Identification
The instrument is identified by the data plates shown in Figure 3. The certification plate (ref. A) contains the certification-related parameters for use in a hazardous area.
The Nameplate (ref. B), always made of AISI 316 SS, provides information concerning the model code, maximum working pressure, range and span limits, power supply, output signal, diaphragm material, fill fluid, range limit, serial number, maximum process working pressure (PS) and temperature (TS).
The Tag plate, instead, provides the customer tag number and calibrated range.
Both certification and tag plates are supplied self-adhesive attached to the electronics housing, as standard. Option I2 allows you to select these plates as metal AISI 316 SS fastened to the electronics housing with rivets.
The instrument may be used as a pressure accessory as defined by the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU:
- category III module H for PS > 20 MPa, 200 bar
- art. 4, par. 3 Sound Engineering Practice (SEP) for PS < 20 MPa, 200 bar and for all PS values of 266xRx models.
In this case, near the CE mark, you will find the number of the notified body (0474) that has verified the compliance according to module H.
266 pressure transmitters comply with directive EMC 2014/30/EU.
The certification plate (ref.A) shown here is issued by ABB S.p.A., 22016 Tremezzina, Italy, with the numbers:
— FM09ATEX0023X or IECEx FME 16.0002X or FM22UKEX0086X (Ex db, Ex tb)
— FM09ATEX0024X or IECEx FME 16.0003X or FM22UKEX0087X (Ex ia)
— FM09ATEX0025X or IECEx FME 16.0004X or FM22UKEX0088X (Ex ic, Ex tc)
It provides MD: manufacturer date, in the format mm/YY:
month of production/year of production
CE: Identification number of the notified bodies to the Pressure Equipment Directive: 0474, to ATEX certification: 0722, to IECEx certification: IT/CES/QAR07.0001.
The certification plate may also be issued by
- ABB India Limited, 560058 Bangalore, India
- ABB Inc. Bartlesville, OK 74006, USA
- ABB Electrical Industries Co. Ltd. Dammam 31952, Saudi Arabia
- ABB Engineering Limited, Shanghai 201319, P.R. China - ABB Inc. Warminster PA 18974, USA
with the same certification numbers.

Optional wired-on SST plate (I1)
The 266 transmitter can be supplied with the optional “Wired-on Stainless Steel plate” (figure 4), which is permanently laser printed with custom text specified in the phase of order. The available space consists of 4 lines with 32 characters per line.
The plate will be connected to the transmitter with a Stainless Steel wire.
Handling
The instrument does not require any special precautions during handling, although normal good practice should be observed.
Storage
The instrument does not require any special treatment if stored as dispatched and within the specified ambient conditions.
There is no limit to the storage period, although the terms of guarantee remain as agreed with the Company and as given in the order acknowledgement.
