Pepperl Fuchs EPV 6000 Vent Data Sheet

EPV-6000 Vent

EPV 6000 Vent

Features

• Maximum enclosure size 450 ft3 (12.7 m3)

• Pressure relief vent with flow and pressure monitoring at the
exhaust

• Universal mounting in any orientation

• 6000 Control Unit supports 2 vents

• Different vents for different applications

Function

The EPV-6000 vent exhausts excess pressure from the
enclosure and measures flow and pressure during operation.
The 6000 series vent has a pressure transducer and thermal
flow sensor that is connected to the 6000 EPCU. It is
intrinsically safe through the galvanic isolation barrier within
the 6000 EPCU.

Because measurement of the flow is always at the exhaust of
the pressurized enclosure, the vent is located on the
enclosure(s) such that it is venting to the atmosphere.The
EPV-6000 vent can be mounted vertically or horizontally and
is not gravity dependent.

The EPV-6000 vent can be mounted externall or internally to
the enclosure. When mounting internally, only the vent cap is
exposed to the outside atmosphere.
