4. General Information

PNEG-2175CE
CE Compliant Sampler - Model GCE 45 and GCE 90
7. Sampling volatile, explosive or highly flammable materials.
8. Use other than when connected directly to a material handling system.
9. Use with either the inlet or outlet exposed such that moving parts can be reached.
10. Use with manual filling of emptying.
11. Use when modified in any way.
12. Use in environmental conditions contrary to those marked on the rating plate.
13. Use underground or in mining processes.
14. Sampling of clean, dust free material is inherent to reducing the risk of a potentiality explosive dust
air mixture forming inside the sampler.
15. Where high levels of dust are anticipated inside the sampler, ventilation and extraction should be
used to reduce concentrations.
16. Operators should be aware of health risks from dusts, mould and other biological agents from
the materials being sampled. Overall design of the facility in which the sampler operates shall
minimize this exposure and personal protective equipment (PPE) shall be used to further reduce
risks if required.
NOTE:
The sampler may be installed or used in a potentially explosive environment ONLY when specified
as such by GSI and when carrying the relevant ATEX rating. Refer to the ATEX Compliance that
follows.
Electrical Safety
Equipment shall include:
1. Fuse protected main power supply.
a. The electrical supply should include earth leakage protection, ex: residual current device (RCD)
or residual current circuit breaker (RCCB), to provide automatic disconnection in the event of a
fault.
2. Lockable main safety disconnect.
a. Disconnects all electrical power.
3. Lockable motor service disconnect.
a. Adjacent to each motor (or group of motors).
b. Disconnects all power to the motors.
