Additional Notes
Installation shall be carried out in accordance with the applicable code of practice by suitably-trained personnel
.
If the equipment is likely to come into contact with aggressive substances, then it is the responsibility of the
user to take suitable precautions that prevent it from being adversely affected, thus ensuring that the type
of protection is not compromised.
For products other than PR3200 and PR3202 there are no special checking or maintenance conditions
other than a periodic check. These products which may have aluminium enclosures (powder coated)
should be located where friction sparks with steel objects are avoided. They should also be regularly
inspected to ensure the coating is not damaged
A A copy of certification marking as detailed on drawing number 8727.
B A copy of the EC type examination certificates TRAC12ATEX0060X V2, IECEXTRC12.0025X issue 01.
C Diagrams that may be necessary for safety, putting into service, maintenance, inspection etc.
D Where applicable, the address of the importer or repairer will be specified.

Aggressive substances
-
Suitable precautions
-
e.g. acidic liquids or gases that may attack metals or solvents that
may
affect polymeric materials.
e.g. regular checks as part of routine inspections or establishing from
the material's data sheet that it is resistant to specific chemicals
For the maximum cable lengths stated the cable capacitance shall not exceed 200pF/m otherwise the
overall capacitance of Ci plus the cable capacitance shall not exceed 83nF
The equipment may be used with flammable gases, vapours and dust with apparatus group IIC and with
temperature class T4. The apparatus is not permitted for use with dusts that have a layer smouldering
temperature of 135oC or less.
The equipment may be used above surface Group II and Group III and in mining zone Group I.
The equipment is only certified for use in ambient temperatures in the range -20oC to +70 oC and should
not be used outside this range.
Propagating brush discharges are caused by non-conducting fluid flow over a non-conducting plastic
surface. The product shall not be installed in areas where a high fluid flow may occur (for example in the
case of a ruptured process pipe or compressed air pipe).
All repairs are to be carried out by
Althen.
