5) Zones, Gas Group, Category and
Temperature Classification
When connected to an approved system the D2X unit may be
installed in:
Zone 2
Explosive gas air mixture not likely to occur in
normal operation, and if it does, it will only exist
Zone 22
Explosive dust air mixture not likely to occur in
normal operation, and if it does, it will only exist
Group IIA Propane
Group IIB Ethylene
Group IIC Hydrogen and Acetylene
Temperature Classification
Dust Groupings
(ATEX / IECEx / UKEX only)
Group IIIA Combustible Flyings
Maximum Surface Temperature for Dust Applications
D2XC1X05: 90°C
D2XC1X10: 110ºC
Equipment Level Protection
Gc, Dc
Ambient Temperature Range
-40ºC to +70ºC (Class I Div 2 only)
IP Rating
To maintain the ingress protection rating, the two off cable
entries must be fitted with suitably rated, certified cable entry
and/or blanking devices during installation.
6) Special Conditions for Safe Use
Special Condition for safe Use as stated on the Type
Examination Certificate DEMKO 14 ATEX 4786493904X /
CoC IECEx ULD 14.0004X / UL21UKEX2131X:
End user shall adhere to the manufacturer’s installation and
instruction when performing housekeeping to avoid the
potential for hazardous electrostatic charger during cleaning,
by using a damp cloth.
The D2xC1 is not to be mounted with the horn facing upwards
The equipment shall only be used in end use with
appropriately certified cable entry devices and blanking plugs
6.1 Installation
The product must only be installed by suitably qualified
personnel in accordance with the latest issues of the relevant
standards.
The installation of the units must also be in accordance with any
local codes that may apply and should only be carried out by a
competent electrical engineer who has the necessary training.
The equipment is not to be mounted with the horn facing
upwards.
The equipment has not been assessed as a safety-related
device (as referred to by Directive 2014/34/EU Annex II, clause
1.5).
The cable entry temperature may exceed +70ºC / the cable
branching point may exceed 80ºC. Therefore suitable heat
resisting cables and cable glands must be used, with a rated
service temperature of at least 90ºC
To maintain the ingress protection rating and mode of
protection, the M20 x 1.5 cable entries must be fitted with
suitably rated, certified cable glands and/or suitably rated,
certified blanking devices during installation. If a high IP (Ingress
Protection) rating is required then a suitable sealing washer
must be fitted under the cable gland. For use in explosive gas
atmospheres a minimum ingress protection rating of IP54 must
be maintained. For use in explosive dust atmospheres a
minimum ingress protection rating of IP64 must be maintained.
Only the front cover is to be used for access to the enclosure for
installation, service and maintenance. Once the product is
opened, the Type Rating cannot be maintained anymore unless
a full verification of the gasket material is done and there is no
damage.
Connections are to be made into the terminal blocks using solid
or stranded wire, sizes 0.5-2.5mm2 / AWG 20-14. Wire
insulation needs to be stripped 6-7mm. Wires may be fitted
securely with crimped ferrules. Terminal screws need to be
tightened down with a tightening torque of 0.56 Nm / 5 Lb-in.
Internal earthing connections should be made to the internal
earth terminal on the PCBA. The earth conductor should be at
least equal in size and rating to the incoming power conductors.
The internal earth bonding wire connects the PCBA earth
terminal to the internal earth terminal in the enclosure back box.
External earthing connections should be made to the M5 earth
stud, using a ring crimp terminal to secure the earth conductor
to the earth stud. The external earth conductor should be at
least 4mm2 / AWG 11 in size.
Check that the earth bonding wire between the two castings is
secure and the ‘O’ ring seal is in place and in good condition.
6.2 Maintenance, Overhaul and Repair
Maintenance, repair and overhaul of the equipment should only
be carried out by suitably qualified personnel in accordance with
the current relevant standards:
EN60079-19 / IEC60079-19 Explosive atmospheres -
Equipment repair, overhaul and reclamation
EN 60079-17/ IEC60079-17 Explosive atmospheres -
Electrical installations inspection and maintenance
Units must not be opened while an explosive atmosphere is
present.
