General rules for installation:
Important note: These connection boxes are intended to monitor or control ambient temperatures in gas or dust hazardous areas. PPS enclosure and stainless-steel accessories allow their use in industrial or marine environments,including in cold polar areas
For gas hazardous areas, this equipment is approved as “Ex-eb” and is suitable for use in zone 1 and zone 2, gas group IIC (Hydrogen/Acetylene, the highest protection group), with a temperature classification T5.
For dust hazardous areas, this equipment is approved as “Ex-tb”, suitable for use in, zone 21 and zone 22, the dust group is IIIC (electric conductive dust, the highest protection group), with ambient temperature limits on its body from -60°C to +80°C.
Main use: These enclosures have been engineered for use with flat self-temperature controlled heating cables and mounted on pipes.
Approvals: These enclosures are certified: ATEX: TÜV 22 ATEX 8894 X; IECEx: IECEx TUR 22. 0059 X; CCCEx: pending
Housing: UV-resistant PPS, diameter 150mm, maximum depth 200mm. The box also includes a 125mm long PPS foot allowing offset mounting on pipes. Waterproof class IP66. Shock resistance greater than IK10.
Lid: Unscrews in ¼ turn, with lock. The lid also includes a stainless-steel anti-fall chain and two holes for seals. The lid automatically locks in the closed position. It can be unlocked simply with a small flat screwdriver.
Identification: Riveted anodized aluminum plate, fixed to the rear wall.
Cable glands: An M20 cable gland and an M25 cable gland are incorporated as standard on the right side. Up to 2 tapped holes for 16, 20 or 25mm cable glands are possible on the opposite side. The leg includes a special cable gland that can accommodate up to two flat heating cables of 6.2 × 13.2mm and a diastat capillary with a 6mm diameter wall penetration fitting. Tightening of the cable gland is made with 4 M6 stainless steel locking screws.
Mounting: On pipes, by hose clamp (10 × 35mm passage).
Maximum temperature supported by the pipe mounting foot: 220°C
Optional accessories:
- A 35mm DIN rail, useful width 90mm can be mounted on the two holes with 96.5mm distance.
- A stainless steel plate for mounting of 4mm² and 6mm² ATEX connection blocks made by JPCI.
- A stainless steel plate for mounting KA series explosion-proof thermostats
- Foot gland packing for special sized heating cables.
