3. Commissioning, installation
Depending on the IP degree of protection, the time for cleaning the equipment (dust
deposits) must be specified. Other important facts:
a) The product may be put into operation in Zone 2 (Cat. 3G, EPL Gc)
or in Zone 22 (Cat. 3D, EPL Dc in intrinsically safe circuits only by
specialists with a qualification similar to a qualified person according
to TRBS 1203.
b) The requirements for simple electrical equipment that apply to the
hazardous area of Zones 1/21 according to EN 60079-11 are fulfilled.
c) The products may only be used in the usual industrial atmosphere.
In the presence of aggressive substances in the air, the manufacturer
must always be consulted. The products must be adequately
protected in adverse environmental conditions.
d) Operation of the product is only permitted in fully assembled and
undamaged enclosures. In case of possible damage, a zone
carryover may have to be considered by the operator; Moreover,
operation of the housing is not permitted if the housing is damaged.
e) The environmental conditions specified in the operating instructions
must be adhered to and protected against adverse environmental
conditions.
f) Heat radiation from foreign products / components must also be
considered.
g) The reed switch must be protected against inadmissible access of
liquids and / or soiling.
h) Fixed parts (e.g. due to frost or corrosion) must not be loosened by
force in the presence of an explosive atmosphere. Icing must
therefore be avoided.
i) The reed switch may only be subjected to minor vibrations, see also
IEC 34-14.
j) To ensure the discharge of electrostatic charges, the national
requirements must be considered.
k) In particular, isolated capacities must be prevented.
l) Only those zener barriers or switching amplifiers may be used whose
output circuits are approved / tested for use in potentially explosive
atmospheres. In Europe, use in Zones 1/21 requires an EC type-
examination certificate for the equipment concerned issued by a body
designated for explosion protection.
m) The voltage of the supply units must be less than or equal to the
voltage Ui of the reed switch.
n) The total current Io of the supply units must be less than or equal to
the current Ii of the reed switch.
o) For the installation of the intrinsically safe circuit, a control drawing
(system description) to be created by the installer / operator is
required.
p) Equipotential bonding must be established along the intrinsically safe
circuit when using a grounded supply.
q) The certificates must be taken into account, including the special
conditions specified therein.
r) Resistant parts of the product (e.g. due to frost or corrosion) must not
be forcibly loosened in the presence of an explosive atmosphere.
