Installation Instructions

Ex/HazLoc Applications

WARNING:

• Explosive Atmospheres/Hazardous Locations

• The user has the responsibility to ensure that all local, state, and national laws, rules, codes, or regulations

relating to the installation and use of this Banner device in any particular application are satisfied. This

Banner device must be installed by Qualified Persons, in accordance with this document and applicable

regulations.

• A Qualified Person is a person who, by possession of a recognized degree or certificate of professional

training, or who, by extensive knowledge, training and experience, has successfully demonstrated the

ability to solve problems relating to the subject matter and work.

WARNING:

• Explosion Hazard

• Do not disconnect equipment unless the power has been switched off or the area is known to be non-

hazardous.

CAUTION: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

Special Conditions for Safe Use. Parts of the enclosure are non-conducting and may generate an ignition-capable

level of ESD. Cleaning of the equipment shall be done only with a damp cloth.

General Notes and Conditions for Safe Use:

• See Specifications and Wiring Diagrams for important information concerning entity parameters, permissible locations,

electrical connections and certifications.

• In addition to the warning above concerning user responsibility, the installation must comply with the following:

◦

All installations must comply with all manufacturer's instructions.

◦

appropriate ANSI/ISA-RP12.06.01 Installation of Intrinsically Safe Systems for Hazardous (Classified) Locations.

◦

Canadian Installations: The relevant requirements of the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA C22.1).

◦

ATEX and IECEx Installations: The relevant requirements of EN 60079-14 and applicable National regulations.

• Do not attempt any repairs to this Banner device; it contains no field-replaceable parts or components. Tampering and/or

replacement with non-factory components may adversely affect the safe use of the system.

• Approved Apparatus entity parameters must meet the following requirements:

◦

◦

◦

◦

• Sensor Entity Parameters:

◦

◦

◦

◦

• Cable Entity Parameters (if unknown):

◦

◦

• The ambient operating temperature range of the Sensors is −40 °C to +70 °C (−40 °F to +158 °F).

• For U.S. installations, Class II and III, Division 2 applies only to model numbers ending in a Q suffix.

• For intrinsically safe installations, sensors must be used with certified intrinsically safe switching amplifiers and barriers

(Approved Apparatus) with intrinsically safe circuits that limit supply voltage and current in the event of failures.

• Associated Apparatus is not required for installation of the devices within a Division 2 hazardous (classified) location when

installed per the National Electrical Code. The maximum voltage for Division 2 installation is 15 V dc. In Division 2 installations

(without Associated Apparatus), observe Explosion Hazard warning at the beginning of this section.

• Associated Apparatus is not required for installation of the devices within a Division 2 hazardous (classified) location when

installed in, or through the wall of a suitable enclosure with provision for connection of rigid metal conduit per the Canadian

Electrical Code, as acceptable to the local inspection authority having jurisdiction. The maximum rating for Division 2

installation is 15 V dc, 60 mA. In Division 2 installations (without Associated Apparatus), observe Explosion Hazard warning at

the beginning of this section.

• Maximum non-hazardous area voltage that the Approved Apparatus (intrinsically safe circuit) is connected to must not exceed

250 V.

• Intrinsic safety ground, if required for the Associated Apparatus, shall be less than 1 ohm.

• Maximum connector torque: 6 ft-lbs.
