Installation
To minimise the risk of ignition by electrical apparatus in hazardous areas efficient installation, inspection and maintenance of apparatus and
systems is essential and the work should be carried out by suitably trained personnel in accordance with the prevailing code of practice.

1) For ASMT170 terminal box applications, when selecting cable sizes reference should be made to Table 1 to ensure that the current in the
circuit will not result in greater heat dissipation than the MDP figure stated above.
2) The enclosure should be used as a template when marking fixing points. Expanding bolts should be used when mounting on concrete, or
suitably sized bolts, nuts and anti-vibration washers when mounting to a steel framework. When the enclosure is supplied fitted with a PV
type breather drain, the enclosure must be mounted with this at the bottom.
3) No metal should be removed from the enclosure i.e. extra cable entries or mounting points should not be made.
4) No modifications should be made to the fitted equipment without consultation with Pepperl+Fuchs. The fitted equipment has been
assessed to produce a heat rise that will maintain the stated gas/dust temperature classes.
5) Cable entries should be made only with suitably approved Ex d / Ex tb glands noting that this equipment is suitable for use with gas group
IIB & dust group IIIC. IP ratings should be suitable for the intended area of installation.
6) Ensure that the type of cable being used is suitable for the type of gland. Certain types of cable have a hollow centre and must not be used
with compression type glands. With these types of cables, barrier or ‘stuffing’ glands should be used.
7) All unused entries should be fitted with suitably approved Ex d / Ex tb stopping plugs.
8) A corrosion inhibiting grease may be applied to the surface of the flameproof joints before assembly. If applied, the grease should be of a
type that does not harden because of ageing, does not contain any evaporating solvent and does not cause corrosion of the joint surfaces.
9) Once the cover is fitted, ensure that all fasteners are fully tightened.

Special conditions for safe use

Maintenance
Electrical apparatus installed in hazardous locations has design features that make it operationally safe under normal conditions. In order to
ensure that the apparatus remains serviceable the following points should be attended to on a periodical basis. The period between inspections
is not fixed, but should be adjusted to suit the environmental conditions where the equipment is situated. An initial inspection after 12 months of
use is suggested.

1) Ensure that all fasteners are present and of the correct property class. Refer to the certification label for details.
2) Ensure that the enclosure is not damaged or distorted so as to affect the dimensions of the flameproof joints.
3) Ensure external earth bonding connections are in place and in good condition.
4) Ensure that all entry devices are in good condition and securely tightened.
5) Ensure that the certification label is present and legible.

Ensure that the location where the equipment is fitted is free from flammable gas or dust. With the enclosure open:

6) If a cover gasket is fitted, ensure that it remains in place and is in good condition. Replacement gaskets are available from Pepperl+Fuchs.
7) Look for pitting or damage to the flamepaths of the enclosure body and cover. Surface corrosion may be removed, but abrasive cleaners
should not be used.
8) Look for wear or damage to the flamepaths of any operating shafts (pushbuttons or rotary switches) that pass through the enclosure.
9) The flamepaths of the enclosure should be cleaned, and may optionally be coated in grease to guard against corrosion. If applied, the
grease should be of a type that does not harden because of ageing, does not contain any evaporating solvent and does not cause corrosion
of the joint surfaces.
10) With the cover refitted, ensure that all fixings are fully tightened.
