ADS ECHO Manual
Safe (IS). Special design, testing, quality, and inspection rules apply to manufacturers and users of IS
equipment due to the critical nature of its deployment in hazardous areas. Areas where hazardous
conditions can be expected to be present on a constant basis are classified (rated) as Zone 0 (equivalent to
Class I, Division 1, Groups C & D, in North America).
The
ECHO
has been certified under ATEX European Intrinsic Safety standards for Zone 0 rated hazardous
areas.
The
ECHO
has also been certified under IECEx (International Electrotechnical Commission Explosion
Proof) Intrinsic Safety standards for use in Zone 0 (equivalent to Class I, Division 1, Groups C & D) rated
hazardous areas.
The
ECHO
monitor has been CSA certified to:
CLASS – C225803 – PROCESS CONTROL
EQUIPMENT
– Intrinsically Safe – For Hazardous Locations – Certified to Canadian Standards;
CLASS
– C225883 – PROCESS CONTROL EQUIPMENT
– Intrinsically Safe – For Hazardous Locations –
Certified to US Standards; Class I, Division 1, Groups C and D, T3 (152°C); Ex ia IIB T3 (152°C) Ga;
Class I Zone 0 AEx ia T3 (152°C) Ga.
It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the certification(s) provided for the ADS equipment meets
applicable regulatory requirements.
ECHO System Certification
The
ECHO
monitor is certified for use only with approved ADS battery packs and communication cables.
Connection of any non-approved devices could result in unsafe operation and will immediately void the
warranty and IS certification.
The sensors housed in the
ECHO
monitor are approved IS sensors.
Power
The
ECHO
is powered by an internal 9-volt battery pack (ADS p/n 9000-0004).
Note:
Using a battery pack that is
not
ADS p/n 9000-0004 will void the warranty and IS
certification of the monitor.
Telemetry
Wireless communication is available to the
ECHO
monitor through an antenna and internal Telit
®
UMTS/HSPA+/GSM modem; or Telit
®
4G LTE Cat M1 modem.
Installation and IS Considerations
When installing the
ECHO
monitor, carefully follow any local regulations for installing IS equipment. For
example, many clients only allow the use of special hazardous area tools (flashlights, radios, etc.) in
manholes. Some clients will not allow the use of an electric drill, either battery-powered or AC-powered,
in a manhole. In this case, air (i.e. pneumatic) tools must be used. When in doubt as to the applicable
regulations, check with the client or the client’s designated safety representative.
Special Conditions for Safe Use
During the ATEX/IECEx/CSA approval process, certain conditions are set forth that must be observed
when using the certified equipment. These Special Conditions for Safe Use can be found in the body of
each certification (referenced in this manual), as well as on a page attached to the Declaration of
Conformity. Following is a summary of these Safe Use Instructions:
