For applications located in a Combustible Dust Atmosphere; a warning shall be marked
on the equipment stating that combustible dust shall be removed from the interior prior
to switching on the electrical supply. The marking shall include the following or similar:
WARNING: POWER SHALL NOT BE RESTORED AFTER THE
ENCLOSURE HAS BEEN OPENED UNTIL COMBUSTIBLE DUST
ACCUMULATIONS WITHIN THE ENCLOSURE HAVE BEEN REMOVED.
Electrical equipment mounted inside pressurized enclosure may have hot surfaces that
exceed the ignition temperature of the flammable or combustible substance located in
the hazardous location; even when power has been removed. Take appropriate
precautions to prevent injury from contact with hot items or damage to equipment and to
allow for adequate cooling; the equipment shall be marked with instructions that include
the following or similar.
WARNING: DO NOT OPEN ENCLOSURE DOOR OR COVER FOR
____ MINUTES AFTER REMOVING POWER.
Electrical Power:
The CYCLOPS Z – Purge Indicator uses AC power of 115 or 230 volts and DC power of
12 or 24. The AC power is converted to DC. Appropriate precautions must be taken to
prevent sparks that may ignite combustible materials that may be present in the Purge
Indicator’s environment. Precautions must also be taken to prevent electrical shock if
the electrical equipment’s enclosure being monitored by the CYCLOPS Z – Purge
Indicator is opened. The power to the CYCLOPS Z – Purge Indicator must be free from
noise, surges, sags, and spikes for proper operation of the purge indicator. AC power
circuit breakers and wiring must be sized properly for the required current. All wiring
installations must meet applicable electrical codes.
WARNING: Do not connect of disconnect CYCLOPS Z – Purge
Indicator when energized.
System Location:
The CYCLOPS Z – Purge Indicator must not be installed in an area classification for
which it is not rated and must be protected from temperature extremes and potentially
high vibration. The CYCLOPS Z – Purge Indicator must be attached securely and
appropriately to the wall of the electrical equipment’s enclosure being monitored per the
mounting instructions page 13 and mounted in a location to permit adequate viewing of
green indicator light and to permit proper purge exhaust venting.
