Document No. D155-00-201-IS           Issue 3          28-11-22                       Sheet 3 of 5                                                                                            

 

6.2. Access to the Flameproof Enclosure 

 

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  M3  grub  screw  on  the  beacon  cover.  Open  the 
enclosure by turning the beacon cover counter-clockwise and 
remove  the  cover  taking  extreme  care  not  to  damage  the 
flameproof threads in the process (see figure 2). 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 

On  completion  of  the  installation  the  flameproof  threaded 
joints should be inspected to ensure that they are clean and 
that they have not been damaged during installation. 
 
Flameproof threaded joints are not intended to be repaired.  
 
Ensure that the ‘O’ ring seal is in place and undamaged. 
 
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 M3 grub screw. 

 

7)  Installation Requirements 

 

7.1. Installation Standards Compliance 

 

 

Attention: Disconnect from power 
source before installation or service 
to prevent electric shock. 

 

The  beacons  must  only  be  installed  by  suitably  qualified 
personnel in accordance with the latest issues of the relevant 
standards: 

 

EN60079-14  /  IEC60079-14:  Explosive  atmospheres  - 
Electrical installations design, selection and erection. 

 

EN60079-10-1 / IEC60079-10-1: Explosive  atmospheres  - 
Classification of areas. Explosive gas atmospheres. 
 
EN60079-10-2 / IEC60079-10-2: Explosive  atmospheres  - 
Classification of areas. Explosive dust atmospheres. 

 
The installation of the units must also be in accordance with 
any  local  codes  that  may  apply  and  should  only  be  carried 
out  by  a  competent  electrical  engineer  who  has  the 
necessary training.

 

 
 
 

7.2. Cable Selection and Connections 

 

When  selecting  the  cable  size,  consideration  must  be  given 
to  the  input  current  that  each  unit  draws,  the  number  of 
beacons  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  beacons  connected  to 
the line.  
 
Electrical connections are to be made into the terminal blocks 
on  the  PCBA.  A  five-way  terminal  block  is  provided  on  both 
AC and DC beacons. There are two live, two neutral and an 
Earth terminal for the input and output wiring on AC units. DC 
units have two +ve, two -ve and an S2 terminal for the input 
and output wiring. 
 
Wires having a cross sectional area of up to 2.5mm² can be 
connected to each terminal way. If an input and output wire is 
required the 2-off Live/Neutral or +/- terminals can be used. If 
fitting  2-off  wires  to  one  terminal  way  the  sum  of  the  2-off 
wires  must  be  a  maximum  cross  sectional  area  of  2.5mm². 
Strip  wires  to  8mm.  When  connecting  wires  to  the  terminals 
great  care  should  be  taken  to  dress  the  wires  so  that  when 
the cover is inserted into the chamber the wires do not exert 
excess  pressure  on  the  terminal  blocks.  This  is  particularly 
important when using cables with large cross sectional areas 
such as 2.5mm². 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Earthing 

 

Please note that for AC supply voltage product versions the 
Earth terminal on the PCBA does not provide an earth 
connection to the product enclosure. The enclosure must be 
independently earthed using either the external or internal 
earth fixing point, (see fig 3 and notes below). 

 

Both AC and DC beacon units can be connected to an earth. 
The  units  are  provided  with  internal  and  external  earth 
terminals  which  are  both  located  on  the  terminal  chamber 
section of the unit (see figures 3 and 4).
