Safety instructions
The distribution box may be used within the
specified temperature class and the tempera-
ture range indicated for it (see type label). The
distribution box is not suitable for use in Zones
0/20.
As for distribution boxes used in flammable
dust, the ignition temperature of the dust/air
mixture and the glowing temperature of the
dust concerned must be greater than the
maximum surface temperature of the distribu-
tion box taking into account of the given safety
factor specified in EN 60079-0.
The distribution box may be operated only if it
is clean and not damaged in any way. Dust
deposits > 5 mm (> 0.2 in) must be removed.
Utilization in areas other than those specified or
the modification of the product by anyone other
than the manufacturer is not permitted and will
exempt BARTEC Varnost from liability for
defects and any further liability.
The generally applicable statutory rules and
other binding directives relating to workplace
safety, accident prevention and environmental
protection must be observed.
Observe the applicable laws and directives
when commissioning or restarting operation.
Always follow the safety instructions on the
operating equipment.
Marking
Particularly important points in these instruc-
tions are marked with a symbol:
DANGER indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation

Transport, storage
Risk of injury due to heavy loads.
Use an appropriate carrying aid or an
appropriate means of transport (e.g. a fork-
lift) with an adequate load-carrying ability.
Ensure that the lifted load will not tip over
or slip off.
Damage through incorrect transport or
incorrect storage.
Transport the distribution box in original
packaging, handle with care, and do not
drop.
Store the distribution box dry in original
packaging.
Assembly, installation, and
commissioning
Risk of serious injury due to incorrect
proceedings.
Only
qualified
personnel
who
are
authorized and trained to assemble electri-
cal components in hazardous (potentially
explosive) areas may do any of the as-
sembly, disassembly, installation and
commissioning work.
For assembly and operation of explosion
protected electrical equipment, relevant in-
stallation and operating regulations are to
adhere (e.g. Betr.SichV, IEC/EN 60079-14
and series DIN VDE 0100).
The data on the label and the EEC design
test data are to be observed. Further tech-
nical information are provided in the Bartec
catalog and on the product itself.
User may not drill holes in the distribution
boxes and add terminals
Do not open the distribution box when
energized.
Assembly / disassembly
Death or serious injury because of a miss-
ing protective earth connection.
Metallic distribution boxes in hazardous
areas require equipotential bonding with at
least 4 mm².
Protective earth connections have to be
protected against self-loosening.
Risk of serious injury due to incorrect pro-
ceedings.
The assembly with connecting and/or rail-
mounted terminals must be implemented
under the consideration of the EEC design
inspection certificate.
Check when assembling:
•
Use suitable tools.
•
Pay attention to the type of mounting
required
(for
fitting
into
enclo-
sure/attachment with junction box).
•
For distribution boxes placed in outdoors,
steps must be taken to ensure smooth
operation, for example rain protected
roofs, and if necessary, sufficient enclo-
sure protection.
Note
Metallic distribution boxes for intrinsically safe
facilities do not have to be attached to an
equipotential bonding system, except if it is
required by equipment documentation.
Installation
Risk of serious injury due to incorrect pro-
ceedings.
Extensions or modifications to the distribu-
tion box are only permissible if the manu-
facturer’s approval is obtained first.
The IEC/EN60079-14 must be observed.
Installations for the highly combustible range
must exhibit an EEC design inspection certifi-
cate. Installation of these components must
take place in such way, so that at least the
enclosure remains IP54.
Connection of cables and conductors to equip-
ment in hazardous areas require Ex-certified
entries, which are suitable for respective cable
and conductor types. They must possess the
protection type e” and contain a suitable sealing
gasket.
Unused holes for cable entries must been
sealed with Ex-certified plugs. Connection of
cables and conductors of zone 21 and 22
equipment require at least the protection class
IP66.
