T6 Temperature Classification
* According to EN 60079-0:2006
85°C T6
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.

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 612411:2004. 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
Type: Polyamide Ex metric conforms to International Standards EN
60079-0:2006, EN 60079-7:2006, EN 61241-0:2006 and EN 612411:2004.

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.
