Product Identity: Logix 3200MD+

Description: Digital Positioner

Make/Model: 3200MD+

FM Approval Status:ATEX and IECEx Certified for Hazardous Locations
ATEX:FM16ATEX0006X, FM16ATEX0021X & FM16ATEX0027X
IECEx:FMG16.0007X, FMG16.0015X

Hazard Involved:The products in question are certified with a Temperature Classification of T6 (i.e. maximum surface temperature of 85ºC) for use in a maximum ambient of 45ºC. The incorrect labeling implies that they would have a T4 temperature classification in a maximum ambient temperature of 85ºC, which is not the case, and is not covered by the product certification. If the products were used in an ambient of 85ºC, they would reach a maximum surface temperature in excess of that permitted by the Temperature Classification.
