Proper/Designated Use
Use the unit only for the application described in the following.
The FAM is for dewatering, filtering and degassing hydraulic and lubricating
oils. In addition, it removes free water, emulsified water and a large
percentage of the water found in solution.
Proper or designated use of the product extends to the following:
observing all instructions contained in the instruction manual.
performing inspection and maintenance work.
DANGER
Fluid temperature > 70°C
Risk of explosion
►Note the maximum permissible hydraulic
fluid temperature of 70°C.
Install a radiator upstream of the unit if
necessary.
When work is done in explosion-prone areas, the safety of persons
and equipment depends on the observance of all relevant safety regulations.
The installation and maintenance personnel thus carries particular
responsibility. Exact knowledge of the applicable regulations and conditions
is required.
Please note:
Observe the characteristic curves and measurement operating conditions
of the rating plates and data plates.
Damage to the devices can nullify the explosion protection.
The unit may be operated only when the control cabinet is completely
closed.
Conversions and modifications to the devices and components that affect
the explosion protection are not allowed.

Explosion protection as per ATEX 95
The water extraction units of the FluidAqua Mobile FAM-ATEX series satisfy
all the requirements of the new EU directive 94/9/EC, ATEX 95 applicable to
areas in which potentially explosive gas mixtures are likely to occur.
The designation of the explosion-proof ATEX-compliant unit is:
II 2G IIB3 T4 (+10°C<Ta<40°C)
This means that the FAM may be used only in accordance with:
E
Eq qu ui ip pm me en nt t g gr ro ou up p II Potentially explosive atmospheres in which
vapors or gas/air mixtures are likely to
occur.
Equipment category 2G Equipment providing for a standard degree
of safety.
Designated for cases in which atmospheres
posing an explosion hazard can be
expected to occur very rarely and, if so,
only briefly.
Explosion hazard
subgroup
IIB3 Typical gases:
Town gas, acrylonitrile, ethylene, ethylene
oxide, ethylene glycol, hydrogen sulfide.
Ammonia, methane, ethane, propane, ethyl
alcohol, cyclohexane, n-butane, n-hexane.
Normal gap width: MESG ≥0.65 mm
Ensure that vapors, gases or mists
occurring at the place of operation belong
to explosion groups IIA to IIB3.
Temperature class T4 Maximum permissible surface temperature:
135°C
