INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE DATA SHEET
B7NFD COMPACT SERIES IEC DISCONNECT INSTALLATION
For use in Class I, Groups B, C & D, Type 3, 4 & 4X and Class II, Groups E, F & G, and Class III Hazardous
Locations, as defined by the Canadian Electrical Code and the National Electrical Code.
READ THIS SHEET CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION.
IMPORTANT:
This enclosure and device
must
be installed by trained, qualified and competent personnel.
Installation
must
comply with local, state and national regulations, as well as safety practices for this type of equipment.
WARNING:
Electrical power
must
be
OFF
during installation, or performing any maintenance.
Disconnect
primary power
source and
lock out
.
The mounting location must be flat and provide proper clearance, rigidity and strength to support the enclosure and all
contained devices.
Securely fasten the enclosure to the mounting location. Install sealing fittings, cable glands, unions and/or conduit, using
an approved electrical conducting type lubricant on the threads. The conduit thread connections must be tapered pipe
thread conforming to ANSI B1.20.1. A minimum of (5) full threads engagement is required for all conduit connections.
Conduit sealing fittings must be installed within 18 inches of the enclosure. Sealing fittings must be approved for the
specific hazardous location where the enclosure is used. All unused conduit openings must be plugged using Killark
“CUP” close-up plugs. Plugs must be tightly installed with a minimum engagement of (5) full threads.
NOTE: If installing a breather and/or a drain, make certain they are suitable for the specific hazardous location where
they are to be used. Some drains/breathers may not comply with Nema 3 & 4 standards. Also, provide a protective
covering to shield the breather and drain during hose-down operations.
For “factory complete” units, follow the instructions at
● and dis-regard the mounting instructions/drawings.
If
not
a “factory complete” unit, install the IEC Disconnect of your choice per the instructions provided with the device and
the drawings shown on following pages. In the drawings, locate manufacturer of device being installed and note the
specific holes being used to mount device din rail into enclosure box. The din rail numbers correspond with a mounting
location in the enclosure box and are specific to each device. Install din rail in correct location, then install and align
Disconnect and end blocks (where needed) onto din rail, following the drawings provided. Secure end blocks
permanently on both sides of disconnect by using a screw driver and tightening the recessed screws. Cut “square shaft”
(21872) provided, to the over-all length dimension shown in the chart on page 3, for the specific device being used.
(NOTE: smooth out the cut edge of the shaft). Insert the cut shaft, allowing it to rest at the bottom of the device interface
opening and in the orientation shown in the “Disconnect Mounting” pictures that follow.
● Wire the Disconnect as required. Factory installed rotary operator is mounted into cover and aligned at the factory to
interface with Disconnect, once din rail and enclosure cover are installed onto box.
▲ Inspect and clean the machined flange flame joint surfaces of both the cover and the box. Surfaces must be smooth,
free of nicks, scratches, dirt or any foreign particle build-up that would prevent a proper seal. Surfaces must seat fully
against each other to provide a proper explosion-proof joint. Clean surfaces by wiping with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Apply a light coating of Killark “LUBG” lubricant to flange surfaces and close the cover. Tighten all cover bolts. Use only
those bolts supplied with the enclosure. Check the bolted joint with a .0015 thick feeler gauge. The gauge must not
enter the joint more than 1/8” at any point.
NOTE:
Loose bolts or an improper joint can result in an explosion, creating a
potential for physical injury and property damage.
