Document No. D155-00-201-IS           Issue 3          28-11-22                       Sheet 4 of 5                                                                                            

 

Internal earthing connections on AC units should be made to 
the Internal Earth terminal on the PCBA. The earth conductor 
should  be  at  least  equal  in  size  and  rating  to  the  incoming 
power conductors. 
 
External earthing connections should be made to the M4 
earth stud, using a ring crimp terminal to secure the earth 
conductor to the earth stud between the two M4 stainless 
steel flat washers, then reassemble the M4 spring washer 
and tighten the M4 nut to ensure that the cable lug is secured 
against loosening and twisting. The external earth conductor 
should be at least 4mm

 in size. 

 

7.3. Cable Glands, Blanking Elements and Adapters 

 

The cable entry temperature may 70ºC or the cable 
branching  point  temperature  may  exceed  80ºC  at  high 
ambient  temperatures  and  therefore  suitable  heat  resisting 
cables  and  cable  glands  must  be  used,  rated  80

°

C  for 

ambient  temperatures  of  55

°

C  and  rated  95

°

C  for  ambient 

temperatures of 70

°

C.

 

 

Cable Glands 

 

The cable gland entries have an M20 x 1.5 entry thread. Only 
suitably  rated  and  ATEX  /  IECEx  /  UKEX  certified  cable 
glands  which  must  be  suitable  for  the  type  of  cable  being 
used. 
 

Blanking Plugs 

 
When  only  one  cable  entry  is  used  the  other  entry  must  be 
closed with suitably rated and ATEX / IECEx / UKEX certified 
blanking plugs. 
 
For combustible dust applications, the cable entry device and 
blanking elements shall be in type of explosion protection and 
shall have an IP 6X rating. 
 

Ingress Protection 

 
If  a  high  IP  (Ingress  Protection)  rating  is  required  then  a 
suitable sealing washer must be fitted under the cable glands 
or blanking plugs.  
 
A  minimum  ingress  protection  rating  of  IP6X  must  be 
maintained for installations in explosive dust atmospheres. 
 

Adapters 

 
The GNEx Beacon Range can be supplied with the following 
types of adapters: 
 

M20 to ½” NPT 
M20 to ¾” NPT 
M20 to M25 

 
It  is  important  to  note  that  stopping  plugs  cannot  be  fitted 
onto adapters, only directly onto the M20 entries. 
 
Any other adapters used must be suitably rated as per the 
applicable standards. 
 
If the installation is made using conduit, openings must have 
a sealing fitting connected as close as practical to the wall of 
the  enclosure,  but  in  no  case  more  than  the  size  of  the 
conduit or 50mm, whichever is the lesser. 
 
 

8) 

Flash Patterns (DC Units Only)

 

 

 

 

 
The  GNExB1X05  DC  beacons  can  produce  three  different 
flash  patterns  as  listed  below.  The  flash  patterns  are  set 
internally  by  the  selection  of  pin  headers.  The  flash  pattern 
set can be changed externally to produce a second stage by 
connecting terminal S2 to –ve supply line whilst powering the 
+ve and –ve supply terminals. 
 
The AC Beacons only flash at 1Hz.

Synchronised Operation 

 

All  GNExBG1X05  beacons  that  are  connected  to  the  same 
supply  line  will  have  a  synchronised  flash  rate  at  one  flash 
every  second.  To  ensure  that  the  units  will  be  synchronised 
check that the pin header is set to 1Hz (see Figure 5). 
 

9)  End of Line Monitoring (DC Units) 

 

On the 

GNExBG1X05 

DC beacons, dc reverse line monitoring 

can  be  used  if  required.  All  DC  units  have  a  blocking  diode 
fitted  in  their  supply  input  lines.  An  end  of  line  monitoring 
diode or an end of line monitoring resistor can be connected 
across the +ve and –ve terminals in the flameproof chamber. 
If  an  end  of  line  resistor  is  used  it  must  have  a  minimum 
resistance  value  of  3k3  ohms  and  a  minimum  wattage  of 
0.5W  or  a  minimum  resistance  value  of  500  ohms  and  a 
minimum wattage of 2W. 
 

10) Maintenance, Overhaul and Repair 

 

Maintenance,  repair  and  overhaul  of  the  equipment  should 
only  be  carried  out  by  suitably  qualified  personnel  in 
accordance with the current relevant standards: 
 

EN60079-19/IEC60079-19  Explosive  atmospheres  -  Equipment 
repair, overhaul and reclamation 
EN60079-17/IEC60079-17 

 Explosive  atmospheres  -  Electrical 

installations inspection and maintenance 

 
Units must not be opened while an explosive atmosphere is 
present. 
 
Electrostatic charging hazard - Clean only with a damp cloth.
