Safety instructions

The operations must be carried out
a
by electrical suitably trained
in hazardous area with knowledge
of increased safety explosion protection
IEC/EN 60079-14.
The plastic or stainless steel terminal boxes
GHG 74. are not suitable for Zone 0 and
Zone 20 hazardous areas.
The temperature class and explosion group
marked on the terminal boxes have to be
observed.
The requirements of the IEC/EN 60079-31
regarding excessive dust deposits and
temperature to be considered from the user.
Modifications to the terminal boxes or
changes of their design are not permitted.
They have to be used for their intended
purpose and in perfect and clean condition.
Prior to taking the terminal boxes into
operation, they will have to be checked in
accordance with the instruction as per
section 6.
Before the initial operation, any foreign
matter will have to be removed from the
terminal boxes.
Observe the national safety rules and
regulations for prevention of accidents as
well as the safety instructions included in
these operating instructions and set in
italics the same as this text!

Field of application

The plastic or stainless steel terminal boxes are
suitable for use in Zone 1 and 2 as well as in
Zones 21 and 22 hazardous areas acc. to
IEC/EN 60079-10-1 and IEC/EN 60079-10-2!
The enclosure materials employed, including
the exterior metal parts, are made of high-quali-
ty materials which ensure a corrosion protec-
tion and resistance to chemical sub-stances
corresponding to the requirements in a "normal
industrial atmosphere":
– glass-fibre reinforced polyester
– special stainless steel V4 A AISI 316 L
In case of use in an extremely aggressive
atmosphere, please refer to manufacturer.
5 Use / Properties
The terminal boxes are intended for the distribu-
tion of electrical energy, e.g. light circuits,
heating circuits, control circuits, intrinsically
safe circuits etc.(as to temperature class,
explosion group, permissible ambient tempera-
ture, see technical data).
The intended use does not include applica-
tions with high-charging processes. Those
could be for example high-voltage sources
generating ion-winds or pneumatically
transported dust atmospheres in touch with
the enclosure.
The electrical limiting values that are
decisive for the intrinsic safety shall be
observed.
The data as per point 3 and 4 will have to be
taken into account with the use.
Applications other than described are not
permitted without COOPER CROUSE-HINDS/
CEAG´s prior written consent.
Information on the safe use of third-party
products, unless non specified in these
operating instructions, have to be requested
from the respective manufacturer of the
equipment.
For the operation, the instructions stated in
section 7 of the operating instructions will
have to be observed.
The responsibility for the suitability and
proper use of the terminal boxes lies on the
user.
