The warranty relating to the operating reliability and safety of the supplied pump
(set) is only valid if the equipment is used in accordance with its intended use.
2.10 Explosion protection
!DANGER
Always observe the information on explosion protection given in this section when
operating an explosion-proof pump set.
Sections of the manual marked by the symbol opposite apply to explosion-proof
pump sets also when temporarily operated outside of potentially explosive
atmospheres.
Only pumps/pump sets marked as explosion-proof and identified as such in the data
sheet may be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Special conditions apply to the operation of an explosion-proof pump set to
EUDirective 2014/34/EU (ATEX).
Especially adhere to the sections in this manual marked with the symbol opposite.
The explosion-proof status of the pump set is only assured if the pump set is used in
accordance with its intended use.
Never operate the pump set outside the limits stated in the data sheet and on the
name plate.
Prevent impermissible modes of operation.
2.10.1 Marking
Pump The marking on the pump refers to the pump part only.
Example of such marking:
II 2 G c TX (EN 13463-1) or II 2G Ex h IIC T5-T1 Gb (ISO 80079-36)
Refer to the individual Temperature Limits table for the temperatures permitted for
the individual pump variants.
The pump complies with the requirements of type of protection constructional safety
"c" to ISO80079-37.
Shaft coupling An EC manufacturer's declaration is required for the shaft coupling; the shaft
coupling must be marked accordingly.
Motor The motor must be considered separately.
2.10.2 Temperature limits
In normal pump operation, the highest temperatures are to be expected at the
surface of the pump casing, at the shaft seal and in the bearing areas.
The surface temperature at the pump casing corresponds to the temperature of the
fluid handled. If the pump is heated in addition, the operator of the system is
responsible for observing the specified temperature class and fluid temperature
(operating temperature).
The table below lists the temperature classes and the resulting theoretical
temperature limits of the fluid handled (a potential temperature rise in the shaft seal
area has been taken into account).

Temperature class T4 In the area of the rolling element bearings, based on an ambient temperature of
40°C and assuming proper service and operation, compliance with the requirements
of temperature class T4 is warranted. If the ambient temperature exceeds 40 °C,
contact the manufacturer.
Temperature classes T5 / T6 A special design is required to comply with the requirements of temperature classes T
5 / T6 in the bearing area.
Misuse, malfunctions or non-compliance with the instructions may result in
substantially higher temperatures. If the pump is to be operated at a higher
temperature or if there is no data sheet, contact the pump manufacturer and ask for
the maximum permissible operating temperature.
2.10.3 Monitoring equipment
The pump (set) must only be operated within the limits specified in the data sheet
and on the name plate.
If the system operator cannot warrant compliance with these operating limits,
appropriate monitoring devices must be used.
Check whether monitoring equipment is required to ensure that the pump set
functions properly.
Contact KSB for further information about monitoring equipment.
2.10.4 Operating limits
The minimum flows indicated in (ðSection6.6.3.1,Page66) refer to water and
water-like fluids handled. Longer operating periods with these fluids and at the flow
rates indicated will not cause an additional increase in the temperatures at the pump
surface. However, if the physical properties of the fluids handled are different from
water, it is essential to check whether an additional heat build-up may occur and if
the minimum flow rate must therefore be increased. The calculation formula in
(ðSection6.6.3.1,Page66) can be used to check whether additional heat build-up
may lead to a dangerous temperature increase at the pump surface.
2.10.5 Repair
