Inside the DWEx enclosure (see Figure 3), an explosion-proof box DKV-3.1
manufactured by "Armtel" LLC is fixed on the posts. In the lower part of the DKV-3.1 box
there is an additional amplifier (5), in the upper part of the box there is a block of main
boards (4). The explosion-proof DKV-3.1 box with the main boards block and the additional
amplifier is connected to the terminal box (2) and to the DW-BC board from the cover (using
the intrinsically safe cable).

The electromechanical relay installed in the main boards block of DWEx unit inside
the explosion proof box DKV-3.1 («d»-type shell), is designed for switching with incoming
calls to external devices, such as a light signal device (not included in the scope of supply).
The operating mode of the relay coincides with the operating mode of the auxiliary amplifier
and is determined by its configuration parameters. The following modes of the relay
operation are available:
–the relay is not activated during a call;
–the relay is always activated when an incoming call comes in (default mode);
–the relay is activated when the first call comes in, and is turned off after the
subscriber answers. Re-enable after the lock interval of 15 seconds.
he main boards block and the KIB board are connected between each other and
the terminal box by electric cables, which ensure their interaction and functioning in
the communication system.
Auxiliary amplifier 25 W is installed in versions DWEx (see Table 1). The auxiliary
amplifier is installed inside the explosion proof box DKB-3 with a «d»-type shell (see
Figure 4), which is connected to the terminal box and the KIB board
The following operation modes are available for the auxiliary amplifier:
–OFF;
–ON, messages are playbacked concurrently with the main amplifier;
–The auxiliary amplifier is used for the voice call.

DWEX DIGITAL LOUD-SPEAKING EXPLOSION PROOF CALL STATION
User Manual
page 18/40 armtel.com
In the latter case, the incoming message is broadcast simultaneously by the integrated
and auxiliary amplifiers, but only before pressing of DWEx key to respond the call. After
the response, the auxiliary amplifier is turned off, and the calls are only broadcast to the
integrated amplifier. It is turned on again after a predetermined interval after the end of the
communication session (usually 15 seconds).
The operating mode and the output delay value for the auxiliary amplifier are specified
in the unit configuration data using the communication system administration software. The
volume control of the auxiliary amplifier is on the KIB board (see Figure 3).
To ensure the protection degree IP66 DWEx unit in compliance with requirements of
standards GOST 14254-2015 (standards – DIN VED 0470 Pat1, EN60529:1991/А2:2013, IEC
529), sealing rubber and silicone gaskets are placed under the cover, speaker and
microphone, switch mechanisms and cable glands.

–Use of Ex-components in the equipment, such as explosion-proof cable glands
series 8161 manufactured by STAHL and explosion-proof terminal blocks
STS 2.5 TWIN manufactured by Phoenix Contact.
1.5.3 Explosion protection type "d" in DWEx is provided by putting its electrical
circuits in an explosion-proof shell made in accordance with EN 60079-1:2014.
Explosion-proof box DKV-3.1 made of aluminum alloy is used as the shell. The cable
outlet from the explosion-proof box is made through Ex-cable gland marked Ex d IIC
During the manufacturing process, the explosion-proof box DKV-3.1 is tested for
explosion resistance in accordance with EN 60079-1:2014 with the pressure 1.5 times higher
than the pressure of the explosion.
Wiring is carried out by a cable of 0.5 mm2cross-section for each core and with
reinforced insulation, which withstands the test voltage of 3000 V AC without breakdown.
