To ensure that there is no risk of ignition due to hot surfaces, the
equipment is classified with regard to the maximum surface
temperature of any part of the equipment while in operation based on
the ambient temperature of 40°C. Equipment must be selected with a
suitable temperature classification for the gases and vapors present
where the equipment is to be installed. Ensure that the maximum
surface temperature of any parts of the equipment are below the
ignition temperature of the explosive atmosphere concerned.

The Flame Proof Electric Motor
Power Requirements: See chart above.
Ambient Temperature Range: -20°C<Tamb< +40°C
Ingress Protection to IEC 529: IP55
Marked: (“Bluffton Motor Works”) Electric Motor for Hazardous
Locations
Flame Proof Enclosure:Ex d IIB
The electric motor consists of one flameproof enclosure, which contains
less than 6% magnesium by weight. The on/off switch is housed within
the motor enclosure, and is operated by a shaft, extending out from the
rear end bell to a lever. The lever is accessible via an attached push
rod.
Motor connections are made through a non-detachable cable, secured
to the motor with an approved Flame Proof cable gland from the
company Hawke, Model 501/421/0/M20 and complies with International
Standards EN 60079-0:2006, EN 60079-1:2004, EN 60079-7:2007.
The electric motor drives an aluminum or plastic fan blade containing
less than 6% Magnesium by weight which is enclosed in a plastic,
statically conductive housing with a conductivity rating of <1 giga-
ohmes. Connection to the motor is facilitated by a Terminal Block
mounted in an Increased Safety/Flame Proof Enclosure rated II 2 G Ex
e II T6, from the company Rose Industries, Part No. 05080806, and
covered under the certificate No. PTB 00ATEX1063. This box was
designed to conform to International Standards EN 60079-0:2006, EN
60079-1:2004, EN 60079-7:2006, EN 61241-0:2004 and EN 61241-
1:2004. The enclosure features stainless steel grounding lugs, with a
high heat silicon gasket.
The Flame Proof enclosure has attached, approved, explosion proof
cable glands Rated:IIGD Ex e II
Type: Polyamide Ex metric conforms to International Standards EN
60079-0:2006, EN 60079-7:2006, EN 61241-0:2006 and EN 61241-

The power cable from each blower is terminated with either a yellow
120VAC or a Blue 240VAC Explosion-proof plug to match the operating
voltage of the motor. The plugs are made by Appleton and complies
with International Standards: EN 60079-0:2006, EN 60079-1:2004, EN
61241-0:2004, EN 61241-1:2004 & EN 60079-7:2006.
The fans are assembled with both Inlet and Outlet Safety Guards that
conform to the safety standards to prevent danger zones being reached
by upper limbs in the BS EN 294:1992
Guards Standard.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION & INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SM-EFATEX Rev C

INSTALLATION & START-UP
During the installation and start-up of the Euramco Safety blowers in
areas where there is a risk of explosion:
▪Design of the electrical installations must be in accordance with
EN 60079-14.
▪Ensure power source is providing an electrical ground.
▪Blowers must be integrated into a system in a way to support
accessibility for regular maintenance.
▪Perform careful inspection of each blower system to ensure
ducting is securely attached to blower. All components of the
blower system are made of electrically conductive material. It is
very important to properly and securely attach each piece to
maintain a ground path.
▪Ensure set-up, installation, operation, and maintenance are
performed only by properly trained personnel.
▪Operation after a faulty installation or maintenance shall be
considered as unintended use.
Before STARTING the FIRST Time
DO not start operation if there are signs of shipping damage to blade,
guards, or housing. STOP, call your dealer. USE Ex-Rated receptacles
for this equipment. IT IS NOT recommended to use extension cords for
high amperage load. (See power rating label on limit.)
OPERATION
Always ensure the switch is in the OFF position prior to connecting a
ventilator to a power source.
Stop the blower if mechanical noise, vibration, or other abnormal
conditions occur. Any noise other than turbine-type pitch is not normal.
To protect the user, this unit is equipped with thermal overload
protection with automatic reset. Motor will restart without warning after
protector trips. If motor thermal protection trips, disconnect unit and
determine cause.
Conductive RAMFAN Portable Ventilators are made with statically
conductive materials. When ducting is required to remote the ventilator
from the point of application in a potentially explosive environment, the
ducting must be statically conductive and properly secured to ventilator
to minimize the potential fan static electricity build up.
MAINTENANCE
Disconnect power before disassembly or cleaning. Never immerse or
directly spray motor with liquids.
Clean ventilator with commercially available biodegradable cleaning
solutions. Do not use solvents containing hydrocarbons (i.e. MEK,
Acetone).
Clean fan periodically to remove accumulated dust or debris.
There are no user serviceable parts. Contact factory for replacement
part applicability.
Do not change make or model number of motor for any reason!
CAUTIONS
Do not move ventilator while fan is in operation. Use good lifting
practices when moving ventilator to prevent bodily injury.
Blower should be operated and repaired by trained personnel only.
Do not operate if there is any physical damage to cord, plug or
receptacle.
Keep fingers and hands clear of fan blade. Keep fan guard securely in
place. Do not operate with damaged or missing fan guards.
Use properly grounded power receptacle in potentially explosive
atmospheres, and for operation safety. Ensure continuity to the earth.
Fatal electrical shock may result if motor frame and adjacent metal are
not grounded in compliance with electrical code.
Keep area clear of rock and debris.
Keep away from children.

include feet, fasteners, handles, wheels, and paint, and are not covered
under the warranty. Fan impellers and shrouds are warranted to be free
of defects in material and workmanship for five years. Components
exposed to salt water service are warranted for a period of one year
from date of original purchase.*
Portable Blowers:
