* Maximum liquid temperature may be limited by the pump model and order specific options. Table 2:
Temperature class definitions on page 14 is for the purpose of determining T'x' code for ATEX applica-
tions with liquid temperatures exceeding 107ºC | 225ºF.
The code classification marked on the equipment must be in accordance with the specified area where
the equipment will be installed. If it is not, do not operate the equipment and contact your ITT Goulds
Pumps sales representative before proceeding.
Recommended bearing replacement interval (based on L10 life) = 17,520 hours of operation.
WARNING:
•Follow these special handling instructions if you have an Ex-approved unit.
• The coupling guard used in an ATEX classified environment must be properly certified
and must be constructed from a spark resistant material.
• All work on the product must be carried out by certified electricians and ITT-authorized
mechanics. Special rules apply to installations in explosive atmospheres.
• All users must know about the risks of electric current and the chemical and physical
characteristics of the gas, the vapor, or both present in hazardous areas.
• Any maintenance for Ex-approved products must conform to international and national
standards.
• When pumping fluids with conductivity less than 1000 ps/m follow IEC TS 60079 32-1
guidelines.
• The preventive maintenance section must be adhered to in order to keep the applicable
ATEX classification of the equipment. Failure to follow these procedures will void the
ATEX classification for the equipment. Bearing replacement intervals are given in the spe-
cific pump model IOM.
1.4 ATEX Considerations and Intended Use
14 XHD Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual

• Do not insulate or allow the bearing housings to accumulate a dust layer as this can result
in excess heat generation, sparks and premature failure.
• Do not apply additional paint or coatings to the pump when in an ATEX environment.
Static electric discharge can be initiated when contacting or rubbing surfaces with exces-
sive coating thickness.
• Potential electrostatic charging hazard. Do not rub, clean, or blast equipment with dry
cloth or dry media.
• Stray electrical currents may ignite explosive atmospheres. Ensure drives are certified for
variable frequency drive operation by the manufacturer.
• User shall observe necessity of using a safety device, such as a flame arrestor, to prevent
flame entering or leaving the pump sump, tank, or barrel when applicable.
