DESCRIPTION
ATEX MARKING
On the pump that accompanies this manual you should locate a label
like the one shown in the figure below. This label includes the following
information (do not use the pump in an ATEX atmosphere if it does not
have such a label):
Ex:
Indicates that it is possible to use this pump in a potentially
explosive atmosphere.
II:
Indica el grupo al que corresponde la bomba. El Grupo II indica que este
equipo puede ser utilizado en instalaciones de superficie donde existe riesgo
de formación de una atmósfera explosiva.
2:
Indicates the category within the group corresponding to the equipment.
Equipment Category 2 indicates a High Protection Level (Use of equipment
in Zones 1 and 2 for Gas and Zones 21 and 22 for Dust).
Equipment Category 2 within Group II is equipment intended to operate
within the operating parameters set by the manufacturer and ensures a high
level of protection for its intended use in locations where explosive
atmospheres due to mixtures of air with gases, vapours, mists and where
air/dust mixtures are likely to occur. Explosion protection ensures an
adequate level of safety, even in the event of malfunctions or work under
hazardous conditions which normally have to be taken into account.
G:
Type of atmosphere Gas. Indicates that the pump can be used in a
potentially explosive atmosphere due to gas, vapour or mist.
D:
Type of atmosphere Dust. Indicates that the pump can be used in a
potentially explosive atmosphere due to Dust.
CAREFULLY READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS BEFORE STARTING TO OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT
!
LOM 22.409N-C X
h:
It indicates that the pump has construction safety protection because
it is a non-electrical piece of equipment. No additional protection
mode is applied.
IIB/IIC:
Indicates the explosion group of gases that can form the explosive
atmosphere for which this pump is suitable (in these instructions, conditions
necessary for the use of the pump with each explosion group are noted). In
particular, these groups refer to Flammable Gases (Ethylene) and Highly
Flammable Gases (Hydrogen) respectively.
IIIB:
Indicates the explosion group of dusts that can form the explosive
atmosphere for which the pump is suitable. In particular this group refers to
combustible airborne particles and non-conductive dust.
T6…T5 (Gas) / T85°C…T100°C (Polvo):
Indicates the limitation
imposed by SAMOA Industrial for the use of the pump with Group IIB and
IIC gases and Group IIIB dusts. The maximum surface temperature that the
equipment will reach in normal operation or with foreseeable faults will
always be lower than 85ºC and 100ºC respectively, without posing a risk of
ignition for the groups of gases and dusts indicated. The above indications
must be respected at all times and under no circumstances must the process
temperature limits indicated in this manual be exceeded.
Gb:
High Protection Level for Gas Atmosphere. Indicates that the
equipment does not contain any source of effective ignition during normal
operation and foreseeable malfunctions. The zones of application of the
equipment are Zone 1 (location where an explosive gas atmosphere is likely
to occur in normal operation) and Zone 2 (location where an explosive gas
atmosphere is not likely to occur in normal operation and if it does occur it
is likely to occur only infrequently and for short periods of time).
Db:
High Protection Level for Dust atmosphere. Indicates that the equipment
does not contain any source of effective ignition during normal operation and
foreseeable malfunctions. The zones of application for the equipment are Zone
21 (location where a combustible dust cloud atmosphere is likely to occur in
the air in normal operation) and Zone 22 (location where a combustible dust
cloud atmosphere is not likely to occur in the air in normal operation and if it
does occur it is likely to occur only infrequently and for short periods of time).
LOM YY.###:
Indicates the reference number (name of the issuer of the
certificate and its reference) of the technical documentation that has been
deposited with the notified body (see declaration of conformity).
X:
The letter “X” positioned after the certificate reference number indicates
special conditions of safe use which are conveyed by these operating
instructions to the end user.
The pump you have purchased can be used in a potentially explosive
atmosphere (ATEX). The European Directive 2014/34/EU sets out
essential health and safety requirements for the use of equipment and
protective systems in these atmospheres and leaves the technical
expression of the requirements contained therein to the harmonised
European standards. SAMOA Industrial S.A. has followed a procedure
by means of which it demonstrates the conformity of the product to
which this manual accompanies with these requirements. This process
has consisted of the preparation and subsequent deposit of the required
technical documentation in the notified body mentioned in the
declaration of conformity together with an internal control of production.
Equipment intended for use in this type of atmosphere must have
specific marking which is an essential tool for the end user for the
correct location and use of the pump. The contents of the marking on
ATEX compliant UP (UP03/UP05/UP10/UP15) pumps are explained
below. Remember never to use a UP (UP03/UP05/UP10/UP15) pump
that is not marked with this label in a potentially explosive atmosphere,
as the design of the UP (UP03/UP05/UP10/UP15) pumps intended for
ATEX use has been partially modified for this purpose.
Please also remember that when pumping certain fluids, a broken
diaphragm would mean that the area where the pump is placed
becomes a potentially explosive atmosphere. Stop the pump
immediately in case of diaphragm rupture.
