5) Special Conditions for Safe Use
Repair of the flameproof threaded joints and cemented joints
is not permitted.
Figure 1: Flame Path.
The metallic enclosure has a non-conductive coating. These
may generate an ignition-capable level of electrostatic charges
under certain extreme conditions. The user should ensure that
the equipment is not installed in a location where it may be
subjected to external conditions that might cause a build-up of
electrostatic charges on non-conducting surfaces.
All entries must be fitted with a suitable seal at the interface
with enclosure.
6) Product Mounting and Access
6.1. Location and Mounting
The location of the beacons should be made with due regard
to the area over which the warning signal must be visible. They
should only be fixed to services that can carry the weight of the
unit.
STExB2X21 models shall not be mounted with the lamp down.
The STEx beacons should be securely bolted to a flat surface
using 9.0mm diameter bolt holes in the base of the unit. See
figure 2.
Figure 2: Fixing Location for B2 Beacon.
6.2. Access to the Flameproof Enclosure
Warning – Hot surfaces. External
surfaces and internal components
may be hot after operation, take
care when handling the equipment.
In order to connect the electrical supply cables to the beacon
it is necessary to remove the flameproof cover to gain access
to the flameproof chamber. To access the Ex d chamber,
loosen the M4 grub screw on the beacon cover. Open the
enclosure by turning the beacon cover counterclockwise and
remove the cover, taking extreme care not to damage the
flameproof threads in the process (See figure 3).
Figure 3: Accessing the Explosion Proof Enclosure.
On completion of the installation, the flameproof threaded joint
should be inspected to ensure that they are clean and that they
have not been damaged during installation.
Repair of the flame path / flameproof joints is not permitted.
Ensure that the ‘O’ ring seal is in place.
When fitting the flameproof cover ensure the thread is
engaged correctly. Fully tighten the cover all the way, ensure
no gap is visible between the cover and base of the beacon
enclosure. Tighten the M4 grub screw.
