1.0 Introduction
These certified beacons have been designed for use in
potentially explosive gas and dust atmospheres and harsh
environmental conditions. The glass reinforced polyester
enclosures are suitable for use offshore or onshore,
where light weight combined with corrosion resistance is
required.
The beacon housing is manufactured completely from
a U.V. stable, glass reinforced polyester. Stainless steel
screws and mounting bracket are incorporated ensuring a
totally corrosion free product.
Units can be painted to customer specification and
supplied with indentification labels.
2.0 Installation
General
When installing and operating explosion-protected
equipment, requirements for selection, installation and
operation should be referred to eg. IEE Wiring Regulations
and the ‘National Electrical Code’ in North America.
Additional national and/or local requirements may apply.
Ensure that all nuts, bolts and fixings are secure.
Ensure that only the correct listed or certified stopping
plugs are used to blank off unused gland entry points and
that the NEMA/IP rating of the unit is maintained. MEDC
recommend the use of a sealing compound such as
HYLOMAR PL32 on the threads of glands and stopping
plugs in order to maintain the IP rating of the unit.
The unit can either be directly mounted using the inserts
moulded into the back of the enclosure (standard), or a
backstrap (optional) can be fixed to the base of the unit
thus giving an optional mounting position for when direct
mounting is deemed unsuitable.
There are 2 off M5 inserts in the base of the enclosure for
direct mounting.
Please note: for direct mounting, observe the following
formula to determine length of fixing screw required:-
Length of screw = Thickness of mounting surface +
10mm.
There are 2 off Ø8.5mm mounting holes in the optional
backstrap. These have been designed to accept an M8
screw or bolt.
MEDC recommend the use of stainless steel screws.
Cable termination
CAUTION: Before removing the cover assembly,
ensure that the power to the unit is isolated.
Unscrew and remove the 6 off M5 screws (4.0mm
hexagon key) holding the cover assembly to the
base. Keep in a safe, accessible location as they are
non-captive.
Twist the cover assembly gently clockwise and
anti-clockwise, whilst pulling it away from the base.
Remove to gain access to the interior.
Cable termination should be in accordance with
specifications applying to the required application. MEDC
recommends that all cables and cores should be correctly
identified. Please refer to the wiring diagram provided
with the product.
Ensure that only the correct listed or certified cable glands
are used and that the assembly is shrouded and correctly
earthed.
All cable glands should be of an equivalent NEMA/IP
rating to that of the unit and integrated with the unit such
that this rating is maintained.
The internal earth terminal, where fitted, must be used for
the equipment grounding connection.
Once termination is complete, carefully replace the cover
assembly back onto the base, avoiding damage to the
mating surfaces. Replace the 6 off M5 screws (4.0mm
A/F hexagon key) into the holes in the cover assembly
and tighten evenly. Ensure the O-ring is seated correctly
on the cover during re-assembly. Ensure the required
maximum gap of 0.2mm is maintained between the cover
and the base once assembled.
Purchaser/Customer should make Eaton aware of any
external effects or aggressive substances that the
equipment may be exposed to.
Ensure equipment is protected from direct dust laden
airflow which may cause charge transfer.

4.0 Maintenance
During the working life of the unit, it should require little
or no maintenance. GRP will resist attack by most acids,
alkalis and chemicals and is as resistant to concentrated
acids and alkalis as most metal products.
However, if abnormal or unusual environmental conditions
occur due to plant damage or accident etc., then visual
inspection is recommended.
If the unit requires cleaning, then only clean exterior with
a damp cloth to avoid electro-static charge build up.
Replacement of the xenon tube (see below) can be
carried out by competent site personnel. Other repairs
should be undertaken by returning the unit to MEDC or by
an authorised repairer of Ex equipment.
If a unit fault should occur, then the unit can be repaired
by MEDC. All parts of the unit are replaceable.
If you acquired a significant quantity of units, then it
is recommended that spares are also made available.
Please discuss your requirements with the Technical Sales
Engineers at MEDC.
Removing/replacing xenon tube
CAUTION: Before removing the cover assembly,
ensure that the power to the unit is isolated.
Unscrew and remove the 6 off M5 (4.0mm A/F hexagon
key). Keep in a safe, accessible location as they are
noncaptive.
Twist the cover assembly gently clockwise and
anti-clockwise, whilst pulling it away from the base.
Remove to gain access to the interior.
Unscrew and remove the two M3 nuts and washers
holding the circuit board to the cover pillars. Keep in a
safe accessible location.
Lift the electronics assembly away from the support
pillars, thus exposing the xenon tube. Remove the old tube
by unscrewing the terminal block fixings. The replacement
tube can now be fitted (see xenon tube installation sheet,
which is supplied with the replacement tubes).
Replace the electronics assembly onto the support
pillars and secure using the two off M3 nuts and
washers. Ensure the retaining strap is fitted to one of the
electronics assembly mounting pillars during re-assembly.
Carefully replace the cover assembly back onto the base,
avoiding damage to the mating surfaces. Replace the 6 off
M5 screws (4.0mm A/F hexagon key) into the holes in the
cover assembly and tighten evenly. Ensure the O-ring is
seated correctly on the cover during re-assembly. Ensure
the required maximum gap of 0.2mm is maintained
between the cover and the base once assembled.

