do not cause visible damage to the insulation,

may degrade the insulation and reduce safety margins.

2. Never apply a voltage exceeding 500VDC for the insulation

resistance test, or a voltage exceeding 500VAC for the dielectric

trength test.

3. Before conducting these tests, disconnect all signal lines from the

transmitter terminals. Perform the tests using the following

procedure.

Insulation Resistance test

1. Short-circuit the + and - SUPPLY terminals in the terminal

box.

2. Turn OFF the insulation tester. Then connect the insulation

tester plus (+) lead wire to the shorted SUPPLY terminals and

the minus (-) lead wire to the grounding terminal.

3. Turn ON the insulation tester power and measure the insulation

resistance. The voltage should be applied briefly to verify that

insulation resistance is at least 20MΩ.

4. After completing the test and being very careful not to touch

exposed conductors. Disconnect the insulation tester and

connect a 100kW resistor between the grounding terminal and

the short-circuiting SUPPLY terminals. Leave this resistor

connected at least three seconds to discharge any static

potential. Do not touch the terminal while it is discharging.

Dielectric Strength Test

1. Short-circuit the + and - SUPPLY terminals in the terminal

box.

2. Turn off the dielectric strength tester. Then connect the tester

between the shorted SUPPLY terminal and the grounding

terminal. Be sure to connect the grounding lead of the dielectric

strength tester to the ground terminal.

3. Set the current limit on the dielectric strength tester to 10mA,

then turn on the power and gradually increase the tester

voltage from '0' to the specified voltage.

4. When the specified voltage is reached, hold it for one minute.

5. After completing this test, slowly decrease the voltage to avoid

any voltage surges.

2.10.2 DEKRA/ATEX Certification

ATEX Certification number : DEKRA 11ATEX0192X

CE 0344 II 2 G

Model 3200 for potentially explosive

atmosphere

1. Ex d IIC T6...T4

2. Operating Temperature : -20°C ≤ T

amb

≤ +60°C

3. T6 for process ≤ 85°C;

4. T5 for process ≤ 100°C;

5. T4 for process ≤ 130°C;

Electrical Data

1. Supply Voltage : 42 Vdc Max

2. Output Signal : 4 to 20 mA + HART

Electrical Connection : 1/2˝-14 NPT Female

200 ATEX Certification is according to the

below standards

EN 60079-0 : 2006

EN 60079-1 : 2007

Installation

1. All wiring shall comply with local installation requirement.

2. The cable glands and blanking elements shall be of a certified

flameproof type, suitable for the condition of use and correctly

installed. Also those devices should be endured at the 130°C.

3. Housing Ground must be followed to “local electrical codes”. The

most efficient ground procedure is to connect directly to the earth

as least impedance.

1. How to Housing Ground:

A. Internal Ground Connection:

Internal ground connection screw is located in terminal in

housing; the screw can be identified as ground sign.

B. External Ground Assembly:

This is located in the right side of housing and identified as

ground sign. (Grounding with a cable lug)

2. When use tubing, stopping boxes must be connected with the wall

of housing directly.

3. Tubing is installed a minimum of 5 threads.

4. Sensor is to be threaded a minimum of 7 threads and prevented

from turing by tightening the housing rotation set screw.

5. Do not disassemble flameproof Joints but in an unavoidable case

to disassemble it or need the specification of flameproof Joints,

contact the manufacturer before doing.

Operation

1. Take care not to generate mechanical spark when access to the

instrument and peripheral devices in hazardous location.

2.11 EMC Conformity Standards

EMI (Emission): EN55011

EMS (Immunity): EN50082-2

Dwyer Instruments, Inc. recommends customer use metal conduit

wiring or twisted pair shield cable for signal wiring to conform with

EMC regulation, when installing the Mercoid

3200 transmitters.
