1.2.4 Safety regulations for Ex-approved products in potentially explosive
atmospheres
Description of ATEX
The ATEX directives are a specification enforced in Europe for electrical and non-electrical equipment.
ATEX deals with the control of potentially explosive atmospheres and the standards of equipment and
protective systems used within these atmospheres. The relevance of the ATEX requirements is not limit-
ed to Europe. You can apply these guidelines to equipment installed in any potentially explosive atmos-
phere.
Guidelines for compliance
Compliance is only fulfilled when the pump is operated within its intended use, for example within its in-
tended hydraulic range. The conditions of the service must not be changed without approval of an au-
thorized ITT representative. When installing or maintaining explosion-proof pumps, follow these guide-
lines:
•
Always install ATEX-approved equipment in compliance with the directive and applicable stand-
ards.
•
Do not install explosion proof products in locations that are classified as hazardous in the national
electric code, ANSI/NFPA 70–2005.
WARNING:
Risk of serious personal injury. Applying heat to impellers, propellers, or their retaining devices
can cause trapped liquid to rapidly expand and result in a violent explosion. This manual clear-
ly identifies accepted methods for disassembling units. These methods must be adhered to.
Never apply heat to aid in their removal unless explicitly stated in this manual.
If there are any questions regarding these requirements, the intended use, or if the equipment requires
modification, contact an ITT representative before you proceed.
Personnel requirements
ITT disclaims all responsibility for work done by untrained and unauthorized personnel.
These are the personnel requirements for Ex-approved products in potentially explosive atmospheres:
•
All work on the product must be carried out by certified electricians and ITT-authorized
mechanics. Special rules apply to installations in explosive atmospheres.
