5) Special Conditions of Use
When used for a Group III application, the surface of the
enclosure may store electrostatic charge and become a
source of ignition in applications with a low relative humidity
<~30% relative humidity where the surface is relatively free of
surface contamination such as dirt, dust, or oil.
Guidance on protection against the risk of ignition due to
electrostatic discharge can be found in EN TR50404 and IEC
TR60079-32.
End user shall adhere to the manufacturer’s installation and
instruction when performing housekeeping to avoid the
potential for hazardous electrostatic charges during cleaning,
by using a damp cloth.
To maintain the ingress protection rating and mode of
protection, the cable entries must be fitted with suitably rated,
certified cable entry and/or blanking devices during
installation.
The equipment incorporates metal parts isolated from earth,
having capacitance values exceeding the limits permitted in
the standards of certification. Mounting bracket – 10.33pF;
Lens guard – 12.33pF.
The equipment shall only be used in an area of at least
pollution degree 2, as defined in IEC 60664-1.
6) Production Location and Access
6.1.
Location and Mounting
The location of the beacon should be made with due regard
to the area over which the warning signal must be audible.
They should only be fixed to services that can carry the
weight of the unit.
The E2x beacon should be secured to any flat surface using
the three 7mm fixing holes on the stainless steel U shaped
mounting bracket. See Figure 1. The required angle can be
achieved by loosening the two large bracket screws in the
side of the unit, which allow adjustment of the beacon in
steps of 18°. On completion of the installation the two large
bracket adjustment screws on the side of the unit must be
fully tightened to ensure that the unit cannot move in service.

Access to the Enclosure
Warning – High voltage may be
present, risk of electric shock.
DO NOT open when energised,
disconnect power before opening.
Warning – Hot surfaces. External
surfaces and internal components
may be hot after operation, take
care when handling the equipment.
To access the enclosure, remove the four M4 posi pan head
screws, M4 spring and plain washers and withdraw the cover.
Fig. 2 Accessing the Enclosure.
To replace cover, check that the ‘O’ ring seal is in place.
Carefully push the cover in place. Insert and tighten down M4
screws, spring and plain washers in the order shown above
and tighten down.
7) Selection of Cable. Cable Glands, Blanking
Elements & Adapters
When selecting the cable size, consideration must be given
to the input current that each unit draws (see Table 1), the
number of sounders on the line and the length of the cable
runs. The cable size selected must have the necessary
capacity to provide the input current to all of the sounders
connected to the line.
The dual entries can be ordered with one of the following
options:
2-off M20 x 1.5 thread
2-off ½” NPT thread
1-off M20 x 1.5 & 1-off ½” NPT thread
To maintain the ingress protection rating and mode of
protection, the cable entries must be fitted with suitably rated,
certified cable entry and/or blanking devices during
installation.
For ambient temperatures over +40ºC the cable entry
temperature may exceed +70ºC or the cable branching
temperature may exceed +80ºC. Therefore suitable heat
resisting cables and cable glands must be used as per table
below

to be customer supplied)
