2.4 Use and inspection
2.4.1 IECEx certificate of conformity
The BTLs have been certified by Bureau Veritas under
certificate number IECEX EPS 17.0008 X. The current
issue of the certificate and further information can be found
in the “Certified Equipment Scheme” section at
www.iecex.com.
The certificate number is indicated on the part label.
2.4.2 Special conditions (“X” symbol)
The “X” symbol indicates special conditions that must be
noted for safe operation:
– The permissible ambient temperature is limited to
–40 °C...+60 °C.
– Cable and line inlets were tested with reduced tensile
force in accordance with EN 60079-0. This is why the
connection cable must be routed in a permanent
location and protected against tension and rotary loads
using an additional clamp. Drag chains may not be
used.
2.4.3 Operator documents
Zone classification in the system is the responsibility of the
operator and must be documented in an explosion
protection document. This document must also contain
the hazard analysis and assessment, proof of training,
maintenance plans and other documents as required
under Directive 1999/92/EC.
We expressly recommend including the user’s guide in the
operator’s documentation. For safety reasons, it must be
taken over completely and without any changes.
2.5 Assembly, installation, and setup
Assembly, installation, and setup of the connection
housing must not be done in an explosive atmosphere.
The BTL and connection housing must be protected from
damage and wear. In addition to mechanical protection,
this also includes precautions to prevent non-permissible
operating conditions and damage due to environmental
influences.
The connection housing BAM PC-TL-020-… of the
BTL7-…-ZA1K must not be disconnected under power in
explosion hazard areas! This warning label is therefore
fixed to the connection housing:
2.6 Maintenance, inspection, repair
The measuring principle used in the BTL is maintenance-
free and wear-free. The operator must regularly inspect the
BTL for signs of damage or malfunctions in line with the
operating conditions and environmental influences. If any
damage or wear is found, the BTL must be immediately
taken out of operation.
Only service technicians from Balluff GmbH may repair
defective BTL. Intervention in the product by the operator
is not permitted due to safety reasons.
2.7 General safety notes
Never loosen the cable fitting!
When installing verify that the plug contact is clean and
undamaged.
Protect the BTL from damage and wear. In addition to
mechanical protection, this also includes precautions to
prevent damage due to environmental influences.
