Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 21000-34-00-15-095-03-02 are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications

Its CSA explosion-proof rating makes it suitable for Class I, Division 1 hazardous areas. The 1.5-inch standoff adapter and 9.5-inch probe penetration allow flexible installation in tight spaces. By using a certified enclosure, you reduce the risk of probe damage and false readings, improving overall machine reliability and reducing unplanned downtime.

Installation & Setup Guidance

When installing the 21000-34-00-15-095-03-02, ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat. Use the provided 3/4-14 NPT mounting thread (option -02) for secure attachment. The assembly comes with one 3/4-14 NPT plug, one 3/4-14 to 1/2-14 NPT reducer, and a cable seal grip with grommets for cable sizes 1/8 to 3/16 inches, 1/4 to 5/16 inches, and 5/16 to 3/8 inches. Route the probe cable through the conduit fitting and tighten the grip to maintain the explosion-proof seal. Do not overtighten the dome cover to avoid damaging O-rings.

Maintenance & Reliability

Periodically inspect the housing for signs of corrosion or damage, especially in harsh environments. Check that all O-rings and seals remain intact to preserve the CSA Type 4 rating. The aluminum body with 304 stainless steel sleeve offers durability, but regular visual checks are recommended. If the probe or cable needs replacement, ensure the new components match the original specifications.
