(1) Installation for ISSeP/ATEX Flameproof Apparatus
1. General
1.1 e apparatus protected by the ameproof enclosure in accordance with EN
60079-1 can be installed in such hazardous areas, for which the apparatus has
been certied, as an explosive atmosphere containing ammable substances in
the form of gas, vapour, mist or dust may be present.
Note: e apparatus has been certied to comply with EN 61241-0, EN 61241-1
(dust ignition protection).
1.2 The apparatus enclosure must be kept closed in the hazardous areas when
the apparatus is energized because the internal circuit of the apparatus is
capable of igniting the explosive atmosphere. (Never connect any hand-held
communicator to the apparatus terminals by opening the cover, except while no
explosive atmosphere is present.)
1.3 It is required to connect the external earthing terminal of the apparatus to
the equipotential bonding system which includes protective conductors,
metal conduits, metal cable sheaths, steel wire armouring and metallic parts of
structures, but does not include the neutral conductors of the power systems.
Note: e protective conductor to which exposed conductive parts of equipment
(machines, apparatus, devices, components and instrumentation thereof)
are connected, must be separated in the hazardous area from the neutral
conductor, and must be connected to the power systems earth point in the
non-hazardous area, if the power system is directly earthed.
For external earthing and bonding of the apparatus it is recommended to use
a cable lug so that the conductor is secured against loosening and twisting and
that the contact pressure is permanently secured.
1.4 Either cable systems (cable entry systems) or conduit systems can be employed
for wiring of the apparatus in the hazardous areas (see 2 or 3).
1.5 Non-sheathed single core cables are not permitted for live conductors unless
they are installed inside enclosures or conduit systems.
1.6 Conduits and, in special cases, cables (for example, where there is a pressure
difference) must be sealed so as to prevent the passage of the explosive
atmosphere.
1.7 Further information concerning installation and maintenance of apparatus
is given by relevant clauses of the following documents.
EN 60079-14 Electrical apparatus for explosive gas atmospheres
EN 60079-17 Part 17: Inspection and maintenance of electrical installations in

2. Cable systems
2.1 Thermoplastic sheathed cables, thermosetting sheathed cables, or
elastomeric sheathed cables can be selected for xed wiring in the hazardous
areas.
2.2 Flameproof cable entry devices (cable glands) certified to comply with EN
60079-1 and appropriate to the type of cable employed, must be used for the
connection of cables to the apparatus.
3. Conduit systems
For conduit systems, relevant national standards or codes of practice are followed
prior to the following recommendations.
3.1 Screwed heavy gauge steel, solid drawn or seam welded conduit, or exible
conduit for protection of cables in explosive atmospheres (see ISO 10807) can
be selected for xed wiring in the hazardous areas.
3.2 Conduit must be threaded for connection to permit the full engagement of
ve threads.
3.3 Either conduit entry devices or sealing devices such as stopping boxes are
provided at the wall of the apparatus enclosure to limit the pressure piling eect
and to prevent hot gases from entering the conduit system from the enclosure
containing a source of ignition. Each type of both the devices must be certied
to comply with EN 60079-1.
3.4 The stopping boxes, if used, are filled with a compound which does not
shrink or setting and is impervious to, and unaected by, chemicals found in
the hazardous area. e depth of the compound in the stopping box is at least
equal to the internal diameter of the conduit, but in no case less than 10 mm.
3.5 When the conduit contains three or more non-seathed single or multi-core
cables, the total cross-sectional areas of cables, including insulation, are not
more than 40% of the cross-sectional area of the conduit.
4. Installation in explosive atmospheres caused by air / dust
mixtures
4.1 Conduit or cable glands, if employed to connect cables to the apparatus, must
be selected and used in such a way that an IP6X protection (dust-tight) is
guaranteed.
4.2 It is recommended to maintain the apparatus so that the dust layer will not
exceed a thickness of 5 mm.
Note: Where the ignition temperature of a dust layer up to 5 mm thickness is
equal to, or higher than, the value that is obtained by adding 75K to the
maximum surface temperature of the enclosure “T...°C” as marked on the
apparatus, the apparatus is incapable of causing ignition of the dust layer.
(T...°C is based on the maximum ambient temperature)

CAUTION
A block valve is a kind of air actuator valve. It is used mainly for the protection of the TCD and
columns.
It works as sample shut-off valve when the pressure of the carrier gas or air supply is lower than
approximately 294 kPa.
Azbil Corporation recommends that it should be installed.
The Heat Value Gas Chromatograph measures process gases (N2, CO2, C1~C6+) that
are mainly contained in natural gas, calculates heat value, density, Wobbe index and
compressibility factor, and converts them into a Fieldbus signal in the field and trans- mits the
signal to receivers.
Parameters can be remotely set, adjusted, and self-diagnosed with the HGM.
