EC-Type Certificate Installation Instructions:
Cable Connection
The cable entry device shall be certified in type of explosion protec-
tion flameproof enclosure “d”, suitable for conditions of use and cor-
rectly installed. For ambient temperatures over 70°C, cable and cable
glands suitable for at least 90°C shall be used.
Conduit Connection
An EEx d certified sealing device such as a conduit seal with setting
compound shall be provided immediately to the entrance of the valve
housing. For ambient temperatures over 70°C, the wiring and setting
compound in the conduit seal shall be suitable for at least 90°C.
Note: ATEX units only: The temperature class is determined by the
maximum ambient and or process temperature. Units are intended
to be used in ambient of -20°C) Tamb )75°C. Units may be used in
process temperatures up to 105°C providing the enclosure and
switch body temperature do not exceed 75°C. The standard
Temperature Class is T6 Process Temp )75°C. Alternate
Temperature Class of T5 Process Temp )90°C and 115°C (T4)
Process Temp )105°C are available consult factory.
All wiring, conduit and enclosures must meet applicable codes for
hazardous areas. Conduits and enclosures must be properly sealed.
For outdoor or other locations where temperatures vary widely, pre-
cautions should be taken to prevent condensation inside switch or
enclosure. Electrical components must be kept dry at all times.
CAUTION: To prevent ignition of hazardous atmospheres, discon-
nect the device from the supply circuit before opening. Keep assem-
bly tightly closed when in use.
MAINTENANCE
Inspect and clean wetted parts at regular intervals. The cover should
be in place at all times to protect, the internal components from dirt,
dust and weather and to maintain hazardous location ratings.
Disconnect device from the supply circuit before opening to prevent
ignition of hazardous atmosphere.
