TERMS USED IN THIS MANUAL
ATEX
Directive 94/9/EC, commonly called the
ATEX („Atmosphères Explosibles“)
products directive.
Area Classification
MLT 2 / BINOS® 100 F
Zone 1
Where ignitable concentrations of
flammable gases can exist some of the time
under normal operating conditions.
(A guideline value [not part of a standard ]
is 10 to 1.000 hours per year.)
Equipment to be used in Zone 1 has to be
classified Category 2.
The „External explosion protection“ serves
to prevent penetration of explosive gas
mixtures into the analyzer enclosure. In
addition it avoids ignition on the surface. For
this reason the analyzer is purged with
protective gas and held at an internal
overpressure compared to the surrounding
atmosphere.
Containment System
The part of the analyzer containing the gas
that may constitute an internal source of
release.
Zone 2
Where ignitable concentrations of
flammable gases are not likely to exist under
normal operating conditions.
(A guideline value [not part of a standard ] is
less than 10 hours per year.)
Equipment to be used in Zone 2 has to be
classified Category 3.
Internal Explosion Protection
The „Internal explosion protection“ serves to
prevent ignition of gas being present in the
analyzer’s Containment System (CS;
= sample gas path).
Dependent on the gas composition several
options are available:
•None required (if gas is noncombustible),
• dilution by purge gas
and/or
•internal overpressure of the analyzer’s
enclosure compared to the CS.
Lower Explosion Limit (LEL)
V olume ratio of flammable gas in air below
which an explosive gas atmosphere will not
be formed: the mixture of gas and air lacks
sufficient fuel (gas) to burn.
Emerson Process Management Manufacturing GmbH & Co. OHG
Upper Explosion Limit (UEL)
V olume ratio of flammable gas in air above
which an explosive gas atmosphere will not
be formed: the mixture of gas and air is too
rich in fuel (deficient in oxygen) to burn.

Terms used in this manual
ATEX Instruction Manual
ETC01035
August 2005
Protective Gas
Air or inert gas used for purging and
maintaining an overpressure and, if
required, dilution.
Pre-Purging
The pre-purging phase serves to remove any
combustible gas out of the analyzer’s
enclosure prior to switching on the analyzer.
Pressurization modes
„Continuous Flow“
In EEx p „continuous flow mode“ the
protective gas flows with higher rates
through the enclosure. Flow rates are
calculated to hold an overpressure of > 1
mbar compared to atmospheric.
Dilution
The continuous supply of a protective gas,
after purging, at such a rate that the
concentration of a flammable mixture inside
the pressurized enclosure is maintained at
a value outside the explosive limits except
in a dilution area.
„Leakage Compensation“
In EEx p „leakage compensation mode“ just
as much protective gas is used to hold the
required overpressure compared to
atmospheric.
Flammable Gas(es)
Gases and gas mixtures are assigned to be
flammable if they might become ignitable
when in a mixture with air.

SECTION 1
Technical Description
1-1Application and Principle of Operation
MLT 2 / BINOS® 100 F
The gas analyzers of type BINOS® 100 F
and MLT 2 are intended to measure gas
components within gas mixtures. In
combination with an appropriate certified
pressurization system (protection method
„Pressurized Enclosure“ EEx p) they can be
installed and operated in hazardous areas
of Category 2 or Category 3.
Pressurization acts as external explosion
protection and prevents external explosive
atmosphere to penetrate into the analyzer
by holding the enclosure at an overpressure
compared to the surrounding
The type of purge system used varies
dependent on the area where the analyzer
is intended to be installed. Both systems
offer two modes of operation:
•EEx p with continuous flow
and
•EEx p with leakage compensation.
Dependent on the sample gas composition
it may be necessary to take care of internal
explosion protection which refers to the
sample gas path (containment system) in
the analyzer.
One of the following protection methods is
used:
•Nonflammable gases and gas
mixtures below the LEL: It must be
ensured that the sample gas in the
containment system always remains
below the lower explosive limit!
•Flammable gases and gas mixtures
may be analyzed using an analyzer with
pressurization method „leakage
compensation“ when the sample gas is
diluted below ¼ LEL outside the
analyzer, so the resulting sample gas
is to be categorized „nonflammable“.
The diluting system must ensure that the
gas in the containment system always
remains below ¼ LEL.
•Flammable gases and gas mixtures
may be analyzed using an analyzer with
pressurization method „leakage
compensation“ or „continuous flow“
when the analyzer enclosure has an
internal overpressure of > 50 Pa over
the pressure in the containment system.
To ensure this condition a differential
pressure switch is used and connected
between containment system and
analyzer enclosure. In case the
pressure decreases below the level of
50 Pa the switch is activated and forces
the purging unit to disconnect the
analyzer from it’s power supply . If more
than one switch is needed because
more than one flammable gas is
supplied to the analyzer, the cont acts of
these switches have to be connected
in series. Purge medium may be inert
gas or air. Flame arrestors are required
for all gas inlets and outlets carrying
flammable gases.
•Explosive gases must not be
connected to the analyzer!

ATEX Instruction Manual
ETC01035
January 2004
An internal overpressure inside the protected housing prevents outer (possibly explosive) atmosphere to enter.
Instruments intended to be installed in Zone
1 are automatically prepurged before power
is supplied. This ensures that all possibly
explosive atmosphere present inside the
instrument is removed. The prepurge
process is controlled by the pressurization
control unit which also acitivates switching
on the analyzer when the prepurge phase
has elapsed.
While the Zone 2 unit mainly consists of a
pressure monitor with alarm contacts the
Zone 1 unit contains a purge gas inlet valve
(proportional valve), a controller unit with
microprocessor and an outlet valve (high
pressure version only). The controller unit
permanently monitors the parameters (e.g.
prepurge phase, purge gas flow, internal
overpressure, and more) and therefore
ensures safe operation. A separate instruction manual provides more detailled information.
The Zone 1 system is available in two
differing variations due to different
requirements for measuring flammable and
non-flammable gases:
Measuring non-flammable gases:
The system provides an internal overpressure of 14 mbar during operation.
Measuring flammable gases:
The standard configuration is designed to
hold an internal overpressure of 90 mbar.
Optionally 14 mbar may be adjusted if it is
ensured that the gas pressure within the
Containment System is allways below
12 mbar.
In addition one differential pressure switch
is installed within any gas path to ensure the
instrument‘s overpressure is always at least
50 Pa (0.5 mbar) above the pressure in the
containment system.

1-3-6Differential Pressure Monitoring
For analyzers connected to flammable gases (either sample gas or span gas) the operator
needs to ensure that the pressure within the containment system always remains at minimum
50 Pa below the pressure within the analyzer enclosure. This ensures that in case of a leak the
flammable gas does not enter the enclosure.
An additional differential pressure switch must be provided to monitor the pressure difference.
The switch’s electric contact has to be connected to the purge system. In case the pressure
difference decreases below 50 Pa the contact opens and the purge system shuts down the
analyzer.
The limit of 50 Pa is the least permissible value given by the standards, higher values are
acceptable, too.
Flame arrestors are required for gas inlets and outlets.
Electrical and mechanical connections are shown in section 2 „Installation“.
