Safety instructions
General
Do not dry wipe or clean devices in hazardous areas!
Do not open devices in hazardous areas.
The general statutory regulations or guidelines relating to safety at work,
accident prevention and environmental protection legislation must be
observed, e.g. the German Industrial Health and Safety Ordinance
(BetrSichV) or the applicable national ordinances.
Wear suitable clothing and footwear in view of the risk of dangerous
electrostatic charges.
Avoid exposure to heat outside the specified temperature range (see
Chapter “General technical data”).
Avoid exposure to moisture.
Safety instructions for operation
Commissioning
Before commissioning, check that all components and documents are
available.
Inspection
Under EN/IEC 60079-17 / ГОСТ IEC 60079-17-2013, the owner of electrical
systems in hazardous areas is obliged to have them checked by a qualified
electrician to ensure that they are in a proper condition.
Maintenance
For electrical systems, the relevant installation and operating regulations
must be observed (e.g. Directive 99/92/EC, Directive 2014/34/EUEC,
BetrSichV or the nationally applicable ordinances EN/IEC 60079-14 /
ГОСТ IEC 60079-14-2013 and the DIN VDE 0100, TR TS 012/2011 series)!
Please observe the national waste disposal regulations for disposal.
Servicing
Regular servicing is not necessary if the device is operated correctly in
accordance with the installation instructions and ambient conditions.
BARTEC recommends annual servicing and inspection.
See Chapter “Maintenance and care”.

Repairs
Only authorized persons working in accordance with the latest
development in technology and using original spare parts may do repairs
on explosion-protected equipment. The applicable provisions must be
observed.
Repairs must be carried out in accordance with EN / IEC 60079-19 /
ГОСТ 31610.19-2014.
For SIL-qualified devices, only a corresponding electronics module with
SIL qualification may be used.
All application settings must be re-entered. Therefore, you must conduct a
restart after a repair. If you have saved the data of parameter assignment
the first time you commissioned the Ex p control unit, you can transfer
them back to the replacement control unit. Detailed information on the
replacement of spare parts can be found in these operating instructions.
After restart or transfer of the parameter assignment data, you must verify
the parameters. Only then will the device be ready for operation again.
For Ex applications, only one device and one electronic module may be
used with corresponding Ex approval. Order the spare parts from your local
representative. The serial number can be found on the type plate of the
device, inside the enclosure.
Avoidance of damage to property
Short circuit due to improper connection
An incorrect connection of the power supply will destroy the electronics and void
the warranty.
Triggering the safety function
Switching on again too quickly after switching off can cause internal voltage
peaks in the power supply unit and thus trigger a safety function. After switching
off the voltage path, wait at least 30 seconds before switching on again.
EMC-compliant connection
For the safe function of the Ex p control unit it is important to carry out the wiring
in accordance with EMC. This includes observing the chapter Electrical
connections with regard to EMC-compliant wiring and inductive loads.
Storage at an excessively high temperature
Store the Ex p control unit at the intended storage temperature since otherwise
damage to the electronics or seals may occur. Ensure adequate air conditioning
at high storage temperatures.

Aggressive cleaning agents
When selecting the correct cleaning agent, it is essential that it is suitable for
use since otherwise damage may occur to seals and connections. Combustible
products are generally not permitted.
Danger to health due to improper disposal
According to the European WEEE Directive, electrical and electronic equipment
may not be disposed of with household waste. Their components must be sent
separately for recycling or disposal because toxic and hazardous components
can cause long-term damage to health and the environment if not disposed of
properly.
As consumers, you are obliged under the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act
(ElektroG) to return electrical and electronic equipment at the end of its
serviceable life free of charge to the manufacturer, the point of sale or to public
collection points set up for this purpose. Details of this are regulated by the
respective national law. The symbol on the product, the operating instructions
or/and the packaging refers to these regulations. With this type of material
separation, recycling and disposal of old devices, you make an important
contribution to the protection of our environment.
Obligations of the owner
The owner undertakes to restrict permission to work with and on the SILAS
control unit to people who:
are familiar with the basic regulations on safety and accident prevention
and have been instructed in the use of the SILAS control unit;
have read and understood the documentation, the chapter on safety and
the warnings.
The owner must check that the safety regulations and accident prevention
rules valid for the respective application are observed.
Instructions for use
The overvoltage category II of the non-intrinsically safe circuits according
to IEC 60664-1 must be observed.
The warning “WARNING –DO NOT OPEN UNDER VOLTAGE” must be part of
the external marking of the entire electrical device or the enclosure must
have a locking system to prevent the fuses from being energized during
replacement.

3Product description
General information
The Ex p type of protection, referred to as “pressurized enclosure”, is based on
the measure of purging out any explosive gases that are in a closed enclosure
and then generating and maintaining a level of pressure that is higher than that
of the ambient atmosphere. As the pressure inside the enclosure is higher as the
atmospheric pressure, it is not possible at any time for explosive gases to
penetrate the inside of the enclosure. This creates an Ex-free area in which
electrical devices that are not themselves explosion-proof can be mounted and
operated.
The SILAS control units described in these operating instructions function on the
principle of “pressurized enclosure with leakage loss compensation”.
Specifically, this means that an overpressure in an enclosure is maintained by
the addition of purging gas to compensate for the leakage losses from the
enclosure.
To ensure that an explosive atmosphere that has penetrated during downtimes
cannot become a hazard, the enclosure must be flushed with purging gas
(compressed air or inert gas) before commissioning. The quantity depends on the
inspection carried out during initial commissioning. The rate of flow is measured
or determined at the outlet of the pressurized enclosure.
Since a safe state in the enclosure is only reached when the operation phase is
started, it is necessary to use explosion-proof versions of the SILAS control unit
with its system components.
Ex p control units SILAS
The control unit SILAS with its system components is an
automatic controller for monitoring, controlling and
regulating pressurized enclosures in the hazardous
areas of Zone 2 and Zone 22.
The control unit SILAS is suitable for all standard
applications for pressurized enclosures of Zone 2 and
Zone 22.
The electrical installed parts inside the pressurized
enclosure are enabled by the control unit SILAS directly or by an additional
switching device.
Once the control unit SILAS, the purging gas valve and the pressure outlet have
been mounted on the pressurized enclosure and after connection of mains
voltage and purging gas, the pressurized system starts automatically.The control
unit SILAS regulates the purging gas flow and the pressure inside the enclosure
during the purging phase. When the operating phase is initiated, the SILAS
control unit automatically activates the components mounted in the pressurized
enclosure.The pressure inside the pressurized enclosure is maintained
automatically during the operating phase and any leakage losses are
compensated
