To ensure that there is no risk of ignition due to hot surfaces, the equipment is classified with regard to the maximum surface temperature of any part of the equipment while in operation based on the ambient temperature of 40°C. Equipment must be selected with a suitable temperature classification for the gases and vapors present where the equipment is to be installed. Ensure that the maximum surface temperature of any parts of the equipment are below the ignition temperature of the explosive atmosphere concerned.

This equipment is intended for use in ambient temperatures ranging between -20°C and +40°C.

Locations

Flame Proof Enclosure: Ex d IIB

The electric motor consists of one flameproof enclosure, which contains less than 6% magnesium by weight. The on/off switch is housed within the motor enclosure, and is operated by a shaft, extending out from the rear end bell to a lever. The lever is accessible via an attached push rod.

Motor connections are made through a non-detachable cable, secured to the motor with an approved Flame Proof cable gland from the company Hawke, Model 501/421/0/M20 and complies with International

Standards EN 60079-0:2006, EN 60079-1:2004, EN 60079-7:2007.

The electric motor drives an aluminum or plastic fan blade containing less than 6% Magnesium by weight which is enclosed in a plastic, statically conductive housing with a conductivity rating of <1 gigaohmes. Connection to the motor is facilitated by a Terminal Block mounted in an Increased Safety/Flame Proof Enclosure rated II 2 G Ex e II T6, from the company Rose Industries, Part No. 05080806, and covered under the certificate No. PTB 00ATEX1063. This box was designed to conform to International Standards EN 60079-0:2006, EN

60079-1:2004, EN 60079-7:2006, EN 61241-0:2004 and EN 61241-

1:2004. The enclosure features stainless steel grounding lugs, with a high heat silicon gasket.

The Flame Proof enclosure has attached, approved, explosion proof cable glands Rated: IIGD Ex e II

The power cable from each blower is terminated with either a yellow

120VAC or a Blue 240VAC Explosion-proof plug to match the operating voltage of the motor. The plugs are made by Appleton and complies with International Standards: EN 60079-0:2006, EN 60079-1:2004, EN

61241-0:2004, EN 61241-1:2004 & EN 60079-7:2006.

The fans are assembled with both Inlet and Outlet Safety Guards that conform to the safety standards to prevent danger zones being reached by upper limbs in the BS EN 294:1992

Guards Standard.

INSTRUCTION & CARE

INSTALLATION & START-UP

During the installation and start-up of the Euramco Safety blowers in areas where there is a risk of explosion:

▪ Design of the electrical installations must be in accordance with

EN 60079-14.

▪ Ensure power source is providing an electrical ground.

▪ Blowers must be integrated into a system in a way to support accessibility for regular maintenance.

▪ Perform careful inspection of each blower system to ensure ducting is securely attached to blower. All components of the blower system are made of electrically conductive material. It is very important to properly and securely attach each piece to maintain a ground path.

▪ Ensure set-up, installation, operation, and maintenance are performed only by properly trained personnel.

▪ Operation after a faulty installation or maintenance shall be considered as unintended use.

Before STARTING the FIRST Time

DO not start operation if there are signs of shipping damage to blade, guards, or housing. STOP, call your dealer. USE Ex-Rated receptacles for this equipment. IT IS NOT recommended to use extension cords for high amperage load. (See power rating label on limit.)

OPERATION

Always ensure the switch is in the OFF position prior to connecting a ventilator to a power source.

Stop the blower if mechanical noise, vibration, or other abnormal conditions occur. Any noise other than turbine-type pitch is not normal.

To protect the user, this unit is equipped with thermal overload protection with automatic reset. Motor will restart without warning after protector trips. If motor thermal protection trips, disconnect unit and determine cause.

Conductive RAMFAN Portable Ventilators are made with statically conductive materials. When ducting is required to remote the ventilator from the point of application in a potentially explosive environment, the ducting must be statically conductive and properly secured to ventilator to minimize the potential fan static electricity build up.

MAINTENANCE

Disconnect power before disassembly or cleaning. Never immerse or directly spray motor with liquids.

Clean ventilator with commercially available biodegradable cleaning solutions. Do not use solvents containing hydrocarbons (i.e. MEK,

Acetone).

Clean fan periodically to remove accumulated dust or debris.

There are no user serviceable parts. Contact factory for replacement part applicability.

SM-EFATEX Rev C

Do not change make or model number of motor for any reason!

CAUTIONS

Do not move ventilator while fan is in operation. Use good lifting practices when moving ventilator to prevent bodily injury.

Blower should be operated and repaired by trained personnel only.

Do not operate if there is any physical damage to cord, plug or receptacle.

Keep fingers and hands clear of fan blade. Keep fan guard securely in place. Do not operate with damaged or missing fan guards.

Use properly grounded power receptacle in potentially explosive atmospheres, and for operation safety. Ensure continuity to the earth.

Fatal electrical shock may result if motor frame and adjacent metal are not grounded in compliance with electrical code.

Keep area clear of rock and debris.

Keep away from children.
