SERVICE, MAINTENANCE & DISPOSAL
12.1 Equipment Service
During service, a number of external system based checks should be completed on a regular basis.
These ‘routine inspections’ must be carried out by suitably trained people with knowledge of the ISUPS
and the systems into which it is fitted. Routine inspections may take the form of either visual-only checks,
or visual and ‘hands-on’ checks.
The ISUPS requires an overhaul every 3 years.
12.1.1 Visual Only Inspections
A basic visual inspection focuses on looking at the installation for signs of physical damage, water or
dust ingress and the condition of cables and labels. This type of inspection may involve opening cabinets
to gain access to the ISUPS and other equipment. This level of inspection may also include cleaning
display windows that have become obscured by dirt.
For a list of r
equired visual inspections for Ex “e” enclosures, refer to AS/NZS 60079.17.
CAUTION!
The ISUPS enclosure and display window must only be cleaned using
anti-static cleaning materials. Do not clean the ISUPS with any cleaning
products that may cause the build-up of static charge.
Observations would typically be:
Check that equipment enclosures, cable trays, conduits, etc. are in good order with no physical
damage.
Check that sealed wall boxes are free from water and dust ingress internally. Door seals are in
good condition.
Check that connected cables are free from cuts, abrasions and obvious signs of damage. Cable
restraints are in good order and correctly fitted.
Check that labels on equipment, wall boxes and cables are present and in good condition
(especially certification labels).
Check that no modifications have been carried out to installed equipment.
12.1.2 Hands-On (Detailed) Inspections
A more detailed inspection would include all of the elements of a visual inspection, plus some checks
that cover the integrity of connections, fixtures and fittings.
In
addition
to basic visual observations, more detailed integrity checks would involve:
Verify that equipment housings, wall boxes and other mechanical fixtures are secured in place.
This includes terminal box lids, tightness of cable glands, integrity of wall-box mountings, security
of equipment fixing to walls/DIN rails etc.
Verify all electrical connections are secure with no loose screw terminals or DIN rail terminals not
fitted to rails etc.
Verify that the terminal compartment O-rings and seal arrangements are intact, effective and
show no signs of degradation such as flat spots, splits or cracks.
For a list of required tasks for a detailed inspection of
Ex “e” enclosures, refer to AS/NZS 60079.17.
