Potential equalisation: Special version code X and Z

The travel sensor must be integrated into the system's potential equalization via the pre-assembled
earthing kit.
The potential equalization connection's maximum permissible resistance limit value is defined as R
≤ 100 Ω.
During the plant-specific maintenance cycle, the potential equalization connection must be checked
to ensure that it has been connected correctly and that the maximum resistance limit value has not
been exceeded.

9.3 Installing the adapter
With some mounting kits it is necessary to install an adapter
as well. This adapter is enclosed with the required mounting
kits. Valves with a normally open and double-acting control
function (code 2+3) also include additional O-rings (1+2) (see
“Installing the adapter for metal housings (housing material
code 14)“, page 13).

For use in potentially explosive areas, observe the following
installation instructions (see “Installation instructions for ex-

This design is suitable for connecting to the GEMÜ 1434,
1436 or 1435 positioner with the M12 cable connector design.

NOTICE
▶ For special versions X and Z:
The M12 connector must only be connected in the safe
area (outside the potentially explosive zone). The en-
closed M12 cable connector is only intended for connec-
tion to the positioner (the positioners (GEMÜ 1434, 1435
and 1436) are not explosion-protected and must only be
installed outside of the potentially explosive zone).

NOTICE
▶ For special version X:
The electrical connection of the travel sensor to the posi-
tioner must be routed via safety barriers (a limit resistor
must also be wired) (see “Installation instructions for spe-
cial version X (wiring instructions for intrinsic safety)“,
page 15).
In order to wire the safety barriers appropriately, the con-
nection cable for the travel sensor can be cut to length at
the point at which the safety barriers are being installed
(generally a DIN rail) and the end piece including the fitted
M12 cable connector can be used to continue wiring from
the safety barriers to the installation position for the posi-
tioner.

DANGER
Danger of explosion
▶ Risk of severe injury or death.
● The travel sensor with special function
X may only be used in potentially ex-
plosive zones in combination with
compliant safety barriers.
These safety barriers need to have
been designed specifically for use with
passive resistor elements or poten-
tiometers and must have their own op-
erating instructions. The supplied limit
resistor must also be wired.

NOTICE
▶ The correct use of safety barriers creates an intrinsically
safe electric circuit between the travel sensor and the
safety barriers; the travel sensor cable can be labelled ac-
cordingly on the system side.
Installation standard IEC 60079-14 for potentially explos-
ive areas must be observed here.
The limit resistor kit supplied with the product comprises a
mounting rail module, a component holder, a lateral separator
plate and a specified fixed resistor.
