ATEX - Spark Formation
Increased danger of ignition may emanate from
clashing of special material pairings. These are non
corrosion-resistant steel or cast iron against aluminium,
magnesium or pertinent alloys. This applies especially
in case of rust or surface rust. When assembling the
product and inserting fastening components; they must
be clear of rust and debris of any kind. Care must be
taken to ensure the product is handled in a suitable
manner and is never thrown, and always placed, onto
the ground.
ATEX - Static Electricity
For Zone 2 applications static electricity has been
identified as potential for build up leading to an incendive
spark. Although the risk of such ignition is unlikely the
gantry must be earthed during assembly and use. This
can be achieved by attaching a 4mm earthing lead to a
convenient location on metallic parts of both the Gantry
and Trolley.
In Zone 1 applications, for added explosion protection,
the gantry is fitted with anti-static trolley rollers,
electrically conductive castors and therefore does not
need to be earthed.
ATEX - Inspection, Maintenance &
Repair
If using the gantry in explosive atmospheres, in addition
to the regular inspection/maintenance information
found on page 6, these additional instructions should be
followed.
Inspections shall be instigated by the user and occur
at least 6 monthly or sooner if adverse operating
conditions or profile of use dictate shorter periods.
Inspections and maintenance shall be carried out at
a safe distance away from an explosive atmosphere.
Special attention should be given to dust deposits on the
structure, especially in areas where the profiles come
into contact, and should be wiped clean and care taken
not to apply materials that could create electrostatic
charging. Additionally the bearings in the trolley rollers
and castors should be checked to ensure they rotate
freely. The structure is predominantly constructed from
aluminium which will not rust. However there are steel
components used throughout. These are the fasteners,
castors, master-link, trolley rollers, A-frame height
adjustment gearing system (if fitted) and the height
adjustment ratchet (if fitted). Where there is sign of
any rust deposits on the aluminium structure it should
be wiped clean as above and where there is sign
of rust
on a steel component then that component should be
removed from use and the structure not used until a
replacement is fitted.
LANGUAGE
It is essential for the safety of the user that if this product
is re-sold outside the original country of destination the
reseller shall provide instructions for use, maintenance,
for periodic examination and for repair in the language of
the country in which the product is to be used.