1.0 Introduction
Ces feux à éclats certifiés ont été conçus pour pouvoir
être utilisés en milieux potentiellement explosifs et dans
des conditions environnementales difficiles. Leur boîtier
en polyester renforcé de fibre de verre permet de les
utiliser en mer ou à terre, lorsque des qualités de légèreté
et de résistance à la corrosion sont impératives.
Le boîtier du feu à éclats est entièrement construit en
polyester renforcé de fibre de verre stable aux U.V. Grâce
à l’utilisation de vis et supports en acier inoxydable, le
produit est totalement à l’abri de la corrosion.
Les unités peuvent être peintes suivant les spécifications
du client et pourvues d’étiquettes d’identification.
2.0 Installation
Généralités
Pour toute installation et mise en oeuvre d’un équipement
électrique antidéflagrant, la réglementation applicable,
comme celle sur les installations électriques de IEE
Wiring Regulations (réglementation IEE du câblage) et le
code NEC (‘National Electrical Code) en Amérique du Nord
doit être respectée. D’autres règlementations nationales
et/ou locales sont susceptibles de s’appliquer.
Vérifiez que les écrous, boulons et fixations sont
correctement serrés.
Veillez à obturer les points d’entrée non utilisés à l’aide
de bouchons certifiés du type approprié et prenez soin
de maintenir le niveau de classification NEMA/IP de
l’unité. Afin de maintenir le niveau de classification
NEMA/IP, MEDC recommande d’enduire le filetage des
presse-étoupes et des bouchons d’une pâte d’étanchéité
(HYLOMAR PL32, par exemple).
L’unité peut être montée directement en utilisant les
inserts moulés au dos du boîtier (standard) ou, si cette
solution s’avère inappropriée, au moyen d’un collier
(option) fixé à sa base.
La base du boîtier est pourvue de deux inserts M5 pour la
fixation directe.
Remarque : pour la fixation directe, la formule suivante
doit être utilisée pour déterminer la longueur des vis
requises :
Longueur de la vis = épaisseur de la surface de montage
+ 10mm.
Le collier en option est pourvu de deux orifices de
Ø8,5mm. Ces orifices peuvent recevoir une vis ou un
boulon de type M8.
MEDC recommande d’utiliser des vis en acier inoxydable.
Connexion des câbles
ATTENTION: Avant de déposer le couvercle, vérifiez
que l’unité est hors circuit.
Retirez les six vis M5 (clé Allen 4mm) maintenant le
couvercle en place. Ces vis n’étant pas captives, veillez à
ne pas les égarer.
Tourner doucement le couvercle dans le sens des
aiguilles d’une montre et dans le sens inverse tout en
tirant dessus jusqu’à ce qu’il se sépare du boîtier. Ôtez le
couvercle pour accéder à l’intérieur de l’unité.
La connexion des câbles doit être conforme aux
spécifications pertinentes au vu de l’application. MEDC
recommande d’identifier clairement tous les câbles et
conducteurs. Veuillez vous reporter au schéma de câblage
fourni avec le produit.
Veillez à utiliser des presse-étoupes certifiés du type
approprié et vérifiez que l’ensemble est protégé et
correctement mis à la terre.
Tous les presse-étoupes doivent présenter un indice
NEMA/IP équivalent à celui de l’unité et être intégrés
à celle-ci de façon à assurer le maintien de cette
classification.
La borne interne de mise à la terre doit être utilisée pour
mettre l’équipement à la terre.
Une fois les raccordements effectués, remettez
soigneusement le couvercle en place, en veillant à ne
pas abîmer les surfaces de contact. Réinsérez les 6 vis
M5 (clé Allen 4mm A/F) dans les orifices du couvercle et
serrez les vis de manière. uniforme. Vérifiez que le joint
torique est parfaitement positionné dans son logement.
Assurez-vous que l’écartement entre le couvercle et le
boîtier ne dépasse pas 0,2mm.
L’acheteur/client doit informer Eaton de tout impact
externe ou de toute substance agressive auxquels
l’appareil peut être exposé.

4.0 Maintenance
Durant toute sa durée de vie, l’équipement ne nécessite
aucune ou peu de maintenance. Le polyester renforcé à la
fibre de verre résiste à l’attaque de la plupart des acides,
bases et produits chimiques. Il est aussi résistant aux
acides et bases concentrés que la plupart des produits en
métal.
Toutefois, lorsque les conditions environnementales
peuvent avoir un effet sur l’équipement (machine
endommagée, accident, etc.), il est recommandé de
procéder à une inspection visuelle.
Si un nettoyage s’avère nécessaire, veillez à nettoyer
uniquement l’extérieur avec un chiffon légèrement
humide afin d’éviter l’accumulation d’électricité statique.
Le remplacement du tube au xénon (voir ci-dessous) peut
être effectué par un technicien compétent local. Pour les
autres réparations, l’unité doit être renvoyée à MEDC ou
confiée à un réparateur agréé pour les équipements Ex.
En cas de défaillance de l’équipement, celui-ci peut être
réparé par MEDC. Toutes les pièces sont remplaçables.
Lorsqu’un nombre significatif d’unités ont été acquises, il
est recommandé de disposer d’unités de rechange. Les
technicocommerciaux de MEDC sont à la disposition de la
clientèle pour toute étude des besoins.
Remplacement du tube au xénon
ATTENTION: Avant de déposer le couvercle, vérifiez
que l’unité est hors circuit.
Retirez les six vis M5 (clé Allen 4mm A/F). Ces vis n’étant
