(1) Installation for ISSeP/ATEX Flameproof Apparatus
1. General
1.1 The apparatus protected by the flameproof enclosure in accordance with EN
50018 can be installed in such hazardous areas, for which the apparatus has been
certified, as an explosive atmosphere containing flammable substances in the form
of gas, vapour, mist or dust may be present.
~Note The apparatus has been certified to comply with EN 50281-1-1 (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 The 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
Part 14: Electrical installations in hazardous areas other than mines
EN 60079-17 Part 17: Inspection and maintenance of electrical installations in
hazardous areas.
EN 50281-1-2 Electrical apparatus for use in the presence of combustible dust
Part 1-2: Electrical apparatus protected by enclosures

Safety Yamatake Corporation
2. Cable systems
2.1 Thermoplastic sheathed cables, thermosetting sheathed cables, or elastomeric
sheathed cables can be selected for fixed wiring in the hazardous areas.
2.2 Flameproof cable entry devices (cable glands) certified to comply with EN 50018
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 flexible
conduit for protection of cables in explosive atmospheres (see ISO 10807) can
be selected for fixed wiring in the hazardous areas.
3.2 Conduit must be threaded for connection to permit the full engagement of five
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 effect
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 certified
to comply with EN 50018.
3.4 The stopping boxes, if used, are filled with a compound which does not shrink
or setting and is impervious to, and unaffected by, chemicals found in the
hazardous area. The 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.
Yamatake 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 transmits the signal to receivers.
Parameters can be remotely set, adjusted, and self-diagnosed with the HGM.
