Once the screws are removed the cover will hang
down out of the way to gain access to the Ex e
terminal block, the internal earth terminal and
mounting hole recesses.
6)
Earthing
The unit has both internal and external earth
terminals.
It is recommended that a cable crimp lug is used
on the earth wires.
The internal earth wire is placed under a earth
clamp which will stop the cable twisting. This is
secured by an M4 screw and spring washer.
The external earth lug should be located between
the two M5 washers provided and securely locked
down with the M5 spring washer and two locknuts.

Note: Depending on options chosen an 8-Way DIN
Rail or 6-Way terminal block may be selected.
7)
Cable connections
There are 3 off cable entry holes suitable for
M20x1.5 Ex e approved cable glands or stopping
plugs
The unit can be wired in a number of different ways
depending on the resistor combination selected.
For detail, refer to wiring schematic D150-06-051.

When wiring to Increased Safety terminal
enclosures, you are only permitted to connect one
wire into each way on the terminal block, unless a
pair of wires are crimped into a suitable ferrule.
For the six-way terminal block wire sizes allowable
are 0.5mm² to 4.0mm². For the 8-way DIN rail wire
sizes allowable are 0.5mm² to 2.5mm².
Leads connected to the terminals shall be insulated
for the appropriate voltage and this insulation shall
extend to within 1mm of the metal of the terminal
throat. They shall only be installed and wired with
cable in an ambient temperature of -10°C to +80°C
All terminal screws, used or unused, shall be
tightened down to between 0.5 Nm and 0.7 Nm
7.1) Fitted LED, Diode or Zener Diode
If a diode module is pre-fitted as either an EOL or
series device, the following current limitation
applies:

If a Zener diode module is pre-fitted as either EOL
or Series device, the following current limitation
applies:

In any scenario, the lowest value of maximum
current should be used. For example, if the unit
has both a diode and a Zener diode, the Zener
diode would determine the maximum input current
of the unit, since its max. current is lowest.
8)
Testing unit operation
The break Glass unit can be tested without the
need to break/replace the frangible glass element.
A test key is used to mechanically drop the glass
down activating the switch.
The test key is inserted in the test cam and rotated
clockwise by an angle of 60º the glass element will
visibly drop down in the viewable window.
The call point switch will now change over its
contacts to operate the alarm.
Once testing is complete the unit needs to be
reset, the test key is rotated back anticlockwise by
an angle of 60º back to its original position. The
glass element should now raise up so it is level
again in the viewable window.

9)
Replacement of glass element
If the break glass unit has been operated the
broken glass element can be quickly replaced.
The break glass cover plate is removed by
unscrewing the 4 off M4 cap head screws attaching
it.
Once cover is removed the broken glass will be
free to be removed, clean out any other fragments
of glass carefully.
To fit the new glass element rotate the top cam
clockwise by an angle of 50º (use a 6mm Allen
key) this will than allow the glass to fit back into the
pocket it sits in, resting on the pivot point and test
cam, release the top cam to rest on the top of the
glass element.
Pivot point Test Cam Top Cam (rotate)
Replace the cover plate and tighten the 4 off M4
cap head screws.
Ensure the glass element is free to move under the
cover plate. This can be done by running through
the units test operation. See section 8 of this
instruction manual.
